Juventus Much More Than Gonzalo Higuain Says Vincenzo Montella
AC Milan are set to face Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana, with Vincenzo Montella aware of the tough task his side face.
Vincenzo Montella says he has more than Gonzalo Higuain to worry about when AC Milan meet Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana.
Milan meet Juve in Qatar on Friday, looking to avenge their defeat in May's Coppa Italia final.
Montella knows Higuain, the Serie A champions' €90million striker, is a huge threat and feels the Argentina international is worthy of his large price-tag, but the Rossoneri coach also has concern about strike partner Paulo Dybala, among others.
"Juventus are not just about Higuain," Montella said to Tuttosport.
"Paulo Dybala, for example, is one of the best in the world.
"Can we beat them? Well, we have done already, but they are a team that has been built to win the Champions League. Massimiliano Allegri has a complete team that can play in so many ways.
"As for the €90m spent on him [Higuain], it is the law of supply and demand.
"It has made the gap between the value of the players much wider but if we think about what buys you an average player and what buys you a player like Higuain, that right there is this difference.
"It is because the fans identify with being champions, therefore they want a champion."
