Jhon Durán continues with his adaptation period to Turkish football and fights to be undisputed in Fenerbahce while he also wants to get back into the Colombian National Team. In the midst of all this panorama, the young striker received the support of Teófilo Gutiérrezwho considered it as “one of the best” and joked about having to “put two blows into it”.

Besides, His participation in the Selection has been null in the last calls. After his departure from the roster due to injury on the June FIFA date, the forward was not called up again and His presence in the World Cup today is a mystery.

Despite this, and that Lorenzo remarked that the attacker “is not at his best”, Durán received a boost from Teófilo Gutiérrez, an experienced player with a long career in the Colombian National Team.

“For me he is one of the best ‘9’ that Colombia has. In the clubs I fought but I was number ‘1’ in the call, the coach called me and told me “don’t worry, you’re coming.” In the National Team I wore yellow and transformed“, Teo pointed out in TV Directed Control.

And he added, joking: “That ‘pelao’ already knows that he can’t ‘give more papaya’.” but he is a great player. Play in Europe, you have to put in two big steps and that’s it, ha. It’s his personality, he already said that he believes he is the best in the world, maybe others don’t say it.”
