Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain is facing a Napoli backlash this week.

That's the claim of Nicola Amoruso.

“Higuain is a champion and two very difficult games await him in Naples," said Amoruso – who played for both clubs – told Radio CRC.

“His departure was seen as a betrayal, but in those three years he gave extraordinary performances, rewarded by the unique affection from those fans.

“Higuain will feel the consequences of his choices the moment he steps on to the field. In some games, the Stadio San Paolo can give you so much and right now there is a great deal of enthusiasm in the city.

“However, when things are going badly, the San Paolo atmosphere can burn you. Either way, it's an unforgettable experience."
