"The more that the games tick by, the more that Santiago Gimenez's lack of goals is becoming a big issue for AC Milan. La Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning that Gimenez has been in a tunnel for a couple of games, and now the more he runs, the deeper he digs. The impression that he is giving night by night is that he is getting worse, so much so that one has to question whether he needs a break."
"For Milan, he's a major exception. Massimiliano Allegri defended him after the game: "Santiago is an important player for Milan. He's giving us a huge boost defensively, he's giving his all, he works hard for the team. I'm very happy. I'm convinced he needs to focus on his work, and the goals will come. Together, we can only move forward.""
Santiago Gimenez has failed to score in nine league games, eight of them as a starter, creating growing concern at AC Milan. He did score in the Coppa Italia and for his national team, but league goals remain absent. Early-season chances and a penalty against Fiorentina offered hope, yet recent matches against Pisa and Atalanta showed a lack of danger and signs of psychological struggle. Massimiliano Allegri praises Gimenez's defensive contribution and work rate and expects goals to come. Milan's playing style, with more crosses and limited sustained pressure in the box, also reduces his scoring opportunities and may prompt lineup changes.
