Sometimes there is a drop off in play when you move to a new team, have high expectations placed upon you (He is the highest paid foreigner I believe) and have more pressure on you to perform. Glad he played well last night and hope he continues to do well. Would be nice to see him finally play in a Copa Mundial de clubes.
Darwin scored a brace in America's elimination from the playoffs. Puma's team captain Dario Veron allegedly called Darwin a 'simio de mierda'. LINK
Ok not to start a racist debate but why are Mexicans all about calling us monkeys. The natives there looks like nvm.... I remember having to leave the Univision soccer forum because 80% of the comments was calling us monkeys.
He suffered from a blood clot and is out for the rest of the season. Was it a blood clot or a stroke? A whole season out seems like a stroke. Either way get better Darwin Isn't this what killed Calero?
I didnt know it was so bad ..but I have read this La tromboflebitis sufrida por Carlos Darwin Quintero no es tan grave han dicho los médicos y volvería a las canchas en 2 meses. Gran noticia— Cesar Augusto Londoño (@cesaralo) September 6, 2016
Ok originally they said it was a year. I remember them saying something similar about Calero shoulder. I google translated it and it says blood clot but when I read a year I was confused if it might have been a bad stroke and he lose some functionality in his body or something
#VIDEO ¡Le saldrá caro a Darwin Quintero! @ClubAmerica decide sancionarlo luego de que el jugador trató de golpear con un balón a un reportero https://t.co/LOpB7hqFdd pic.twitter.com/PwEkVxcfZQ— Reporte Índigo (@Reporte_Indigo) January 24, 2018
A ball in the back of the head could easily yield a concussion. I did see a debate on one of the Mexican sport channels where Hugo Sanchez defended Quintero and said this is VERY common. Apparently they all make it a fun bet to see if they can hit a member of the press. It is still classless to do so. Press is still doing their job even if they're creating some type of sensationalism.
