In a FIFA World Cup group stage match, Colombia defeated DR Congo 1-0. Afterwards, Colombian attacking midfielder Quintero spoke to the media.
50 appearances for the national team
To be honest, I didn't know about this milestone beforehand, and I'm very happy. These are precious moments. We qualified successfully, and I'm grateful. Reaching my 50th cap after a 14-year national team career is something I'm overjoyed about.
This match was very tough
Every match is important, and next we face a strong national team. Although we've already secured qualification, playing against Portugal, a traditional powerhouse, will set the tone for our remaining matches.
The significance of 50 appearances
The number itself has no special meaning, but it carries great significance for me. Thanks to James for giving me the captain's armband; everyone in the team is a leader. This record is very precious, and I'm always willing to give my best for my country and the national team. Even if matches don't go as planned, I will hold my ground.
Strong team unity
Our team atmosphere has always been very harmonious, and everyone is willing to contribute. Today's victory is the best proof of that.
