The reaction of the Argentine press after seeing Acevedo as a starter and not Memo Ochoa
Ochoa did not start against Paraguay and Argentine press reacted to his absence.
The Mexican national team faced Paraguay in a friendly prior to the 2022 World Cup. A match where Martino was able to evaluate elements of Liga MX and something that was surprising was the absence of Guillermo Ochoa and the starting lineup of Carlos Acevedo.
It is all due to the fact that the Club America goalkeeper had asked Gerardo Martino for a rest and to be able to resolve his contractual situation with his team, with whom they have not renewed yet. That is why the Argentinean decided to put the goalkeeper of Santos, Acevedo.
