In his statements, Christian Giménez mentioned that he feels frustration over the lack of recognition for Santiago's performance from some sectors of the Mexican fanbase. He asserted that the success of other Mexican forwards also benefits the national team, and it is important to appreciate the good moment of the players without constantly looking for mistakes.
