Last weekend, Santiago Giménez caught attention by scoring an impressive goal at San Siro against Hellas Verona, giving AC Milan the victory and earning praise from Zlatan Ibrahimović, the club's senior advisor.
At the end of the match, Ibrahimović praised Giménez, highlighting his ability as a scorer. "The only fact that matters today is the goal; he is a killer. When he enters the area, he has the possibility of scoring a goal. The quality of Giménez is being ready inside the area, having patience, waiting for the moment, he must be dangerous to use his qualities inside the area. More than scoring, he must play well," he stated in an interview with ESPN.
Additionally, Ibrahimović pointed out that the team is supporting Giménez to reach his best level and emphasized that comparisons should not be made at this point. The former footballer mentioned that Giménez has had a strong impact both on and off the field and that it is crucial to help him perform well, considering how challenging it can be to succeed at such a big club like AC Milan, especially for a player starting in Serie A.
Santiago Giménez's goal in this match marked his second goal in two consecutive games in Serie A, matching a feat previously accomplished only by Shevchenko and Pulisic at AC Milan. Such comparisons are irrelevant at this moment for the young Mexican player.
