Hidalgo Sport.- The position of starting center forward in the Mexican National Team is more disputed than ever. Raúl Jiménez seems to have taken advantage due to his good level, however, Henry Martín, Guillermo Martínez and Santiago Giménez also want the position.
‘Bebote’ has lost ground after suffering a serious injury that kept him off the field until 2025. Today the forward spoke about the current situation of the Tricolor, especially with the good level of Raúl Jiménez, both with the national team and with the Fulham.
Despite the rivalry on the field, Santiago Giménez praised Jiménez and confessed that the tricolor’s best level is with Raúl scoring goals. In addition, he assured that if Jiménez, he and other forwards are at a good level, they support each other to continue improving.
“The best version of a Mexican National Team is having everyone competing at the highest level and in that sense, it is good to have Raúl Jiménez who is scoring goals, Henry Martín, me… it is good to have that competition to continue growing,” revealed Santi for TUDN.
In the interview, the Mexican confessed that Raúl has been an example to follow for him. According to Giménez, the way in which his compatriot has recovered his level after his serious injury makes him admire him.
“Raúl creates something very nice in me and not because he scored the goals, because of how he came out of that injury he had, when everything was falling apart, he could have left football, his life was in danger and after he returned, he later had problems of pubalgia, those examples are what make me admire someone.
“I admire Raúl first as a person and then as a footballer, but the present he has given me a lot of happiness. He has come out of very painful circumstances, today you see him and he is shining. It is a clear example that must be followed,” revealed Santi.
