Despite being far from being considered an idol of Cruz Azul, Santiago Giménez is a soccer player much loved by cement fans. In different interviews, the Feyenoord and Mexican National Team striker has always emphasized the love he feels for this institution. In a recent interview, “Bebote” stated categorically that he would never play with Club América, the Celeste Machine’s greatest rival.
In the conversation with Gabriel Montiel ‘Werevertumorro’, Santi Giménez talked about various aspects of both his personal life and his professional career. When questioned about the historic win that the Eagles gave Cruz Azul on matchday 10 of the Liga MX Apertura 2022 tournament, the 21-year-old scorer commented on his reaction to the 7-0 score at the Stadium Aztec.
Santiago Giménez reported that he could not watch the match between the Eagles and the Machine because it was broadcast at 4 in the morning in the Netherlands and he had training the next day. However, his girlfriend, Fer Serrano, woke him up saying: “No, it can’t be.” The “Bebote” was scared and thought that something bad had happened to someone close to him when he heard the screams of his partner.
The Feyenoord striker asked his girlfriend to tell him what was going on and she replied: “Cruz Azul lost!” When he found out about the score, Santi Giménez reported that he was “frozen” and that he could not believe it.
“It was very sad for me because I’ve been a Azul fan since I was a child… and even more so against America”
