"I always read that I fight with everyone, when actually the only person I fight with is Higuain. I don’t know why that is, but it’s always been the case. Maybe it’s because he needs a rather aggressive counterpoint to bring out the best in him," Maurizio Sarr said at a press conference, as quoted by Goal.
"Mentally he’s fine but physically I don’t know how much he can take because he’s been on and off lately. He needs pampering one day and beating against a wall the next!
"When he’s feeling down, he needs caring for. When he’s on a high, he must be brought down a peg because he can get too carried away.”
Higuain's return at Juventus meant the third reunion with Sarri in his career. The striker scored 36 goals after Sarri was appointed as Napoli coach in 2015.
The two had also teamed up when Higuain was loaned to Chelsea in 2019.
