He preferred another team over Argentina, now they treat him badly and he will miss the World Cup.

The World Cup in Qatar is getting more and more close and the debut of the Argentine team against Saudi Arabia will be on November 22. Now, a player who decided to leave the country and thought it would be easier to go to a Concacaf team, will be left out of the long-awaited Cup.

He gave up playing with Lionel Messi and is sadly now paying dearly for it. We are talking about Santiago Giménez. The Argentine striker, who is known for being son of 'Chaco Giménez', a former Boca Juniors player, who decided a few years ago to represent Mexico at an international level.

However, he received a low blow from Gerardo Martino, current coach of the Tri, since he will not call him for the appointment that starts on November 20, with the match between Qatar and Ecuador. 

After standing out at Cruz Azul, Giménez was signed by the Dutch Feyenoord. Although he is not the undisputed starter, he has six goals between the Eredivisie and Europa League. Despite his credentials, 'Tata' ignored him by saying that despite his goalscoring instinct, he lacks continuity in the Old Continent. 

Another Argentine-born player takes Giménez's job: 

While Giménez does not have the support of Martino, Rogelio Funes Mori, a former River Plate player, who obtained his Mexican nationality in 2021, will go to the World Cup in Qatar. Although the man born in Mendoza does not have the sympathy of the majority of Aztec fans, he has the absolute support of "Tata". The striker represented the Albiceleste in a South American Sub 20 and played a friendly with the senior team.
