The issue of Guillermo Ochoa and his recent 30-minute starts in Club America's last few games drew attention. Against Chelsea and Manchester City, the goalkeeper did not complete the match. Many will think that this is due to not exposing him to injury, but there is an ego issue involved.

It is important to remember the recent friendly match of the Mexican national team against Uruguay. It turns out that the FMF and Televisa protected Ochoa in the game against the Charrúas. The top officials knew that the South American team was going to be beaten by the Uruguayan team and therefore decided to sacrifice Alfredo Talavera. Once the first goal was scored against Manchester City, the goalkeeper was quickly substituted.

Why is Ochoa's image protected?

It turns out that it is not attractive for any national team goalkeeper to get beaten during a friendly match. It is a situation that is bad for FMF officials, as Ochoa is an important media asset and a magnet for sponsors for the team.
