Mexican goalkeeper: “When the opportunity to play in the Italian Serie A came up, I couldn’t say no.”

Guillermo Ochoa introduced himself as Salernitana’s new goalkeeper: “When the possibility of playing in the Italian Serie A presented itself, I could not say no. The sporting director explained to me what Salernitana’s project is in the medium to long term and I immediately felt involved. I had other solutions to continue my experience in other countries and in other leagues, but as soon as the World Cup was over I felt the desire to marry an ambitious, interesting project,” are the words of the Mexican extreme defender.

The environmental factor was decisive for his choice: “That of the fans is a subject that enchants me, I know that our curve is as warm as the Mexican one. When we started the negotiation I immediately thought of the warmth of the Granata crowd. Those who come from the American continent need to be dragged by the people.”

He starts right away with AC Milan: “I’m happy to make my debut against an international level opponent like Milan. We really want to start the year well, but in our stadium we can take a lot of satisfaction. I’m playing in the best league in the world, I’m very happy to wear the granata jersey.”
