Sergio Ramón Rochet Álvarez (born 23 March 1993) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Internacional^[2] and the Uruguay national team.

Club career

Rochet started his career with Danubio with whom he made no appearances.

In April 2014, he went to trial with Dutch club AZ as they wanted a goalkeeper to serve as backup for Esteban Alvarado after the departure of Erik Heijblok.^[3] On 19 May 2014, he underwent medicals.^[4] Finally on 24 May 2014, he was signed by AZ for a contract until 2016.^[5]

Rochet made his debut against FC Dordrecht after Alvarado was injured.^[6]

Internacional

On 13 July 2023, Internacional officially announced Rochet's signing until December 2026. The Brazilian club agreed to pay a US$1.6m transfer fee to Nacional.^[7] On 8 August 2023, he scored the winning penalty in the shootout against River Plate in the 2023 Copa Libertadores round of 16.

Rochet started the next year with an injured torso, meaning he'd only make his season debut on 25 March^[8] as Inter got knocked out by Juventude in the Campeonato Gaúcho semifinals. He'd retain his position as the starting goalkeeper, even as the club suffered the effects of the severe floods in Rio Grande do Sul in May: during this time, Rochet, as well as other players, participated in the relief efforts^[9] while football had been postponed.

Chino missed 12 Internacional matches between June and July while serving Uruguay during the 2024 Copa América in the United States. He would make his team return on 16 July, during a loss to Rosario Central in the Sudamericana Play-Offs. Rochet would then play in 14 times during Internacional's memorable 16-match unbeaten run^[10] under manager Roger Machado, which saw the Colorado shoot up the Brasileirão table to 5th place finish. He made his 50th appearance for the club during a 2-2 draw away at Corinthians on 5 October 2024.^[11]

International career

On 5 March 2021, Rochet was named in the Uruguay national team's 35-man preliminary squad for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Argentina and Bolivia.^[12] However, CONMEBOL suspended those matches next day amid concern over the COVID-19 pandemic.^[13] He made his international debut on 27 January 2022 in a 1–0 win against Paraguay.^[14]

He was picked for the 2022 World Cup squad and started all three of Uruguay’s games, keeping a clean sheet in two of them. He also saved an André Ayew penalty against Ghana, but it was not enough for Uruguay to qualify for the round of 16.
