The post Why Memo Ochoa isn\u2019t Mexico’s first pick for Copa America<\/a> appeared first on 433Futbol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As they say, expect the unexpected, especially when a team is in flux. Memo Ochoa has been cut from the Mexican national team. Apparently, the player and coaching staff came to a common agreement. <\/p>\n

For a decade, Ochoa served as Mexico<\/a>‘s starting goalkeeper while also becoming El Tri’s third-most-capped player. But his international resume is put on hold, at least for this summer’s Copa America<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Is Ochoa’s time with the Mexican National Team finished?<\/h4>\n

Ochoa faced a poor start to his campaign at Serie A club US Salernitana 1919 this season. In fact, he lost the starting job last February for the to-be relegated side. But no one doubts that Ochoa is on a magical level when it comes to international tournaments. He won Best Mexican Player in the 2018 World Cup<\/a> and was the first Mexican nominated for the Ballon d’Or in 2007.<\/p>\n

However, El Tri boss Jaime Lozano is preparing his side for the long run, aka World Cup 2026, and needs to build the future now. Luis Malagon of Club America (27 caps) will get the starting nod, followed by backups Juilo Gonzalez and Tala Rangel. It’s strange to see Ochoa not even on the list, as a backup!<\/p>\n
