A few weeks after starting a new stage - in his football career and in the 'Old Continent' - Guillermo Ochoa has already achieved his first awards with Salernitana of Serie A. The Mexican goalkeeper was honored as the MVP or "Most Valuable Player" of his team for January. Despite the scandalous eight-goal defeat, the goalkeeper made important saves that prevented his team from suffering further setbacks.
The leaders of the 'granata' team from the city of Salerno decided to reward the contribution that the Aztec has made to the European club during the first month of 2023, in recognition of his performances in the different matches he has played.
'Memo', during the matches he has played to date, has received good comments from the football critics of that country, being considered one of the best goalkeepers of the current season in the Italian first division tournament, despite the negative results.
The mentioned award was given to him by the management prior to the home match against Juventus Turin. "Pasquale Lamura, CEO of the DFL Lamura group, awarded Guillermo Ochoa as MVP of the month of January," reported the official Salernitana Twitter account.
The award comes at a crucial moment, providing more motivation for the goalkeeper to continue standing out with his performances. And thus, contribute from his position to his teammates, taking into account that the team is fighting to get out of the bottom places.
Guillermo's contract with his current team is only six months, but the intention is to extend his activity until 2026, as he aims to try to maintain his highest level until the 2026 World Cup. Quite a challenge, since by that time he will be 41 years old.
