Juanfer Quintero He is one of the best footballers that the South American continent has produced. The Colombian midfielder, 32 years old, has played several stages in River Platean Argentine team that he considers “Real Madrid”, meaning that it is the best team. This is what he expressed in a podcast with the singer Maluma, his compatriot, and which ‘TyC Sports’ has echoed.
Quintero also says that the fact of not having played for Real Madrid or FC Barcelona does not make you worse. He has prioritized playing in South America, which does not mean that it is better or worse. “I have received offers from Europe, but I have won everything in South America. For me, River is Real Madrid,” he stated, marking the place the ‘millionaire’ club occupies in his career.
The Colombian avoided getting involved in the weak collective balance of the last year, although he did dwell on a memory that marked him forever. “Maybe they tell you ‘he didn’t hit it’ because I didn’t play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. But I played in a final with River against Boca at the Bernabéu and I had to score a goal, which is the greatest blessing that has happened to me.” And he added: “There I told my family ‘I already did something in football’. People will always talk about Juan Fernando Quintero after that.”

Personally, who in Europe has played for Porto and Rennes, he claimed to be at his peak: “In maturity, I am in the best moment of my life, in all aspects. I am a guy sick of winning. I can lose, but on the field you have to kill me,” he assured. However, he wanted to make it clear that “football is a group game and does not depend solely on one person.”
