It’s a difficult time for Santiago Gimenez at the moment, and not just because of the fact that he is struggling to score.
As Corriere della Sera (via AllMilan) report this morning, Massimiliano Allegri couldn’t contain his frustration with Gimenez during the draw with Pisa. The Rossoneri coach shouted at the striker: “Santiii, wake up… are you sleeping?”
Allegri’s comments come after a another strange performance from Gimenez, who appeared disoriented and at times isolated. Despite having had several big chances this season, the former Feyenoord player has not managed to find the back of the net yet in the league.
This is a significant problem considering that it means that Gimenez is still without a goal after eight Serie A games. His only goal so far this season has come in the Coppa Italia, against Lecce.
While Allegri clearly appreciated the hard work that Gimenez does and some of the things he brings off the ball, the currency that counts for a striker is goals, and it seems the coach might be running out of patience.
In fact, a report this morning from the same paper spoke about there being a potential signing in January, with three centre-forwards being monitored.
