Nobody doubts the extraordinary moment he is experiencing with Feyenoord in the Netherlands, where he is the championship’s leading scorer, but it is also true that Santiago Giménez in the Mexican National Team has not shown the same forcefulness. In the test this Tuesday, in the draw once morest Germany, he missed a very clear goal play that, in the Eredivisie, he scores even with his eyes closed.

Two missed penalties in the recent past with El Tri, the aforementioned mistake once morest the Germans and the competition with Raúl Jiménez and Henry Martin in the axis of the attack, plus the probable arrival of Julián Quiñones, generated the debate in La Última Palabra regarding whether Giménez He should be the undisputed starter with the team because of what he does in Europe, even if he doesn’t go so well with the green team.

Should Santiago Giménez be Mexico’s starter?

Two of our LUP experts, with extensive knowledge of the subject, such as Carlos Hermosillo and Rafael Márquez Lugo, agree that they do not see Bebote as a permanent starter with Jaime Lozano due to his recent presentations, plus the performance of the other attackers mentioned.

“I don’t see Giménez already established as the starter. I understand that he is going there due to his age, his numbers, his projection for the World Cup, but as long as Raúl and Henry continue to fight. Santi was the one who had the most minutes in these two games, but Jaime knows Henry from the Olympics very well and Raúl has given him results in these games,” said Márquez Lugo.

“Santi has to take advantage of these opportunities and today I think Jaime has that doubt because I don’t see that position being defined,” Hermosillo added.

‘Santi Giménez cannot be removed due to a mistake’

The one who most defended the status of starter for the Feyenoord scorer was Fernando Cevallos, arguing that you cannot remove that label from a striker because he misses a goal in a match and claimed that trust should be given to him above all, because that way It is how he has managed to shine in the Old Continent.

“Santiago Giménez needs to be given 3, 4 or 5 games to gain confidence, you are not going to sit him out because of one mistake. As a center forward you need several games to feel supported, when the first one scores, confidence will come,” he declared.
