This Goalkeeper Suddenly Becomes the GREATEST When He Plays For Mexico 🇲🇽 

Big thanks to Ridge for my awesome wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/raymar

Ochoa is a legend for the Mexican national team. He steps up when they need him to, it’s unfortunate he never replicated his greatness on a club level

His game against Brazil in the 2014 Brazil world cup will always be legendary.

Its crazy how big of a icon he became in Mexico. I’m sure almost 99% of Mexico knows the name Memo Ochoa.

For the last 10 years or so I have considered Ochoa the most impressive GK ever. He might not have the best stats, but his talent is so clear when watching him make the most clutch saves. Sadly he is quite underrated, he is my personal favorite

It's actually crazy how many times he was player of the season as a goalkeeper. One of the greats that never got a chance by a big club.

Finally! A very good explanation and details about Ochoa. Such underrated goalkeeper. Summary of the video. Ochoa is one of the best Goalkeeper, sadly he just never had the best line of defence in front of him which overshadow his performances.

Ochoa left his mark on the world stage. That is what matters . The streets will never forget

The way you described his career made me really appreciate him. In the Mexican media when he left to Europe he was seen as a goalie with no handling ability (always punching the ball out) and a failure since he never played in a big team and only time he did he couldn’t bench an aging Kameni. And they would only talk about his failures not his accomplishments. I didn’t know he was still seemed as MVP in those relegated or small teams. No he will be in my brain as the what if

Every time i watch a Mexico game, I'm always looking to Memo's performance the most. He's a big reason why goalkeeping was my favorite position to play, and I even modeled my play style around him. He's truly a legend, I'll miss seeing him play in the big stages where he belongs

The same could be said of Navas. Ask people to name one player from Costa Rica, and most people only know Navas and maybe Joel Campbell who played a few games for Arsenal. Without Keylor, the Costa Rica team wouldn't have made it to these many WC appearances. Even Neymar preferred Navas in goal to Donnaruma. BTW they all trained together at PSG, so he knows which keeper stops him the most.

man as someone from mexico, he is our savior. mexico wont be the same without him, wish he could perform once more in another world cup

Thank you for unfolding this amazing story. It looks like this goalkeeper deserves the recognition and I actually wasn't aware of him. I would love to hear more about unknown players that deserve more recognition! Keep up the good work. Love you raymar, love you Ochoa!

He was so good during 2008-2018 but after that he declined because of age which is normal. But he was a BEAST in the past 2 World Cups

Here in Mexico he's actually HATED by a lot of people for no real reason other than playing for a certain club or not being a literal brick wall. Very glad to see he gets the appreciation he deserves everywhere else :)

Oh man I wish you guys could've seen Ochoa play in his prime, his acrobatic saves were insane. Honestly never liked him at first because he played for America the one team everybody hates in Mexico but he won me over. I'm going to miss him when he retires. Legend.

I’ve been watching Ochoa since I was 6 yrs old and even as a young kid I loved him. I’m now 22 and it’s been a great pleasure watching this dude play for Mexico. (My dad is a club America fan so I would watch the games with him as a kid)

I had his jersey when i was 10, I’m 25 now and he’s still my goat 🇲🇽

In my early thirties and ochoa is easily the best world cup performer ive ever witnessed. Yes maybe there r players who had better individual game performances, but the way this guy has has managed to perform every game for multiple world cups in a row? Just insane. This guy has made every mexico game super hyped for me and many others simply cuz we wanted to see what he would do next. This guys is truly a legend, folklore worthy. And im sure that for many, especially mexicans, is one of those players that ppl will be telling their kids/grandkids about. And i honestly dont think that me exaggerating things.

5:26 just shows you how good Ochoa really could be outside the World Cup! Leave a like if you enjoyed and let me know what vid you want next 🙏 ❤

Ochoa is my favourite GK of WC, during WC he just reaches the highest peak of goalkeeping.

Im a Chivas fan (Ochoa's team's biggest rival) and I remember when i was a kid back in '06 watching the rivalry be even more intense to me because Ochoa and Chivas goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez were the two best mexican goalkeepers in that time, it was like Genzo vs Ken from captain tsubasa to me, great days

Raymar could you do a video on Rafa Marquez please and keep the mexico videos going?

I loved Ochoa since the first day I laid my eyes on him. His curly hair is such a striking feature of his. I remember watching him play in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and being amazed at how many times he caught the football.

As a Mexican fan of your channel, we appreciate this video 🇲🇽❤️. Still hurting from elimination so this helps 😢😂

Ochoa the only keeper that makes us celebrate goal blocks like goals

Im not gonna lie, the moment I saw Argentina was in a same group as Mexico, the first nightmarish thought i had was this guy being the reason Argentina wouldn't even make it pass the group stage. And that almost happened. It took The GOAT to score and then Mexico was slightly less impenetrable. This guy is truly a legend in the World Cup for the past decade. His spidey senses and acrobatics is one of the best. If he was born in Europe, he would 100% be a starter for some big club. Imagine if he had ball control training since young age + his natural gifted skills, he would be easily on par with Neuer, Casillas, Buffon, Cech, Van Der Sar, Cesar etc in my opinion.

Now he saved Salternitana and helped them stay in serie A and also got player of season voted by fans 😳

Funny how he kept a team alive for 3 seasons!!! That's crazy. He really is the main character 😂

I'm really glad you made a video on Ochoa, he is the best goalie when it comes to the WC. As a fellow Mexican, I've watched him play as a kid, started in the Liga MX and worked his way up to the national team

It’s kind of sad that he never played in one of the best leagues, one of the best talents getting wasted😞

One of the most underrated keepers of all time. His reflexes are alien at times.

The thrill of the save > The thrill of the win He's really doing what he loves.

I’m an American fan and there are few figures I fear more from our consistent rival, as well as few I respect more. World Cup Ochoa is truly magnificent

Ochoa the GOATkeeper of WC

Club America legend. Estadio Azteca legend. Mexican keeper legend. For those who didn't get to see him play in the mid to late 2010s, I feel bad for you. This dude pulled off some saves that even Buffon commented on. Incredible.

Honestly,pretty underrated keeper, the way he dives you know he’s good or as they say great wall of mexico😂

Memo was the reason I wanted to be a GK when I was a kid. 😢When he was in Malaga, I would tune in to his games to see if he was playing. I would be so mad when Kameni would start over him. I never knew he was voted player of season by the fans for the teams he played for in Europe. Thanks Raymar for this video, really made me tear up a little bit. As a Mexican, he was my idol when i was a kid. For the last few years he’s been in a decline, it made me forget how good he use to be. Thanks Memo for making me fall in love with the game

As a Mexican fan and Ochoa fan thank you so much for this amazing video I see so many people trying to misinform others and say Ochoa is a terrible keeper because of how much he got scored on and not stop and see that not all those goals were his fault and he was the reason that Ajaccio team was staying alive, I really appreciate the honesty in this video even the criticisms were completely true, keep up the great work and amazing vids

Although Ochoa never really made it onto the big stages he will forever be known as one of Mexicos greatest at least in my timeline, it was truly an honor to witness him play at his best moments.

I am anti-fan of Ochoa's former and current club, but anyone with an unbiased position knows he is simply an icon of modern and overall mexican football. Despite the rivalry, always respect to him, bad luck he did not played in 2010 WC

ive been watching ochoa since i was a small kid. it’s heartwarming to see him finally get the recognition he’s deserved, but sad knowing that mexico never gave him the squad he needed to win big

As a mexican american always rooting for 🇲🇽 in world cups......im really gonna miss him. Hope he gets to play at least 1 more WC 🙏. He will definitely be missed but age will catch up to us all unfortunately.

Ochoa is literally always there for us during World Cup games 🇲🇽

Love Ochoa prop. It’s a shame he never got that big move to Europe with a team that stuck with him. Mexican Legend. Every Mexican fan knows this was the year we could’ve made that fifth game, at least Tata is out now.

Along with the adjustment, or lack thereof, of not really becoming a sweeper keeper, one major thing left out of the video was the 2011 scandal of clenbuterol “doping” that him and 4 other Mexican players suffered around the time of that year’s Gold Cup. I think it impacted him the most because of the heavy rumored move to PSG. So he basically settled for Ajaccio. He was proven innocent after but still. If he would’ve made that move to PSG, I’m sure he either would’ve become a club legend or made a move to an even bigger club in Europe. Glad to see he at least got recognition around the world due to the World Cup. He’s more praised around the world than his own country, largely in part to coming from Mexico’s biggest and most hated club, Club América. Glad to have two pictures with him as I’ve followed him his entire career. Huge Club América and Mexican national team fan here.

ik this is like unbelievably but that’s my uncle (my moms 1st cousin) and it prides me so much seeing people talk about him so much as such a good player, i remember wanting to be just like him as a kid, wearing his number on my jersey as many times as i could in every sport i played.

I think the statistic that best describes Ochoa and just how great he is, is when you mentioned how he had the MOST goals conceded in a season BUT he also SAVED the most. It just shows how his talent is being overshadowed by not having the best teams (defense). He's always done everything he could as a goalkeeper in his position and it shows. He'll always be a top 3 goalkeeper of all time for me

Goatchoa, no keeper will ever be able to replace his brilliant saves on the biggest stage of world football again

Thank you for making this video, people never understood how incredible this guy is . He's one of my top 10 in the pass 10 years. Even with the modern tactical futbol, he still performed consistently compared to top names in the sport.

Guillermo Ochoa was a monster. Spectacular and fearless. I fell in love with him when time and time again he stepped up and defended his country's honor in the World Cup. Phenomenal Goalkeeper. Big ups to GO!

Never thought I’d see a Raymar video be specifically of Guillermo Ochoa. Thank you for making this video 🎉

Nice video, good content, accuratte data and well edited. Congrats and keep it up. If you think Ochoa is good, you should do one about Jorge Campos, the best GK in all Mexico's history, idol of Iker Casillas. He was a GK ahead of his time, no jokes. Plot Twist: He not only played as GK , but he also played as Forward and scored 46 goals. Sometimes he played half time as GK and another half time as FW. FIFA made a new rule on 1994's world cup because of him... forbidding the goalkepers to change positions during a game.

Just a quick correction at 5:40 - Right below Casillas is Rogério Ceni, who's also a goalkeeper (and who also has a pretty interesting trajectory and solid legacy among the brazilian scene).

He may never have gotten the chance he deserved team-wise but there's not a single goalkeeper i'd rather watch for 90 minutes straight. Memo for life

Raymar, I’m so glad you made this video, I want more people to know about this man and how legendary he is for us Mexican fans, thank you

The strongest keeper in the worst clubs. No one will ever know how beloved he could be if he was born in Spain or Argentina/Brazil

Despite of his age now, he is still underrated. I feel bad that Malaga didn't treat him well, making him like a missing person. If only he had chance to play bigger club and league, he would be the same level as Casillas and Cech.

I’m thankful for having had the time to take his story to a spotlight among your followers. He was when I was younger, is today and will always be my hero. The reason why I began to wear a pair of Nike gloves to this day. Thank you.

And now he’s BLOWING it up in Sería A!!! 🇲🇽

One of the best mexican goalkeepers of all time. Still a shame European clubs never gave him a proper chance

Bro Ochoa has always been a legend in Mexico. 😂he literally gets better with every year

Finally! A video that shows my favorite classic saves for one of my favorite keepers, is directed to an English language audience making him better known, plus explains his background and the reason why he’s well known for world cup performances but not much for club level and it’s simple, despite playing at Ligue 1, La Liga, and Serie A, he didn’t play in champions league clubs or teams with good defense. Just imagine if he did. He could’ve made better transfer or agent / manager decisions.

gracias por hacer este video para Mexico, amamos a Memo Ochoa ❤

Thank you for making this video! He's so underrated and this video is well deserved.

Great video! Here in Mexico 🇲🇽 the media roast the sh out of Ochoa when that must goals conceded record happened, but nobody recognize the must savings record. I think he has always been a victim of his teams (yes even the Mexican national team) and he taking the blame, such a good player.

Thank you for your great video! I'm happy he's getting recognized😊 his world cup performances are just insane😅

Great review Raymar. Please also make a video on Bounou, the Moroccan goalkeeper who single-handedly stopped Spain.

Id love to see an update with salernitana

Sad thing is he’s never been given a chance at a bigish club in Europe…. ☹️ he’s always played for lower table clubs even when he was in his prime…. I wish he got a chance at a club like ajax who need a keeper … but I guess he will always be just a wc legend 😔…

I'm so glad you mentioned 2014. That's why I remember him so well!!! I'm mixed with Mexican and remember being so amazed with him at the time. I think I was in Atlanta in that Mexican mall HAHAHA. Wish I remembered, but we all were on the edge of out seats watching the Dutch match

I think it’s great that you made this video about Ochoa he is a Mexican legend and Mexicans fans including myself love him. We appreciate this video keep up the great work always entertaining to watch your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

i remember seeing Ochoa play in the 2018 world cup and was shocked of how good he was, easily one of Mexicos greatest players

In Mexico many people hate on him. You even see other Mexican RU-vidrs criticize him a lot. He is a true legend for Mexican football and he has shown it. Those who criticize him are usually people who wanted their goalkeeper from their club to play such as Jesus Corona and Alfredo Talavera. Sure those goalkeepers are really good too, but to put them above Ochoa…yeah idk… I am glad there’s people like you and others around the world that recognize him for what he has done. Ochoa will forever be a legend whether some people think otherwise

i hugely respect that you like and respond to peoples comments. taking the time out your day even after all the editing and gathering the videos. awesome dude

Omg thanks for making this videos about Ochoa, it really means a lot for me and Mexicans.

Some people just play 10x better when the stakes are high and the pressure is on. Ochoa definitely is one of those players

Can you make a video about Jorge Campos too?

He is my inspiration & my role model. I started goalkeeping for him. He is everything for me.

Brother the way you express and know all the history. makes me happy because I watche him all my life when play in the tournament on Copa de clubes in Japan I would wake at 2 am just to watch ochoa

Hello Raymar, that's another awesome video! Ochoa is a really underrated goalkeeper and he should have had a transfer to a better club. I'm sure he'd be more remembered by the fans as a great goalkeeper because he is! Another idea for a video. If you want of course, you can do a video about Denmark winning the Euro back in 1994 and Greece winning the Euro back in 2004. That's only if you haven't made a video about them and only if you want to since making all of that research takes lots of time!

since his first world cup i was certain he will end up being the number 1 at one of the biggest clubs in the world. he is an outstanding goalkeeper ability wise. it must be some sort of outside of football problem because otherwise that should have happened for sure.

Good video, quite insightful 👌🏼

Ayyye!! You covered Ochoa! Hell yeah Raymar!

Great video, glad to see someone outside of Mexicans recognizes how great it has been watching him play. You should also make a video on Hugo Sanchez, he is definitely one of the most forgotten strikers, despite being one of the best of all time.

Ochoa getting snubbed for Oscar Perez to start in the 2010 WC was INSANE. Nevermind that they dragged Bofos corpse with them to start waaaaaay past his prime. But that coach had even more comedic choices that tournament that probably warrants a video 😂

Thanks for giving the spotlight to our keeper!

memoooooo. fell in love with him during the 2014 world cup. respect on his name, fantastic keeper

The GOAT of keepers

Ochoa will forever be a player I will miss watching not only at the World Cup, but for my national team. Mi Mexico will forever miss him ❤️😢🇲🇽

Ochoa was a star in 2009 and would have had a great World Cup in 2010 at the age of 25. One yr before that World Cup, Mexico re-hired the same coach from World Cup 2002. This coach called back his starting goalkeeper from 2002 to start in World Cup 2010. This goalkeeper was 37 and had not been called up by any other coaches since 2002. He ended up starting for Mexico in World Cup 2010 when I believe the world would have gotten to see Ochoa at a better age to atract better clubs. This decision was seen as a shock in Mexico because Ochoa was going through an impressive moment.

He’s always been a great goalkeeper just that in the World Cup everyone gets to witness how good he is

He also has one of the most successful Mexican youtube channels... It's called luisito comunica, he travels the world and do blogs about it

Honestly he played really well against Argentina🇦🇷 and they almost went to ro16

Que video perron!!! Coming from a Mejicano Americano!

he also star the "how i met your mother"

Ochoa’s legend will never die! Long live Memo! A true Goatkeeper🐐🇲🇽

Well deserved!! OCHOA a true legend in the sport and in that position!

He plays for the my boyhood’s arch Rivals America and we even love and respect him tremendously! He’s always been a joy to watch

Ochoa has a lot of potential as a young keeper. He was followed closely by Manchester United around 2008. Sadly, he never fixed some mistakes he would make. Somehow he transforms on the World Cup stage. At the club level he has mixed results. Yes he’s a good goal keeper but tends to make some childish mistakes at times
