Guillermo Ochoa He is still on the radar of the Mexican team and is still a footballer candidate to be in the 2026 World Cup. At 40 years old, “Memo” is fighting to be in the World Cup. Oribe Peralta was questioned about this possibility and suggested that He is not comfortable with his call in place of some young footballer.
“Memo” remains active with AEL Limassol in the first division of Cyprus football. Guillermo Ochoa has been a constant in the Cypriot team, despite some recent errors that have been pointed out. Oribe Peralta was questioned about the possible call for “Memo”. Peralta gave his own experience as an example.

Memo Ocho COMMITS THE BEAR OF THE YEARLook at the second goal they score, INCREDIBLE.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to think that with that level he can compete to be the starter of the national team.

“In my experience, I said that when If I were not fit to be summoned and did not complete all the processes, I would say no.After 2026 I said, I’m not going anymore, I won’t get to the next process,” Peralta said in an interview with ESPN.
One of the main arguments supporting Guillermo Ochoa’s call to the World Cup is his experience with El Tri. “Memo” has defended the Mexican goal for more than 100 games and has been Mexico’s starting goalkeeper in its last 11 World Cup matches. Despite this, Peralta is committed to young people.
“I prefer a young man to go in my placewhich I know is going to complete those four years of process, but that is a deepest decision, at the end of the day, If he is eligible for the National Team and Javier wants to take him, it is his decision, I am not the coach“said the former América and Chivas soccer player.
Oribe Peralta, if he were the coach of the Mexican team, I would give Raúl Rangel the opportunity. The Chivas de Guadalajara goalkeeper has been fashioned in Javier Aguirre’s calls. “Tala” has had good performances in the recent matches of the Mexican team.
“If I were the coach, I would take Tala because at the end of the day I prefer the young people who are going to give me in future yearsgain experience,” he concluded.
