He would be sitting on the bench behind Mac at Nacional. At DIM he is a starter and it is proving to be a good decision to go there.
Big match for JuanFer and Medellin tonight in the Libertadores. A win at home against Emelec clinches a ticket into the round of 16. Let's see how he and the team plays tonight in a pressure packed game.
Bad loss at home for el DIM. Emelec had a good game plan of high pressure and basically out-hustled Medellin all night long. Quintero had some nice passes and moves here and there but really was contained like the rest of the team.
Un asco la defensa del DIM, hubo un lapso de como 5-10 minutos que regalaron todas las pelotas a Emelec en su propio campo,
He was decent, not great. Tonight, on the other hand, he was truly special. He came on at the half with Dim losing 0-1 to Nacional. He won a free kick which Mosquera ended up scoring after a diving save from armani, sleekly eluded a defender to setup Marrugo's assist, cooly netted a penalty, and then assisted Valencia on a corner. Dim 4-3 Nacional, a very memorable match
Yes, this one of the best clásicos i've ever seen. Both teams really fought for the game and the intensity from both was very exciting. It is a shame that Quintero physically isn't very good, but just his set pieces and creativity show that he is quite a remarkable player. He must keep his mind in football, I know some people compare him to montaño but he is a player that can certainly give something different to the national team. Montaño had an exceptional ball control but was unable to put a decent assist, Quintero plays for the team, even if he is horrid defending. I'm sure that he will eventually find his place in the world where he will gain the freedom he needs to develop his potential.
That's everything right there. For such a little guy, his stamina is god awful. And he knows it, too. I forget what match it was earlier this season, but, just like last night, he came in as sub and completely changed the game. His best performances in France were as a sub. Hell, Nacional used him exclusively as a super sub when they had him. When he knows he's going to play 90 he isn't nearly as active and pacey. Until he can play at a high tempo for at least 80 minutes, I worry about his career. PS Montano was in Peru at the same age, so that's a plus for Juanfer
Today he's played his most horrid Game in years. DIM is losing 3-0 with Quintero being one of the most irrelevant ones. His set pieces have been horrible and his distribution has been subpar. Now 4-0.
Cali dismantled them. DIM looked exhausted. The decision to put in Balanta for Aguilar ended up nullifying DIM's attacking trio, and Moreno could not cover Cali's attack. 6 of the best attacking midfielders in FPC on the field, but Benedetti-Roa-Sambueza looked much more lethal than Yairo-Marrugo-Quintero today
That's true, Perez and Balanta controlled the game but Quintero had 3 free kicks that were perfect for him, and now, he suddenly wants to shoot every one like Roberto Carlos. Reminded me of Vladimir Marin and that really pissed me off.
I could see his play making a big impact in the Brazilian league but Argentina would not suit his style of play.
Only thing that can save this kids career is Porto cut him and give him free transfer. What they paid and want for him is never going to happen. They thought he was another James but he is another Macnelly. They still dream of a 30-40 million payday for this guy it's just not happening. His work rate and stamina is awful not to mention his dream of being a fking regaton singer
They are asking for 10 million euro. The same amount they paid for him. I can ser mexican and russian teams paying that.
I can't ... that's a shit ton of money. That is what Sevilla offered for Izquierdo. Sevilla wants Jovetic who was on loan from Inter and they offered 8-10 million for him + he is a striker!! Mexican teams pay retarded money for Mexican league stars can't see them dropping that on Quintero was wasn't even all that great V Cali. Bendetti was the star of that series and is much much younger + cheaper. He also has more then 20 minutes of stamina. Other thing I didn't like about Quintero in those games was he wanted to take all the free kicks and was doing a super shit job. Wasn't your day bro give someone else the ball.
Even Red Bulls turning kid down... http://www.metro.us/sports/new-york...lls-soccer-rumors-update#.WUbi6h3l3yo.twitter
Teams are very well aware of his lack of fitness and work rate. Shame that it's something that he has complete control over.
El colombiano Juan Fernando Quintero a nada de convertirse en nuevo jugador del Orlando City de la MLS. (Compra definitiva) #FCPorto pic.twitter.com/jmIP8pW7wy— FC Porto (@OportoEsp) June 20, 2017 Stop asking him to NT....Benedetti, Roa, Montoya are colombians...
Doesn't even deserve a call no matter how talented. Waste of talent worried about anything but football. You could say his loan to Medellin was successful but going back to Colombia was always a mistake because the issues he had had in Europe were not going to be fixed by the leniency he received back home.
I love the despacito song. Hopefully he has a hit like that but as a footballer he is done. Call either of the Cali Amfs. This kid will fail in the MLS because one thing about that league is they need to run.. I said it before coming back to Colombia at his age showed a huge lack of ambition. I was blaming Porto for this kid failing a bit but no it isn't 150% his fault
