Julián Quiñones Returns to Mexico Determined to Prove His Best Form

Forward Julián Quiñones has arrived in Los Angeles and is ready to tackle the CONCACAF Nations League with a clear goal: to prove he deserves his spot on the Mexican National Team. After a 2024 season where he didn't stand out as he hoped, the naturalized striker aims to redeem himself in the match against Canada.

According to Infobae, Quiñones is aware that his previous performance with El Tri didn't meet expectations. Despite playing nine matches, he only scored two goals, a figure he himself considers insufficient. Now, after shining in the Saudi Arabian league with 20 goals and seven assists in 25 matches with Al-Qadisiyah, he is confident he can bring his good form to the national team.

"Last tournament I couldn't show the level I wanted. Now I have a new opportunity and I want to do it in the best possible way. I hope everything goes well and I can demonstrate what I've been doing with my club," Quiñones stated.

Additionally, the former Tigres and América player highlighted the influence of Javier Aguirre on the team, claiming he has brought a positive change to the squad's environment.

"He came to change many things in the National Team. You can see a more united group, both on and off the field. He has come to do good things and improve everything," he affirmed.

With the final in sight, Mexico will face Canada at SoFi Stadium this Saturday in a crucial CONCACAF Nations League clash. El Tri will look to assert themselves against an opponent that has shown steady growth in recent years. Quiñones, who is aiming to start, will have the chance to add his attacking flair and show he can be a key piece in Javier Aguirre's setup.
