Saint-Maximin’s Cryptic Post Fuels Questions at Club América After Pachuca Bench Role

Expectations tied to his transfer fee sharpen focus on a goal drought alongside shrinking minutes under André Jardine.

Overview

  • Following the scoreless draw with Pachuca, Allan Saint-Maximin posted, “Comprendí que no bastaba denunciar la injusticia, era necesario dar la vida para combatirla,” prompting wide interpretation of discontent.
  • Brian Rodríguez started on the left wing, and reports diverge on Saint-Maximin’s usage, with RÉCORD saying he came on around the 87th minute and Bolavip stating he did not play.
  • RÉCORD, citing reporter Alberto Bernard, reports the winger was unhappy upon learning in the prematch meeting that he would not start.
  • Coverage notes his role has diminished after opening the tournament as a starter, with his last goal for América recorded on November 2 against León.
  • Bolavip reports América paid about $12 million for his transfer and cites Diario Récord that his salary tops $4 million annually, while neither outlet reports an official club response as fans debate whether his message targets the staff or team results.
