Santiago Giménez is experiencing a great moment in European football with Feyenoord, where he is the top scorer of the current season despite being out due to injury for almost two months. In a recent interview on the "We Are Brave Podcast", hosted by Miguel Layún, the Mexican footballer expressed his ambition to become the all-time top scorer for Mexico.
"I believe I will do everything possible to see how far I can go and I know I will be in one of the best teams in the world," said Giménez referring to his aspirations. He also added: "I will be the all-time top scorer in the history of Mexico."
Recalling his arrival in Europe and signing with Feyenoord, Santiago Giménez thanked Cruz Azul and its president, Víctor Velázquez, for giving him the opportunity to take this step in his career. He emphasized that the decision to leave was right and that both the Mexican club and its president allowed him to develop and succeed on the Old Continent.
Currently, the record for the all-time top Mexican scorer in Europe is held by Hugo Sánchez with 313 goals, while Santiago Giménez has scored 64 goals so far and seems to be in a good position to surpass that mark in the future. Despite his club performance, the forward has underperformed with the National Team, where he has only scored four goals, far from Javier Hernández's 52 goals.
El Chaquito, as Santiago Giménez is known, mentioned in the interview his self-belief as a determining factor in achieving his goals. He highlighted that self-confidence and personal pressure are key elements for overcoming oneself and reaching one's objectives. With his outstanding performance in Europe and his determination, Santiago Giménez is on the path to leave a mark as one of the great Mexican goal scorers in the history of football.
