Alfredo Talavera (born September 18, 1982 in La Barca , Jalisco ) is a Mexican football player on the position of goalkeeper .

Life

society

Talavera began his career at Club Deportivo Guadalajara , for which he made his debut in the Mexican Primera División on August 24, 2003 in a game at CF Pachuca (0-2).

Because he regularly played in the Tapatío branch team in the first few years at Guadalajara and was only used when the regular and national goalkeeper Oswaldo Sánchez was unable to play and he was replaced by Luis Ernesto Michel after his departure in the summer of 2006 , Talavera brought it in his five years with Guadalajara only to a total of 21 appearances in the games for the Mexican football championship.

Therefore, he moved to the Tigres de la UANL for the 2008/09 season , where he only came to two missions behind the former (and for the 2010 World Cup once again appointed) national goalkeeper Óscar Pérez Rojas .

He has been under contract with Deportivo Toluca FC since the summer of 2009 , where he quickly replaced the previous goalkeeper Hernán Cristante and has been a regular goalkeeper ever since.

He made his debut for Toluca in the Primera División on July 26, 2009 against his former club Chivas Guadalajara, who were defeated 4: 3 in a high-scoring encounter by a late goal from his new team-mate Israel López (in the fifth minute of stoppage time) could.

In his first season with Toluca in 2009/10 , Talavera won the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario championship - for the second time after 2006, when he was part of the Chivas championship squad but was completely without commitment in this triumph . With this success he played all 23 games of the Diablos Rojos and held the final and decisive penalty from Fernando Arce in the final against Santos Laguna , which had to be decided after two draws on penalties , whereby his team won 4-3.

National team

In 2011 Talavera was appointed to the Mexican national team for the first time and already completed nine missions in the first year of his membership in "El Tri", eight of them over the full distance.

The highlight of his national team career so far was his participation in the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2011 , for which he was actually only appointed as a substitute goalkeeper for Guillermo Ochoa . But after Ochoa had played the opening game against El Salvador (5-0), he led a player revolt and was thrown out of the squad. From then on, Talavera was allowed to guard the goal of the national team, who won the final against the team with further victories over Cuba (5: 0), Costa Rica (4: 1), Guatemala (2: 1) and Honduras (2: 0 a.d.) Host USA reached, which were won 4-2.
