Lozano's continuity questioned

Guillermo Ochoa also spoke about the Aztec DT, Jaime Lozano and whether or not he should continue in charge of the national team.
"Jaime has always been ready. The decision is out of our hands and what the national team needs right now is calm and tranquility to be able to build. Sometimes there is a lot of noise that prevents us from being able to build," he continued.

He remains firm

Guillermo Ochoa does not intend to give way to the critics who want a new goalkeeper for El Tri and believes he still has a lot to contribute.
"I love wearing the national team jersey. The road for me to become a starter was not easy either. There were tournaments where I didn't play, I had coaches who didn't call me up, there were World Cups I had to play in and they didn't put me in. It was never easy for me and I was always asked to give more personally and in sports. Nobody has given it to me and as long as I can continue to contribute to the National Team, I will not give up or step aside. At the moment, I feel capable and happy to be here," he commented at the conference prior to the Gold Cup final.
