It is difficult to manage a striker when he doesnt score. Higuain must find the real himself, he is living in a different situation for him, he left Juventus and he is here on loan.
He is very important for us and he knows it.
It remains to be seen whether Higuain will be a Chelsea player by the end of the January transfer window, but its reported he wants to re-join old manager Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge.
Chelseas next game is against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
