Guillermo Ochoa’s roller coaster international career continued against Venezuela on Tuesday as he took another turn.<\/p>\n

The only question is whether he went into a peak or a valley.<\/p>\n

Ochoa played for the first time under manager Jose Manuel De La Torre. Venezuela scored an equalizer late in the second half as Mexico and Venezuela tied 1-1.<\/p>\n

“Personally, I’m happy to have played,” Ochoa told reporters. “I did things the right way. I’m fine.”<\/p>\n

Ochoa was a key part of Mexico’s World Cup qualifying campaign in 2009 anhd seemed destined to be the starter in South Africa, but was an unused substitute in all four games Mexico played last summer. He was not called up by De La Torre in February and did not play against Paraguay on Saturday, but earned the start against Venezuela in San Diego.<\/p>\n

Critics, though, came out en masse after the goal, questioning if Ochoa could have done better to stop the equalizer. On the play, Yohandry Orozco hit a well-placed corner kick to the front of the goal. Oswaldo Vizcarrondo charged towards the goal and buried a header past Ochoa, who had come off his line to try and knock the ball away.<\/p>\n

“You always try and stop the plays and when I saw him come in alone, that’s what I tried to do,” he said. “If I wouldn’t have come out, people would have wanted to know why I didn’t come out. That’s how soccer is, and more so in goal.”<\/p>\n

Still, the goal did little to dampen his spirts and his hopes. Ochoa made a pair of diving saves earlier in the second half to keep Venezuela scoreless, and ultimately hopes his performance was enough to earn him some playing time for Mexico in the summer.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to be at the Gold Cup and Copa America,” Ochoa said. “The manager decides but I’ll raise my hand to play for my country.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
