Marco Silva Praises Raul Jimenez After Historic Brace

Fulham manager Marco Silva praises Raul Jimenez after the striker becomes the highest-scoring Mexican in Premier League history with a brace against Ipswich.

Fulham manager Marco Silva expressed his delight for Raul Jimenez after the striker's impressive brace against Ipswich on Sunday. Jimenez's goals helped Fulham come from behind twice to secure a draw, and Silva was eager to praise the striker's achievement.

Silva heaped praise on Jimenez, who made history over the weekend by becoming the highest-scoring Mexican in Premier League history. The 33-year-old centre forward's impressive performance was a testament to his skill and dedication, and Silva was pleased to see him reach this milestone.

Raul Jimenez scored a brace in Fulham's 2-2 draw against Ipswich Town at Craven Cottage on Sunday, etching his name in the record books as the highest-scoring Mexican in Premier League history. Fulham manager Marco Silva was beaming with pride as he praised Jimenez's achievement in his post-match press conference.

“It's an incredible achievement,” Silva said, highlighting the significance of Jimenez's milestone. “I'm really pleased for him because we all know he had a really bad moment (with his head injury), not just in his career but in his life.” Silva also acknowledged the challenges Jimenez faced before joining Fulham, saying, “He was really down when we signed him, but we showed trust in him and it's paying off.”

“The first two or three months at the club, he was not scoring and everyone was asking why we took the decision to bring him into the football club. We kept trusting him, he kept working really hard and it’s so nice to see him achieve an incredible number.

“It’s an honour for him to achieve these numbers and he will be in Premier League history for many, many years. Let’s hope there’s much more to come from him and I’m here to help him.

“It’s not just the goals today. The way he won fouls; the way he was always there to help the team. We changed his position in the second-half and he did really well. Let’s hope he can get even more confidence in the future.”
