The media would consider “a defeat” if the striker ends up playing for the Mexican National Team and not for his country
In Colombia there are voices that request, at least, a call to Julian Quinonesbefore you make the final decision to play with the Mexican team. Different journalists consulted by ESPN, consider that “it would be a defeat” the escape of the current forward of the America and they hope that the Colombian Soccer Federation will make at least an effort to retain it.
“In Colombia we feel that it may already be too late to include him, due to his publicly expressed desire to receive opportunities in the country that welcomed him, embraced him, and has opened the doors for him like Mexico,” said Julián Capera, a journalist for ESPN in Colombia. “In Colombia it would be a defeat, not having Quiñones in the immediate future, we understand that this is his decision, because he has been forgotten by the recent coaching staff that the Colombian team has had, it is a real pity for our football that it is like this” .
Quiñones is 26 years old and is in the crosshairs of the Mexican National Team, after adding four titles of Liga MX and be key in ending seven decades without the Atlas championship. Even so, in Colombia, his native country, they do not turn to see the attacker and the striker began his naturalization process in Mexico.

“It is very striking why the Colombian Soccer Federation and the technicians that have passed have never even brought it closer to the microcycle or friendlies process, nothing,” said Juan Carlos Cortés from Blu Radio – Colombia. “It’s very curious, because there are similar cases, like that of John Córdoba from Russia’s Krasnodar, because in the previous season he was the most outstanding Colombian player in Europe and they didn’t even look at him. What could happen? There will be a topic leadership, there will be a topic that, at some point, I don’t know if it was Julián Quiñones, some players expressed their annoyance for not going to the National Team.
“That went viral on networks, because players like John Córdoba showed his annoyance at never being called up to the National Team. I reiterate that I don’t know if Julián Quiñones was among them and there was a kind of veto, because surely, if Colombia had strikers spread all over the world, well, we would say that these do not fit, but it turns out that Colombia does not have scorers”.
The possibility of avoiding the escape of Julián Quiñones is in the hands of Néstor Lorenzo, the coach of the Colombian National Team. It is expected that at least one call can change the direction of the América striker.
“One of the issues that condemned us not to go to Qatar was the goal deficit and today I consider that Colombia does not have a surplus of forwards, so Julián Quiñones could come in to give an important hand,” said Daniel Millán, journalist for Telepacifico News. “Hopefully Lorenzo will give him a little call, that it be to keep him in mind and so that he knows what Julián wants.”
Colombian formed in Mexico
Colombian journalists consider that Julián Quiñones would have a predilection for Mexico, because he has made his career in Liga MX.
“I would understand if he wanted to play for Mexico, because he finished his training there. Second, because he knows the environment and Mexican soccer has given him all the opportunities, it has given him confidence. Third, because his desire is to represent a national team.” , shared Daniel Millán, a journalist from Telepacifico Noticias.
Quiñones arrived in Mexico at the age of 18, began his career from the Sub 20 of Tigres, going through the Expansion League, until he became the stellar reinforcement of América.
“What weighs more to incline the player towards Mexico than in Colombia, is that his entire career was spent in Mexico. He was little in Colombian soccer, he is used to Mexican soccer, to the idiosyncrasies, beyond if he was born here. The weight weighs issue of the race, that he did everything there and had no ties in these parts”, considered Juan Carlos Cortés of Blu Radio – Colombia.
