The reactions and criticisms after Santiago Giménez’s performance In the defeat of the Mexican team against Venezuela they did not wait and, in the face of questions about the true ability of the Feyenoord striker, his father came out to defend him by ensuring that the striker who has started as a starter in the last two games of the Aztec team in the Copa América 2024 He is not happy with the treatment he has been given coach Jaime Lozano during the current continental competition.

This was stated by the former Boca Juniors, América, Veracruz, Cruz Azul and Pachuca player, Christian Giménez, in his participation as an analyst for the Fox Sports network, ensuring that so that his offspring can score with Mexico and produce as he does with Feyenoord He requires feeling fully supported by his strategist, which is why he was upset when he was relieved in the second half of the match where they fell to Venezuela 0-1.

“What I feel is that in order for us to get the best version of Santi, you need the trust of your coach, of your team. Santi is a 23-year-old boy who is sucking the national team and obviously a lot is being demanded of him and it is normal. I’m not saying one thing for another, I can be a father, but I can also be an analyst and I was also a player, if you have the coach’s trust you will perform differently,” said Christian Giménez.

Not without first accepting that Santiago did not have one of his best performances against Venezuela, “Chaco” also said that he does not understand that Lozano comes out to support Santiago Giménez in front of journalism, but that in reality he puts him to play out of obligation.

“I think he didn’t have a bad game, but he didn’t have a good game either. She is not at her level, she had one and she has to put it in, normally the 9th of the team has to put it in and the difference was that Rondón scored the goal and Santi did not… but I also have to say the other thing: in the end Santi Giménez needs support with actions, not with words.”

The criticism of the so-called “Chaco” went further and said that Santiago is aligned more to force that because of the taste for the coach.

“I also have to say that (Santi Giménez) is not much to Jimmy’s taste, I think there is an issue there that puts it more out of obligation than pleasure.he doesn’t finish completing the minutes, and in the end that’s how it is.”

Giménez was substituted in the 60th minute of the match after missing a clear goal-scoring opportunity during his time on the pitch, but most of the time he had to go out looking for balls to cause damage, so when he was relieved and went to sit on the bench, he ended up kicking a container of water in a clear sign of frustration and anger for leaving the field of play. .
