Milan: Santi Gimenez still stuck at the post, the numbers don’t lie

After the ambient home draw with Pisa, AC Milan is preparing for the’tricky away match on the field of Atalanta, a match scheduled for Tuesday night at 8:45 pm. Max Allegri is demanding a prompt reaction, so as to get back to grinding points.

From the latest rumors, it seems that the Diavolo may be on the field without Santiago Gimenez. No physical problem, simple technical choice. The’former Feyenoord striker (65 goals with the Dutch club) is struggling enormously in this first slice of the season.

To date, the Mexican center forward is still stuck at the post. Zero goals scored and, above all, several badly wasted goal balls that certify a difficult moment also at the mental level. With the return of Rafael Leao to the field, here is Santiago Gimenez’s titularity is even more at risk.

The’commitment is not in question, as is his willingness to sacrifice himself for the good of the team but, as a striker, he is failing across the board. In a league where all the forwards are struggling, still being out of goals is no small problem for Santiago Gimenez. Having recovered Christhoper Nkunku and being able to count on Alexis Saelemaekers (still out Christian Pulisic), it is clear that Max Allegri could make different choices at the offensive department level for the match with Dea.
