For Santiago Giménez, forward for the Mexican national team, As long as there is life there is hope in the Copa América 2024, which is why through a message on his social networks he called on everyone to continue fighting, taking into account that there are options to reverse what has currently happened in this continental competition where it began. with victory over Jamaica 1-0 and painful defeat with Venezuela 0-1.

“A difficult result to accept, but this is not over yet… We are going all out to qualify,” was Giménez’s message on his social networks in a post accompanied by several images and where he sought to generate greater support from fans, without going into the negative result with Venezuela or the fact that he still hasn’t played 90 minutes of the Mexican national team’s games.

Giménez with the personality to face the difficult moments he is experiencing in the Aztec team’s attack, Well, he has been strongly questioned for his 12 games without scoring a goal. which has accumulated since his last score last year to win the Gold Cup title.

Nor the controversy that his father, the former Cruz Azul, Veracruz and América player, has started, as a defense, considering that coach Jaime Lozano does not have enough confidence in him to support him in the 90 minutes of action and that he makes him play more out of obligation than pleasure.

Giménez faces aspects such as not having had clear scoring opportunities and when he had one he let it slip away, like in the 28th minute of action against Venezuela, where he did everything to score the goal, but his shot came out dribbled as he could not hit the ball correctly.

But beyond everything, “Chaquito” received signs of support in his publication, where many fans support him and others question it, but the publication generated attention and obviously displays of support for the Mexican team, as could be seen.

“You are the best, but the team is not playing along. There are many things to improve from the federation, the country, etc.” “You are Mexico’s striker in the next World Cup, believe it!” “Don’t despair, Bebote. Keep working on improving your finishing, because the truth is that they hardly ever give you any balls in front of goal, so you have to finish off the few you have.” “They took Henry and Raúl away from you so you wouldn’t feel pressure and you’re not taking advantage of it. Focused dude,” were some of the messages he received after his post.
