Guillermo Ochoa has not had a great season both with Mexico and with Salernitana, which has led fans to criticize him. However, there are some people who think he’s a legend, and Fabrizio Romano is one of those.
In Mexican soccer, Ochoa is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history. He has had a remarkable career, largely due to his outstanding performances in the FIFA World Cup.
However, some fans hold the belief that he’s not performing well. Recently, he has faced challenges in maintaining the same level of dominance seen earlier in his career, drawing huge criticism from analysts and fans for his performances.

Salernitana currently sits at the bottom of Serie A with 14 points, consisting of two wins, eight draws, and 19 losses. If this trend persists, Ochoa would face relegation for the third time in his European career.
Following his poor form, the goalkeeper has decided to depart from Salernitana at the end of the season. Fabrizio Romano initially reported the news on X, prompting numerous fans to respond to his post with judgments of Ochoa.
On X, a fan quoted Romano’s post, saying that Ochoa was not a legend. “You don’t even have the courage to put your face and name on Twitter,” Romano answered. “Imagine playing in five World Cups from 2006 to 2022… and you talk about legendary, you.”
