RSL coach Freddy Juarez responded to Heath’s comments in his post-match presser.
“No comment, everyone’s fired up right now. We’re all competitive and everyone has a right to their own opinion I thought Ochoa had a pretty good game. He’s still developing in many ways, he’s a young adult and we’ll continue to groom him and help him in his career.”
But Minnesota United defender Michael Boxall shared his coach’s lack of amusement at Ochoa’s actions.
“I mean, he’s actually a bit of a clown like within the 90 minutes before and then decides to top it off with that which is pretty disrespectful, I think,” Boxall said. “I mean, I don’t know if it’s his first time out on the field or just doesn’t seem like he knows how to behave and I think we wanted to let him know. Yeah, he’s just a bit of a clown, you can tell him I said that.”
Boxall will get that chance when the teams meet again May 29 at Rio Tinto Stadium.
