As Mexico prepares for its high-stakes Nations League Semifinal against Canada this Thursday, all signs point to Raúl Jiménez leading the attack.
Manager Javier Aguirre has yet to confirm his starting striker, but with Santiago Giménez struggling for goals at AC Milan, Jiménez—currently in better form—appears to have the edge. However, Aguirre has hinted at the possibility of using both forwards together.
Giménez Embraces the Competition
Despite his recent six-match goal drought, Giménez remains positive about the battle for a starting spot.
“No pressure. The competition makes you perform at a higher level. We all want to be in the starting XI, but it’s the coach’s decision.”
The Fulham striker and AC Milan star share a healthy rivalry, with Giménez even comparing their competition to the legendary Messi vs. Ronaldo dynamic.
Mexico’s Recent Struggles Against Canada
El Tri enters the clash on a three-match winless streak against Canada, a stark contrast to their previous five consecutive victories over the Reds.
