Santiago Gimenez is called to be the starting center forward of the Mexican National Team in the 2026 World Cup, for which he received the full support of technical director Jaime Lozano after missing the penalty against Australia that could have represented the partial 1-1 on the scoreboard.
“Santi is young, although it is a reality and he is triumphing in an important league in the world, he is still very young. Surely he will continue to grow, surely he will continue to bring a lot of joy to his club and the National Team,” said the strategist of the tricolor team in a press conference at the end of the match.
“Today I don’t think he had a bad game, he simply missed a penalty. Look, if I had scored the goal I’m sure the game would have been totally different. It is football, the important thing is to move forward, learn from the draws and when the defeats come, the same thing,” he added.

HAS JAIME LOZANO ALREADY DEFINED A PENALTY TAKER IN THE MEXICAN NATIONAL TEAM?
And to make matters worse for the Feyenoord forward, who did not fail from the 11th step was Raúl Jiménez, the veteran of a thousand battles in El Tri who could snatch the title from him under the orders of Jaime Lozano.
However, the Mexico coach assured that he does not work with a defined penalty taker and, on the contrary, he trusts in the safety of his players from the spot.
“Normally I like that the player who has the confidence and practices is the one who stands in front of the ball. I don’t like to put a collector as such,” he acknowledged.
“The one who doesn’t shoot is the one who doesn’t fail, yes it is the second time (Santiago Gimenez) has failed in the National Team but he had been scoring eight in a row in his club and I like that personality. I just told him this ‘just as you practically gave us a Cup a few days ago, today you have to fail but the team supported you’. If one has a problem here, it is everyone’s problem and we are going to stand up for each of our colleagues,” added ‘Jimmy’.
