Miami: Former Argentine striker, Gonzalo Higuan has faced criticisms after a photograph of him surfaced in the United States, showing his current appearance. The former striker was spotted in a sporting goods store in Miami with a thick beard, a sleeveless shirt, and casual clothing, a look far removed from the recognizable figure who scored goals for River Plate, Real Madrid, Napoli, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Inter Miami, and the Argentina national team.
According to Ghana Web, the image circulating on social media triggered strong reactions from fans, many of whom expressed shock at his transformation. Some users claimed that the former prolific goal scorer's new look makes him appear like a 'farmer or homeless' person struggling to sustain himself. Others argued that a player of his caliber, who played for top clubs and earned huge salaries, should not present such an appearance, raising concerns about his well-being.
Several fans accused him of being 'careless' about maintaining his physical appearance, while others speculated that there might be underlying issues. Despite the backlash, Higuan has not responded to the trending image or explained the reason behind his new look.
