Ricardo Quaresma

[PedroLC]

I don't understand why he don't play good matches.
He was plenty time to adjust to italian football.

Não intendo porque ele não joga boas partidas.
Ele teve muito tempo para se adaptar ao futebol italiano.

 

[Alex de Large]

Anyway he never had 4 games in a row always playing, maybe 2 or 3 max.

Why do you translate everything you say in Portuguese?

 

[Efrain21C]

he's teaching us some portuguese, that's good

...or that not only did he fail to shine in a system - but in reality, the system failed in Italy.

Lets try to be fair and objective.

Yeah but why do so many other players succeed in Italy's failed system then? Yes, let's be objective and not blame everything else but the player himself - because the only reason for his failure in fact lies within him.

Because they don't have a midfield like ours, offer no support to the wingers. Only our midfielders, all of the same crop are so immobile in the middle.

That's the real reason why 4-3-3 didn't work for us, it's just unrealistic to ask our wingers to breakthrough the entire opponent's defence by their dribbling skills, and that's just what was expected from Quaresma and Mancini.

But of course, both of them didn't help themselves much by being absolute junk.

Maybe he is a schitzo?

Wingplays is the icing on top a quick-passing, mobile, technical midfield. And to say, any of our CMs are that is an abolute joke. In fact, apart from Emre and Sneijder, I cant think of any other CMs meeting that criteria in the last 10 years

He did not play well - no excuses, but also dont be blind to the fact that the 4-3-3 system was an utter failure in itself. And traditionally, wingers do not do well in Italy.

How many wingers have succeeded in Italy? As for other wingers succeeding, how about some names buddy? Serie A over the last decade or so has seen a number of great wingbacks, but how many great wingers? Pavel Nedved was one, altho in my book i wont say he was a pure winger

the game tomorrow is completely decisive for "harry potter". after a good come back against fiore and those sad twenty minutes playing left back (!) against chievo, this is the game to go a step further, specially because many good conditions are fulfilled: he is in good phisical and mental shape, it is at home, in a good pitch (we hope), and against a easy team. for this, it is completely indispensable that he starts. if mourinho do not understand this, it is impossible to expect whatsoever from rq7. he has to play two or three games almost full time to equilibrate. unfortunately, i do not think he will start and the story will be the same as always: coming in at 60th minute or later in a game that inter plays awful and wins and with the expectation (for him and for everybody) that he is obliged to give alone the music the team for itself never gives to the audience.
even though it is a shitty game for the team, and keeping on with the portuguese lessons, it is, for him, a life or death game in italy: um verdadeiro jogo de vida ou morte em itália.

 

[Efrain21C]

he didn't played left back? Cordoba was the LB

 

[Efrain21C]

he was more the left winger

In fact i think Serie-A is very bad place for dribblers. The play is too physical, unless you are one of the best in dribbling and has the physical ability.

Flair is nothing in Serie-A, good control and cool crosses is the key for wingers to excel here.. Nedved is an example of good control, Figo looks good here coz his crosses are always tricky enough...

And like Pirlo said 1 week ago, the pitches in the Serie A are making things almost impossibile. It seems like a bad excuse, but we can't underestemate this. I think he has a very good point here. With good pitches in the whole competition, the playing style would surely look better at some clubs and perhaps players like Quaresma could be more theirselves.

 

[highbreed32]

Even then Quaresma would just get cut down I'm affraid - in Italy, when you touch the ball one too many times that's what happens to you. You get cut down...

 

[Karim]

He wasn't good today and that is what I feared after his injury in the Viola game? Not consistent, but he seems to able to fend off defenders better than he used to.

I think though that Samuel tonight is his large pin in his Inter coffine. Sad really, let's see if Mou will give him another appearance against Bari or Milan

 

[deni reloaded]

sell him ASAP

 

[Besnik]

Well he wasn't good tonight, but I'm pretty sure that he'll get his form soon.. He is very technique player and he can do fantastic things with his dribbles and crosses, but it's true that he wasn't in form tonight, but I belive in his performance and his skills.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Arnautovic is much more dangerous and works 100 times harder than Quaresma, it is clear to me. Hopefully for Mou too.

 

[rfU]

Exactly. And in one half. One bloody half. If RQ7 had a game like he did (in 1 half) the fan boys would be all over this forum screaming for him to stay. Arna was ok today, still think we can invest that money elsewhere.

 

[Big Willy]

Even then Quaresma would just get cut down I'm affraid - in Italy, when you touch the ball one too many times that's what happens to you. You get cut down...

Agreed.. its hard to be in RQ place, the best for him is a return to Portugal asap
