Gonzalo Higuaín Real Madrid debut

Gonzalo Higuaín recalls arriving at Real Madrid at 18, fully expecting a move to Castilla or a loan deal instead. On the flight to Madrid his father gave him a specific reminder: treat everyone with respect but never fear them since they have two legs, two eyes, two ears, and a nose just like you. That mindset held up when coach Fabio Capello saw him in a small-sided game during the second training session and declared he was staying with the squad. Just three or four days later he made his debut as a starter in the Copa del Rey against Betis playing as a right midfielder. It was wild seeing Raul or Beckham on the bench while he played, especially since he didn't score many goals early on and faced criticism. Despite the lack of immediate results, Capello kept putting him in.
