Statements from the Rossoneri bomber. Here’s what he said to the microphones of Corriere della Sera: the bottom line
Gimenez a cuore aperto: “Mi hanno diagnosticato una trombosi. Ecco la mia missione” (LaPresse) – MilanLive.it
In Milan’s future there will certainly still be him, Santi Gimenez. Milan invested so much to get him from Feyenoord. His start was not exactly devastating, but not to be rejected either. Then again, three goals and two assists have come, but the Diavolo still needs more.
In this season finale, his goals will be crucial to succeeding. Already against Napoli a win will be needed to stay clinging to the Champions dream, and Gimenez, despite the many rumors about some physical problems, will be there: “Everything’s fine, I’m fine. On Sunday in Napoli I will be there – the bomber immediately states to Corriere della Sera – Winning helps to win. Now, however, I want a title with Milan. I’m here for that. I scored many goals at Feyenoord. It’s time to start scoring them with Milan as well. “.
One goal for the Mexican center forward, fresh from his success with his national team: “Now I want to do what I came for. The goals will come, I’m sure. The important thing, however, is to win, as has happened in the last two games,” Gimenez reiterates. “If Rafa (Leao, ed.) or Christian (Pulisic, ed.) or another teammate scores, it’s the same. With Conceicao we are working hard. We are not happy with the ranking. But it is not over yet. We believe in it. Changes are always a bit complicated. I’m still not at my level. But I’m growing, I’m getting to know the opponents, the teams. There is great pressure here. And it’s beautiful. I know I can do it. Also thanks to Diòs’ hand.”

Speaking of God, a fundamental aspect of Gimenez’s life, comes the revelation, which not all Milan fans know about: “When I was 17 years old I was diagnosed with thrombosis in my arm,” explained the Mexican. “I had three operations, I was stationary for six months. At one point the doctors told me clearly that if the last test did not go well I would have to stop soccer. That was where I met Diós in my life. I prayed that he would not end my dream of becoming a soccer player. Everything went well.”
What ‘Soldado de Cristo’ means “There is a passage in the Bible that talks about the armor of God. The shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. It is a passage that I love. I am here to fulfill its purpose. First of all as a man, then as a fùtbolist. It is my mission.”
The article Gimenez open-hearted: “I’ve been diagnosed with thrombosis. Here is my mission” was written and published in its original version on Milanlive.it.
