Despite recording an assist, the match against Bari was far from Santiago Gimenez’s best performance since joining Milan.
Truth be told, things did not go according to plan, with the Mexican striker determined to change his story in the Rossoneri shirt and climb the ranks in Massimiliano Allegri’s system, even as Rafael Leao emerges as a strong candidate for the center-forward role and Victor Boniface’s arrival draws near.
This morning, La Gazzetta dello Sport described Gimenez in these terms:
“A flying start. Right away the chance to earn his place at Milan"
That is especially since in the upcoming matches against Cremonese and Lecce, El Bebote will have the opportunity to score and silence his critics. Admittedly, his fitness is still not at its peak, but a player of his quality is expected to make the difference, no matter the circumstances.
