Juan Fernando Quintero or Juan Fernando Quintero Paniagua is a professional footballer from Colombia although he plays as an attacking midfielder for the Argentinian club River Plate. He is quite known for his calm and composed sportsmanship, but don’t underestimate him, he is extremely aggressive when he has the ball. It’s just that he knows when aggressiveness and his skills are really needed and he channels it exactly in that direction.
Juan has been quite popular and it’s evident from the fact that he was covered in The Times of London as one of the most coveted young players in European football. Currently, he is 29 years old and has been playing professional football for a long time but during the time he started playing professionally which was back in 2012, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. He was just 19 years old and watching him play, everyone knew that he is a great player and he will evolve into a much-skilled player in the future. And indeed in the very next year he gave a remarkable performance and led Colombia to their third title in South American Youth Championship, he was named the most valuable player on the team due to his unmatched contribution in all the matches.
By this time he was already a valuable player and soon it all ascended even further for him when he took part in the 2013 U-20 FIFA World Cup which was held in Turkey. He received so much appreciation from every single person for his huge contribution to the World Cup. The next year he was selected to represent in the 2014 FIFA World Cup which was held in Brazil. He knows how special this tournament was in general and for his career too. So he gave his best and he scored his first-word cup goal there. Later he scored in the subsequent World Cup too which was held in Japan, he scored well as well being counted among one of the few players from the country to be able to do so.

One thing that’s undoubtedly true about him is that he really gives his best when it comes to football and he never gives up hope until the last minute in the game.
