Julián Quiñones: The Mexican Striker Matching Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema’s Goal Scoring Pace
Julián Quiñones, the Mexican footballer currently playing for Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Pro League, has been making headlines with his impressive goal-scoring form. Quiñones has matched the goal-scoring pace of international stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, having scored eight goals in various competitions this season.
In the Saudi Pro League, Quiñones has scored four goals and provided two assists in eight matches. Additionally, he has contributed four goals and one assist in the Kings Cup, bringing his total to eight goals, a figure that aligns with the tallies of Ronaldo and Benzema.
Quiñones’ recent performance has earned him a recall to the Mexico national team, which is set to face Honduras in the Concacaf Nations League. This match, scheduled for November 15, is considered a crucial encounter by Mexico’s coach, Javier Aguirre, who described it as a “watershed” game for the team’s new process.
After not being called up for the October FIFA dates, Quiñones has been in stellar form, scoring four goals between October 25 and November 2 for Al Qadsiah. His physical presence and goal-scoring ability make him a key player in Mexico’s lineup against Honduras.
Coach Javier Aguirre emphasized the importance of the match against Honduras, noting that it will be a tough and intense game. Quiñones’ inclusion in the team is expected to bring significant impact, given his current form and the respect he has garnered in the football community).
