Santiago Gimenez has once again stressed that he had no desire to leave AC Milan, and believes his goal could lead to more.
Milan did what they had to do at San Siro tonight as they eased past Lecce, winning 3-0 in the end to reach the last 16 of the Coppa Italia. Jamil Siebert’s early red card certainly helped, and Gimenez got the opener not long after that happened, firing in a lovely Davide Bartesaghi cross.
It is a goal that should silence a lot of the external noise surrounding the Mexican for a short while at least. After all the summer transfer speculation the missed chances were not helping his cause, and yet the hope is that the goal will be the first of many this season.
‘Never considered leaving’
Gimenez spoke to Mediaset after the game to share his emotions after getting the duck off his back, and his comments are via MilanNews.
Finally, a goal!
“A striker has to score goals. In recent games, it didn’t come despite having plenty of chances. But with this goal, more can come.”
The last few hours of the window seemed frantic…
“As a kid, I dreamed of playing here at Milan. I wanted to stay, but thank God I’m here and playing for the team of my dreams. Since the first second, I’ve never considered leaving this team.”
