What went wrong with Ricardo Quaresma?

First lesson for any foreign player that comes to Serie A is a simple one: NO ONE HAS TIME TO WAIT.

Portuguse player went a short way from the legitimate heir of Luis Figo to someone who Milan doesn’t even want in their team. He has already picked up all the labels of „failure of the season“ and „wasted money“ and the booings he must face each time when he takes the ball at Meazza crush the little self-confidence he has left.

Too high expectations?

It seems so; Quaresma was paid a lot of money and threwn in the colisseum with the lions. Everyone overlooked the fact that he hasn’t played in many of big games and he is not used to high tempo of playing two tough games a week.

Surprised?

Have you ever seen Portuguese championship? Porto are dominant in this comepetition and Quaresma plays in four tough games a year. Don’t take this for granted, because Porto are dominant over Lisbon clubs that even forgot the last time they won a title.

Champions League?

The Dragons have never been a serious threat for the biggest clubs… Mourinho and Deco eras are history; today Porto can be lucky if they get to stage two… in such a team Quaresma played without clear-cut obligations and became an expensive entertainer.

National squad?

Don’t make us laugh, Ricardo is juts an alternative, a guy for the last 20 minutes when Ronaldo and Simao Sabrosa get tired.
Few people remember his failure in Barca few years ago when he got injured but he also showed his moody character in constant clashes with Rijkard. It is well-known that because of his gipsy backgrounds Ricardo is often nostalgic.
Even Mourinho, the man who brought him is not watching his back anymore. He simply crticised him for not working hard on trainings and in the last statement the coach expressed disappointment with Quaresma’s performance.
Ricardo is not on the roster for the Champiosn League; he might even be the change for Jermain Jenas… his fall on the football market reminds of global economic crisis. With one difference- we don’t think Quaresma will rise.

What’s next?

Going to England and then soon going back home, where he will be happy and play without pressure. And get aplause, as the fans back home like entertainers…
