We talked about this after the match with APOEL. We feel for AEL fans who saw Ochoa give away a goal to Apollon too…
In the second goal’s moment, his mistake is clear even from the photo above.
He was out of position, looking inexperienced. He basically kicked the ball into the net with his right foot.
Sure, Martins also has a role in managing the match. But when the goalkeeper isn’t reliable, it affects the Portuguese coach’s choices.
AEL’s game plan is wasted, and so are Ochoa’s teammates’ efforts…
We understand AEL fans who no longer buy management’s claim that they brought in the Mexican keeper for big financial gains. Many fans believe the cost of his poor play is even higher…
And they are absolutely right…
