Forward for AC Milan and the Mexican National Team, Saniago Gimenez, is putting a good spin on things by promising that he will return to the Rossoneri lineup at the latest after the operation he took in December.

Gimenez said the above in an interview with ESPN from his residence in Milan, where he stated that he expects to play in a few weeks now that the pain in his ankle has completely subsided, pain that had prevented him from performing at 100% for both AC Milan and the Mexican national team. "It was difficult because there were weeks when I played through the pain. The injury kept getting worse. I needed to stop, but now I just want to focus on the present and the future, not the past. I'm motivated because I'm recovering well and I hope to be able to play again in a few weeks," commented the player known as Bebote. Santiago also addressed the difficult decision he had to make regarding continuing with AC Milan and the World Cup with Mexico with the same injury, or undergoing surgery knowing the risks of missing the entire tournament. Ultimately, however, it was the best decision. "It was an important season with Milan, and then the World Cup was coming up, so it was a difficult decision. But in the end, now that it's over "One month after the operation, I can say it was the best decision," he said. Gimenez has gone through some difficult times at the Italian club because, in addition to the press, the pressure from fans has been constant, claiming they made a mistake signing him from Feyenoord, where he made a name for himself as a goalscorer, but where he has struggled to deliver goals. The rivalry with his teammate Pulisic: Santiago Gimenez also took advantage of the interview to address his relationship with his AC Milan teammate, the American Christian Pulisic, who, paradoxically, is his most direct rival because they compete for the Mexican and US national teams at every opportunity. “We always talk about this in the locker room. They joke with us or ask, “Who's better, the United States or Mexico?” I say Mexico, Pulisic says the United States, and a discussion breaks out in the locker room, but it's all in good fun in the end!

" We're enemies, we're competitors if we play a game between national groups," the saying goes. However, he's one of my best companions in the locker room. We're often together, and I'm hoping he does nicely if he doesn't enjoy against Mexico. But of course, if he plays against Mexico, I will, if I have to "kill" him. He said.

" We create something with our adversaries with Raul Jimenez. "

Raul Jimenez and Santiago Gimenez even discussed developing a strong relationship with each other in the Mexican national team's attack. He's a wonderful friend, we occasionally talk on WhatsApp, and the national team has given me more information, he said.
