Santiago Giménez completed his twelfth game without scoring a goal as a forward for the Mexican national team and under this scenario the matter became critical of his performance on the field of play, since the fans of the Aztec team placed him as a target for the defeat with red wine and expressed it to him. through memes and mockery on social networks, blaming it as one of the factors of the historic setback against the Venezuelan team.

Unfortunately, Giménez’s effort and desire were not enough to prevent Mexican fans from using him as a target for their frustrations.mocking his performance, especially after that play in the 28th minute with a pass from Luis Romo that he could not define in front of goalkeeper Rodolfo Romo, preventing Mexico from taking the lead on the scoreboard.

The truth is that for the followers of the Mexican team, the target of ridicule and frustration was Santiago Giménez, questioning the failures he had against Romo’s frame, echoing that Jaime Lozano was wrong by not calling América forward Henry Martín to the continental competition.

Even in the criticisms and pujas, the little football contribution of the Aztec team and the lack of tactical reaction were questioned. which Jaime Lozano showed in the bench area, where it seemed that the ideas had been left in the locker room and at all times he bet on changes of man per man, rather than some tactical movement, formation or some aspect of planning.

The last straw was at the time of taking the penalty, where there was no player designated to take the shot, as existed in Venezuela, where the official collector was Salomón Rondón, with the results already known with Mexico’s first defeat and the same number of victories for Venezuela in the 14 matches they have held throughout history.

Now Mexico, due to this disappointing performance, will have to wait until next Sunday to see if it gets a pass to the next phase by facing Ecuador on the third and last date of Group B where Venezuela It already has a guaranteed ticket to the next phase of the Copa América with six points, the product of two victories, the first over Ecuador 2-1 and the second against.
