Although he scores goals in Europe, the 15 million from Ochoa for wich Gimenez will not be a starter in Qatar
Santiago Gimenez shined in Feyenoord's loss to Lazio, yet Martino has other plans for him.
Santi Giménez's Feyenoord faced Lazio in the UEFA Europa League with a certainly negative result for the Dutch team, but with a sublime performance by the Mexican, who is crying out for a starting place in Qatar 2022 with goals in the most competitive European scenarios.
In that sense, Gerardo Martino had already decided to call Giménez as the third option in attack in the final roster for Qatar 2022. However, despite his great performances, it seems that the player will not be a starter in the team. All for an obscure reason.

It turns out that Santiago Giménez surprised everyone by grabbing a brace in his Europa League debut. In that sense, the former Cruz Azul striker would have secured a safe call-up with Mexico. However, one player is not entirely happy about the striker's presence.
What is the big problem with Giménez?
It turns out that the Mexican striker is not part of Guillermo Ochoa's inner circle and prefers other stars such as Henry Martin in the expedition to Qatar in November. On the other hand, Mexican TV stations are looking for the player to be revalued even more in order to take him to the World Cup. He is currently priced at around 15 million euros.
