What needs to be remembered is the biggest reason for Ochoa not signing with a top European club is him not having a European passport. He didn’t receive his European passport until after he left Belgium and went back to Mexico. Now that he has it, plenty of clubs will be wanting to sign him during the summer transfer window
@@FCMADRUGA most top teams don’t waste a foreigner spot on a GK, unless he’s a young top talent. That’s why his options were so limited. The Malaga move pretty much ruined his prime years
@@shockwavez3208 totally agree, should have gone to a team that would start him even if it was in maybe not as known as a Malaga, starting is so key when it comes to players getting big moves.
@@FredyJuarezLA because he’s not a FA, he re-signed with Salernitana. So if he were to leave to another club, they would have to pay Salernitana a fee. If he was a FA plenty of clubs would have wanted him since he would be free.
The last sentence you said is the most true sentence ever! “The World Cup is the only time everyone can se show he truly plays” that’s FACTS! Cause memo has been doing those saves every team he’s been in
Ochoa was a future talent. He was destined to be as big as casillas and Buffon. I was excited when I was young hoping for Ochoa to play for a big club. It never happened. We all have to admit that his best years are gone and it was unfair for Ochoa to never had played for a big club. A crime almost. McGuire bein a flop yet in a big club and Ochoa having high hopes to one day play for a big club :(
Seems very likely that Ochoa will be the starting goalkeeper in the 2026 World Cup for the following reasons: 1) He's the only Mexican goalie playing in Europe right now 2) Even at his age he's still taking his abilities to new levels, becoming Salernitana's best player of the season while only playing half a season is insane 3) Mexico doesn't have any young goalkeeper who could take Ochoa's starting position. The closest is Carlos Acevedo, who's really good, but nowhere near Ochoa
I agree with your points! if Mexico does not have a young goalkeeper playing for a huge European club, Memo will 100% be the best choice. His Last Dance. Thanks for commenting 🙏
@@FCMADRUGAso carlos acevedo is a good mexican goalkeeper but he plays in santos laguna in México and so much european clubs wanted him but mexican teams don’t want to export players to europe but ochoa still better
I live in Italy and the people love him here, and I'm not just talking of his club town. I live in Firenze and when I wear a Mexico jersey, Italians will stop me and say that Ochoa is such a great gk
Tottenham hotspur has actually listed Ochoa as a potential replacement to Loris. I hope it ends up happening because for a Mexican to end up in the premier league is so rare. The only one active as far as I know is Raul Jimenez 😞
Ochoa is a beast. So exciting to watch. I’d love to see him end up at arsenal. That guy just deserves a great European club team to take him. But watching him play for Club America is amazing.
Ocha should have been a starter with Mexico national team since 2006 world cup. He was that good since then. Shame that he started till 2014. It also sucks that all those European teams didnt value his gollie skills.
I’m young, and like Ochoa, I actually think I will be good at goalkeeper position. Everytime my friends make me player, it looks like I’m a bad sign for a club, but when I’m goalkeeper.. that’s when I block everytime.
that was on 2011, in 2010 the TD pf Mexico Javier Aguirre put him as a substitute in the tournament below Óscar Perez, a controversial decision that until know no one understand
Ochoa stopped Robert Lewandowski’s Penalty! And everyone who’s a fan of Ochoa KNEW, that shot was getting blocked. That’s how much of a savage Guillermo was
In an interview he mentioned how it was when the goalie from his team got a red card , when the coach asked who wanted to be goalie he’s the only one that raised his hand . He went on to block the PK and the rest is history .
You forgot to mention that Ochoa was put in UEFA's best starting 11 that week that he had that crazy game against Inter Milan. He was the best goalie in Europe that week/ had the best performance.
As someone that has always respected Ochoa, I didn’t even know all this about him. Definitely have a higher sense of respect for him, like a true Mexican un guerrero 💪🏽 blessed to have watched him throughout the years
Memo, has always been my choice of keepers overall…he is like the legendary Dino Zoff who only got better with age…he is good enough to play anywhere but we all know, coaches have their own personal favorites…🙏🏼⚽️❤️
I’ve been a fan since childhood when he first played at Club América 🇲🇽 if he had played at world class clubs he would’ve had a lot more success but it seems near relegation clubs is his motivation or maybe he wants to pull a Maradona at Napoli or Messi at Miami or maybe just bad agent moves ⚽️

Thats valid for after his time in Belgium, prior though he was able too and still only got signed for bottom table teams. Good point though!

@@Mariofernan69Spuds hasn't won trophies in 50 years why TF would a keeper change that? 😭
I've always liked Ochoa even though I didn't see many games with him playing, glad he gets recognition more and more as time goes by.
37 years old and still competing in the toughest position
And In a Top League. He’s a legend.
Courtious, Nuer, Lloris:
Am I a joke to you?
@@niksmusic1307we not talking about them broski
Let’s take a moment to appreciate this dude is American and said Mexico right and he said football
Thank you for recognizing 🤜🤛
Ochoa is truly a legend because he never gave up when he joined smaller teams he always helped smaller teams what a true team legend
Damn, back to back bangers , great job man!!
Most Underrated goalkeeper and he just recently just won the concacaf gold cup with mexico my favorite goalkeeper
me too
It was rigged
And and for Mexico it’s like they won the World Cup
How was it rigged
@@gokangoku1029it's always rigged
Needed this I grew up watching him since 05 for America, always said he never got a fair chance to play in Europe!
Agreed man, he was one of my hero’s, good to seem him making a comeback even at his age.
I saw America play in real life.
Ochoa has among the most saves and also the most scored on goalies. The guys sees a lot of the ball.
you underrated, for now. remember me when u go famous!
I’ll remember all the OG’s 🙏
Nah you deserve more followers, the production is crazy, you’ll get the recognition you deserve trust
Agree
Thank you! Appreciate it 🤜🤛
Hey man, your videos and music choices are fire, I love this video. Thanks for making it.
Thanks for watching 👍

Ochoa is the best Goal Keeper 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Man from Club América back in the day to now he has been such a reliable keeper it’s actually impressive.

@@_JustAGiganEarthFan_not best it's 🇮🇹
He was the best. He reached his peak in the 2014 World Cup; specially when he humiliated Neymar’s Brazil. After that he needed to retire.

I may be 100% american and follow the USA, but my god. Memo Ochoa is an absolute beast mode goalkeeper.
He’s an amazing keeper. Insane Reactions.
Ngl he's the 2nd best gk in concacaf, 1st being Navas ofc, but I do see turner making top 3 when he gets in his prime
Hell of vid bro! 😤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Appreciate it bro!
Its nice to see people giving Ochoa the recognition he deserves but most Mexico fans hate him sadly 🥲
We have a joke here in Brazil, in every 4 years we have presidential elections, the World Cup and Guillermo Ochoa he is very respected here.
Ochoa goat of mexico
That he is 🇲🇽
For me, he is the best goalkeeper ever.
He should be EMI Martinez’s replacement at Aston villa
Not a bad idea you got there
this deserves millions of views
Thank you!! 🙏
💯
The great Mexican wall !! 🇲🇽
Yes Sir!!
What really held him back from signing to psg in 2010 , was because of the clumbeterol test, and him testing positve because of meat
Imagine what could have been
Damn carne asada had steroids in it 😂

I’ve seen all kinds of different leagues and tournaments all around the world. This is the top five top three best goalkeeper of all times.
The fact that even tho he was a good goalkeeper he never wanted to become one, he has said it many times

Daddy chill 😂
Dadyyyyyyyyy
I wish I could watch him on my favorite team, one of the best goalkeepers to watch 😍
Ochoa, mexicos greatest goalkeeper of all time, and it's not even debatable
GOOAAALLLL!!!
Fun fact, Ochoa reduced his salary 10X from 4 million to 45k just so he could compete at a higher level in Europe. What a legend!
Underrated
Amazing story love Ochoa
Memo es el mejor portero 🇲🇽
Si !
Campos?
@@KRUZ201 creo k el memo hizo un gran impacto cuando la selección no estuvo tan fuerte
at 1:15 he shows a photo of young raul jimenez instead of ochoa lmaoo
Memo became a goalkeeper the same way I did
He need to win world cup
I agree
imagine he signs for real madrid this season after the cortois injury
ochoa was my inspiration when i was a goalkeeper
he easily would have been top 10 gk if he left mexico early
I love Ochoa he’s my gk idol
Guillermo Ochoa es el mejor
He is my idol 🎉🎉🎉
I still remember the first night he took over the goalkeeper position after Adolfo Rios injury.
Arriba el América 🦅☝️✊
People forget that Ochoa was supposed to go to Milan before going to Ajaccio
But had issues with his visa
No he was going to psg after Ajaccio during that time psg was just known for ronaldinho
@@diegomartinez1951 Im not talking about after I’m talking about before
That doping scandal incident killed his momentum
And it was all because of contaminated meat they ate in the concentration of the Mexican team
The “No Era Penal” is why I don’t respect Robben
He dived for the penalty
Ochoas agent was the real villain
For real.
Dam Ochoa
The best under-rated goal keeper wver
He’s a legend
Finally, somebody with a brain acknowledging the legend of Ochoa.
He took a road less traveled but he always makes the most of it. Phenomenal keeper 💯
Memoooooo
Ochoaaaaa
In an interview he mentioned how it was when the goalie from his team got a red card , when the coach asked who wanted to be goalie he’s the only one that raised his hand . He went on to block the PK and the rest is history .
My idol 😣
Una leyenda viva el memo
That’s my hero right there
He's perfectly rated as is.
Growing up I looked up to 4 goal keepers. Kasey Keller, Buffon, Ochoa, and Lloris
That’s a great list of goalkeepers man 💯
Imagine he ended up being a underrated attacking mid instead
You forgot to mention that Ochoa was put in UEFA's best starting 11 that week that he had that crazy game against Inter Milan. He was the best goalie in Europe that week/ had the best performance.
I wish he went to madrid
America came to America today
More weekly content coming! 🤘🏼
