Julio Furch recalls his partnership with Julian Quinones at Atlas
Former Atlas striker Julio Furch reflects on his successful playing partnership with Julian Quinones during the club's historic championship era.
Julio Furch has shared his memories of his time at Atlas, where he formed a legendary attacking partnership with Julian Quinones during the club's historic back-to-back championship run. Furch noted that while it took time to click, the two strikers eventually developed a strong chemistry that proved vital for the team.
What Julian does doesn't surprise me at all. I already knew him from playing against him in Mexico. When he arrived at Atlas, we ended up playing together for two years. We formed a great duo and won everything with Atlas. Julio Furch
Furch also acknowledged Quinones' exceptional ability, suggesting that the forward's dynamism meant he had outgrown the Liga MX level. This progression eventually led to his move to America and his subsequent transfer to Saudi Arabia.
He is a top-class player; he has a quality and strength that helped me a lot, and I helped him a lot too. I was more focused on the dirty work—colliding, winning headers, holding the ball—while he excelled individually. Julio Furch
