The youth squad America club Raul Jimenez he is going through not only a goalscoring drought, but also a bad moment in general, which is very noticeable by the few minutes he is receiving in the Wolverhampton. This Saturday morning was no exception, as he started the game on the bench and it was not until the second half that he was able to enter the field, although obviously he was uncomfortable on the pitch.
It was at the beginning of the second half that Jiménez came on as a substitute along with Pedro Neto substituting for Ruben Neves y Fabio Silvawhen the Wolves they were losing 0 – 1. However, Jiménez had few or no chances on goal and constantly had to go down to midfield to support his teammates, something we know he is very good at, but in this case it prevented him from having any chance clear in front of the arch.
The only time that Jiménez was able to generate greater danger was in a drive that he generated himself, but he was immediately shot down by the defenders of the Brighton on the outskirts of the large area, so he only got a free kick that could not enter the rival goal.
Worry about the World Cup
Before his fracture, Jiménez was called to be the great leader of the Mexican team and even from Wolverhamton. However, although there is apparently no additional risk in his return to the pitch and he has even been seen to finish off or give passes with his head, it is a fact that his level has not been the same, especially if we consider that he stayed without the DT who supported him the most, Nuno Espírito Santoand without his great duo in the attack, Adama Traoréwhich has clearly forced him to change his style of play.
