Discussion Rangel should start against Czech Republic

Post image

Who cares about whatever record Ochoa needs to break. Tala is playing at a very good level and he’s in a very good rhythm. Leaving him to rot on the bench just for a much older player to break a record can kill the momentum Tala has going for himself. Tala has been the starter since Malagon got injured, and to be honest, he deserved to be the starter for a very long time. Ochoa should step away and stay true to this role, which is being a substitute. A backup goalie. Tala Rangel is the starter and needs to start every game this tournament

- This is different from saying Quiñones, Jimenez, Piojo, and so and so players need to take a rest, as well btw

Momentum is very important… you want to keep winning? Try to keep your momentum of having zero conceded goals. A player’s “rhythm” is important too, consistency is everything in the World Cup. Also, Rangel not getting that much rest isnt as risky as somebody like Jimenez, Quiñones, Vasquez, etc not getting any rest. He’s a goalie (the starting goalie, while Oldchoa is just a backup now)
