A season to forget, unfortunately shaped by an ankle problem that kept the Mexican away from the pitch for months. Will Santiago Gimenez and Milan continue together? The big answer could arrive in a few weeks. Between his relationship with Allegri and a truly precarious physical condition, could the Mexican become useful again next season?
How is Santiago Gimenez's relationship with Allegri like?
Not negative, but not happy either. Max seems never to have fully understood the qualities and characteristics of 'Bebote', though that is a subjective matter. A coach accustomed to having different kinds of strikers, more mobile compared to Gimenez, who appeared slow and clumsy in the early summer months when Allegri arrived at Milan. Another rather serious issue lies in Tare’s words before Lecce-Milan, when he effectively put Gimenez on the market before a match. So it was known that Allegri had never fully appreciated Santiago, although it must be said that in the most recent period there have been signs and call-ups suggesting a rapprochement. Against Verona, in Milan’s penultimate match, there was a notable incident: Gimenez, who had just come on, was frequently scolded by Allegri over positioning and tactics. An example of how their relationship may always have been like this, focused on the pitch, with trust at times limited.
