He refused to play with Messi, he regrets it and would ask for an opportunity after Qatar

The World Cup in Qatar is getting closer and the Argentine team is focused on making history in the Middle East. Now, a player who refused to represent the Albiceleste and thought it would be easier to get to the appointment with another country, is sorry and would ask Lionel Scaloni for an opportunity after the tournament that will take place from November 20 to December 18.

This is Santiago Gimenez. The striker born in Argentina resigned years ago from the current Copa América champion and decided to represent Mexico. Although he dreamed of being in the World Cup in Qatar, Gerardo Martino left him out of the competition, despite the fact that he stands out in the Netherlands with the Feyenoord shirt.

They said that they would lack chemistry, the best duo that Messi has found, it's not De Paul

The son of 'Chaco' Giménez, former footballer, had the unique opportunity to wear the Argentina shirt when Fernando Batista sought him out to be present at the Olympic Games when he was younger. It was a huge opportunity, as he could've played alongside Lionel Messi.

However, he thought that he would have better opportunities in the Tri and he was left without going to the most important event at the national team level. He of course, now regrets it, as Raul Jimenez and Funes Mori were chosen over him, although it angered Mexican fans.

Could Gimenez represent the Argentine team?

After the low blow they gave him in Mexico, it would not be unreasonable to think that he wants to say goodbye to El Tri and look for an opportunity with the Argentine team after the World Cup in Qatar. Although he has already played friendlies with the Concacaf team, he is still eligible if Lionel Scaloni deems it necessary.
