MN: Effective change – Abraham and Gimenez’s numbers compared post-Como
Santiago Gimenez arrived in January as the big money striker AC Milan have been crying out for, but he has not been able to have the regular impact many would have hoped for just yet.
Signing a big money player in January is always a risk, and many believe that Milan should have made a move for Gimenez, or someone else for that matter, in the summer, allowing them to bed in during pre-season.
However, the Rossoneri did not do that.
So, the Mexican has been on the catch up and despite displaying his qualities on occasion, he has not hit the ground running in the way that everyone probably would have hoped so far.
A fantastic example of this was the game against Como, and Milan News have compared the numbers from the favoured Mexican against those of Tammy Abraham – who has regularly been questioned this season.
➤ Minutes played: 68-29 (Gimenez-Abraham)
➤ Assists: 0-1
➤ Ball touches: 18-11
➤ Duels (won): 7(2)- 4(2)
The expectations placed upon the former-Feyenoord man’s shoulders far surpass those on the shoulders of Abraham, and one game is not a suggestion that the club wasted money, far from it.
If anything, it is another reminder about why the business should probably have been conducted sooner, to allow the striker to fully enter the season properly, especially with suggestions he has been struggling to get up to his best level physically.
