My Take

Juanfer Quintero is one of those playmakers whose vision is worth the price of admission even when his end product runs hot and cold. He first turned heads at the 2013 South American Youth Championship, and his left foot can unlock a defense with one disguised pass. For me the defining image is River Plate, where he became a club legend with decisive moments in big finals. He has never quite settled in Europe the way his talent suggested he might, but in South American football he is genuinely beloved. A craftsman of the killer ball, frustratingly streaky, always watchable.
