Miguel Herrera and Guillermo Ochoa are on the verge of having a great fight. On several occasions, the goalkeeper from America told Herrera that he did not agree with his way of working and threatened to leave America for another Liga MX team. The problem with Herrera started when Ochoa had an argument with the goalkeeping coach who is a relative of America's coach.

America has the possibility of qualifying directly for the final phase of Liga MX and for that it must win its match against Tigres. Herrera knows that Tigres is a very offensive team and that they can hurt him at any time, which is why he had doubts whether Ochoa or Jimenez would be in the goalkeeper position.

The decision was not made by himself since Ochoa would have approached Herrera and told him that he was the one who had to stop and that if he didn't he could leave the club. This warning from Ochoa would have been what Herrera needed to decide on Memo for the match against Tigres. Jimenez had good performances but the experience weighed more.

America needs to win and in these types of games you need an experienced player for the goalkeeper position. Although he is returning from an injury, Ochoa has been saving at the highest level for more than 15 years and has played hundreds of these games. Likewise, Herrera knows that if Ochoa has a bad game, he will be able to remove him from the team for the remainder of the season and that Jimenez enter.
