Mexico’s 3-0 friendly defeat to the United States has brought an unusually personal assessment from Cristian “Chaco” Giménez, the former Argentina-born footballer and father of Mexico forward Santiago Giménez.
Cristian Giménez questioned Santiago’s performance for the national team after the loss, directing criticism at his son following a difficult night for Mexico against their regional rivals.
The comments come after Mexico were beaten by three goals in the friendly, a result that again placed the side’s attacking display under scrutiny. Santiago Giménez, who has become one of Mexico’s leading forward options, was among those assessed in the aftermath by his father.
For Cristian Giménez, the verdict was not softened by the family connection. The former player openly challenged his son’s contribution in Mexico colours after the defeat to the United States.
