The Colombian made his debut this Sunday with Shenzhen in a friendly duel prior to the start of the Chinese league.
This Sunday, after 354 days without playing, and a long time in which his passage to Chinese football was to be seen, Juan Quintero finally made his debut with Shenzhen, the team that paid a large sum for the Colombian left River Plate of Argentina.
The winger entered the second half of the friendly duel against Shaanxi and from his feet came the qualification for the 2-1 victory goal. According to the press in this country, Quintero had a good performance, but he still has to improve physically, which will not involve more problems.
The Chinese Super League will start on March 11 so most clubs hold warm-up matches. “We have to work harder on the tactical part, worse we still have a few days left to do it,” said team coach Jordi Cruyff.

Recall that Quintero has not played since March 11 last year when he was just nine minutes on the court in River Plate’s victory over Binacional del Peru for the Copa Libertadores.
After that there was a long negotiation, also some inconveniences in the visa and finally the Antiochian traveled to China last October to join the institution. Before his first workouts, Quintero had to make a long and strict quarantine.
