Ricardo Quaresma Unplugged Intro

Ner­az­zurri Fans may well ask who is this Por­tuguese won­der boy? What will he add to our club?  What is his style? and will he fill the boots of Luis Figo to become the next mid­field magi­cian for Inter? 

Com­par­i­son to Cris­tiano Ronaldo is lit­tle sur­prise as Quaresma is yet one more from that cur­rent crop of out­stand­ing Portuguese playmakers.

Born of the Sport­ing Lis­bon youth sys­tem, Quaresma will surely make his mark but the trick is in how he does it.  Dis­cover Quaresma’s favorite tech­nique called Triv­ela, cour­tesy of the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League Skills video library at UEFA.com.

After the skills exhi­bi­tion fol­low the Offi­cial Inter Press Con­fer­ence with Don Mour­inho in the sec­ond video. (English trans­la­tion below video)

Offi­cial Team Intro­duc­tion of Ricardo Quaresma   

(Quaresma speaks in Portuguese, English trans­la­tion for Serie A Talk read­ers) 

“I’m very happy to be at Inter. My first sen­sa­tion is very beau­ti­ful. I’m sure I’ve arrived at a club with big play­ers.  I have to work imme­di­ately and find my place in the team as soon as pos­si­ble and help the team achieve its objec­tives. I think we can play against any other team. In Italy there are star play­ers. We can face Milan like we can face any other team, I am ready to play any oppo­nent. I think any player wants to improve on his con­tract. It is clear hav­ing cost a lot it is a respon­si­b­lity for me but respon­si­bil­ity doesn’t scare me. I have faced other respon­si­bil­i­ties before.” 

(fol­lowed by Team Man­ager, Jose Mourinho practicing Italian)

“Our team is now bal­anced. With options for play­ers in dif­fer­ent roles and tac­tics. I have every­thing at my dis­posal. It’s a pity that a win­ning player like him, that in this moment has 4, 6,9, 10 titles couldn’t arrive 10 days ago and win the Super Cup, because he could have had 11. I think that in the end of the sea­son, he could have more titles. A player young like him. Where can he play? on the right, left, 4–4-2, 4–3-3. He can play on the bench, he can play in the stands. 

APPIANO GENTILE — Today’s training

Some player his­tory, Quaresma was the player that made Deco’s move to Barcelona pos­si­ble. After refus­ing to play under Frank Rijkaard  he was trans­ferred to Porto in a deal that would bring his coun­try­man to the Nou Camp.
