Ochoa preferred to leave, America player who angered Memo against Chelsea

Chelsea and Club America faced each other in a friendly match held in Chicago. The Mexican goalkeeper remained on the field for about 30 minutes and even received a standing ovation when he left. However, his exit could have been due to discontent against one of his teammates who made a blunder by giving the ball away in midfield.

It turns out that in one of America's attacks, Jurgen Damm made a bad start and gave the ball to the English team in the middle of the field. From there, a dangerous play was triggered that could have ended in a goal against Chelsea FC.

Although the Mexican goalkeeper's reaction was opportune to prevent a goal from being scored, when he got up from the pitch his discomfort was very noticeable. The scolding came for the newcomer Damm and made him aware of his mistake. Something that almost cost America the first goal.

Why did Ortiz take Ochoa off?

According to TUDN, Fernando Ortiz's decision to take Guillermo Ochoa off after 30 minutes of the game was a matter of rest and to see what elements he could use during the Apertura 2022. As he said at the press conference, his priority is to face the next opponent, Tijuana.
