“Unfortunately in South America they play international matches as late as possible”

The international break has arrived for many Feyenoord players. Just like the previous break, Santiago Giménez will be one of the returnees for Rotterdam. “Unfortunately, in South America they have a habit of playing as many matches as possible at the end of the international break,” his coach Arne Slott told Algemeen Tagblad.

The Mexican said he played one of his worst games since the previous international break due to jet lag in a Rotterdam shirt. “Finally I couldn’t sleep before the next Feyenoord match due to jetlag, and when I came back on Friday, I was up in the middle of the night. I was tired and then I played one of my worst matches. The great thing is that the boys understood and they helped me. That’s also Feyenoord’s strength. I’m still Scored. Now I’m going to see how I can improve my sleep,” the attacker said in conversation. telegram.

The Feyenoord striker is very popular in both the Netherlands and his native Mexico. “You know what’s funny? I don’t understand what’s being said about me in the shows here, what’s written about me. I can’t understand it or read it. Of course it’s going well, I’m part of it. It’s a great team and our fans are great. But in Mexico “I follow everything they say or write about me. There’s a lot of attention for me,” Gimenez said.

Gimenez has scored a club record 12 goals in his first 8 league games. Slott isn’t immediately afraid of losing his top scorer for the winter. “Scoring like that, there will be interest. But I would be surprised if Santi doesn’t think very carefully about his next step. Especially if you talk about leaving during the winter break. But to all the clubs in the Netherlands: you can bring undeniable amounts to the table. The absolute top on your doorstep. “To get, I think you have to score in the Champions League, and that hasn’t happened yet, after all, he hasn’t played yet because of the suspension.”
