Today’s match represents a crucial test for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, who are aiming to demonstrate that their progress is not just a flash in the pan. For this reason, various individuals will be called upon to step up.
A ‘final call’?
Among them is undoubtedly Gimenez, who will start again this evening. The Mexican striker is going through a particularly difficult period mentally, as demonstrated in the recent match against Bologna at San Siro.
During that eventual 1-0 victory, Gimenez spectacularly missed a golden opportunity having been put through on goal by Santiago Gimenez. It sadly kept up the trend regarding the difficulties he’s been facing since joining.
The paper has the headline: ‘Gimenez goes forward, it’s the final call. Still a starter, but he needs to convince. If it’s not the last call, something very close’. It highlights the mounting pressure on the young striker.
To continue to enjoy the confidence of Allegri and confidently claim a starting spot in upcoming matches, Gimenez will need to get going as soon as possible. The beauty of being a striker is that the task is very simple: score a goal to silence the noise.
Final call??
He is the only striker we have. What’s the plan?
Allegry needs to deal with that until January
and make the most of him.

So Santi nearly assisted … Santi?
🤔
No you didn’t read it right.. Giminez almost assisted santi
Great I’ll be looking for Christan to assist Pulisic this week.
In the first 3 matches the Mexican was Ridiculous..
I was hoping that with the midfield upgrade he’ll get going but was disappointing so far. Hopefully he scores tonight and puts this crisis behind him, but I am not as optimistic as I was before the season started.
He actually had a decent game last weekend, except for the two goals he should have put in. It is a big “except”, a huge one, I acknowledge. But it at least gives some hope for the future. His movement and work rate were great, but he was betrayed by his first touch and lack of confidence
