This weekend, the spotlight was on San Siro, Italy, where Milan, led by forward Santiago Giménez, achieved a victory over Hellas Verona, coming within just one point of European spots in the overall table.
In this match, the player trained at Cruz Azul was the only one to score, provoking various reactions on social media praising his performance and highlighting him as a player of great quality. One of the most notable comments was from David Faitelson, a journalist from TUDN, who praised Giménez's good match but raised doubts about his performance in the Mexican National Team in the future, citing the competition in that position.
"The problem is that when Santi (Giménez) arrives at the Mexican National Team, he won't be facing Rael Leao, Christian Pulisic, João Félix, and a few others. It happened to Hugo and others," Faitelson mentioned on his official account. These statements generated mixed reactions among fans, who criticized Faitelson for belittling Mexican players and praised Giménez at a delicate time for the National Team.
Regarding Santiago Giménez's performance in the Mexican National Team, despite the criticism received, his performance has not met expectations. Since his debut in the national team at the age of 20, the forward has participated in 32 matches, including friendlies, Nations League, Gold Cup, and Copa América, where he has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in over fifteen hundred minutes on the field.
