"First and foremost, he's a fantastic person. Really kind, mixes with everyone. As a footballer, he was on fire at Feyenoord, scoring a lot of goals. When he came to Milan, it is a club that means so much to him. From my personal point of view, perhaps he was trying a little bit too hard, where things weren't coming as naturally, as they did at Feyenoord, because of that."
"For him, he deserves it, he works hard and did extra every day, in the gym and on the training field. As strikers, all you need is one goal, and when that comes more do. He just needs to keep working hard on and off the field. I'm sure that we'll see the Gimenez that was at Feyenoord, that's for sure, no doubt about it."
Santiago Gimenez and a fellow arrival joined AC Milan in the same mercato nearly twelve months ago. Gimenez carries massive performance pressure and additional personal pressure from identifying as a Milanista. He has not scored in five months, with his last Serie A goals coming against Bologna in May. Observers highlight his prolific Feyenoord scoring, consistent extra work in the gym and on the training field, and a belief that one goal can restore confidence and lead to more. Playing style comparisons place him close to Julian Alvarez: technical, not purely direct, and a willing runner rather than a traditional No.9.
