Ricardo Quaresma

But if he scores on the Trivela, should we give him a 5k bonus???

Come on man, he cut in beautifully and if you are a player who has been so successful in the past with the Trivela, you would have used it in that position also...

The thing the focus more on, is the way he beat his defender...although he was not great, he looked much more fit than last year, more pace.

I thought he connected well with santon on a few occassions. And he did give an excellent cross for Motta but he missed the header.

I thought even last season the few times he played with Santon, they linked up well together. It's a combination that could get better given time.

Anyway I agree with most posters here, we saw little improvement in his speed and workrate, but not in his end product. He must start providing better service into the box, especially if we are going to be relying on targetmen like Milito/Eto'o.

I don't think he played with Santon last season?

His last game, against I think Reggina, I remember him and Santon played some good one two's.

Quaresma is improving I have to say it, or well that's what I watched yesterday against America... let's hope we get to see the Quaresma we all are waiting for

have u noticed that Quaresma was better than other days last night , more confident his dribblings, crosses ... just keep going on man ur on right tract

Alex de Large · Jul 27, 2009

He is probably the player with more technique on the team after Zlatan leaving.

Rimpel · Jul 27, 2009

He wasn't bad yesterday, especially with the little time he got. At least he's on the right track now.

sakana · Jul 27, 2009

Confidence is such a huge part of his game, even these brief successful appearances are probably helping him.

He wont jump on the 1st eleven just like that with Jose but if he perfrorms in the 20-25 minutes that he is getting then he will begin starting games as well and then its up to him to show what he is worth.

Who do you think he'd replace if he got into the starting lineup? Right now I see him more injecting pace and creativity off the bench, though spots starts would be fantastic.

I agree.

He can replace baloteli, with his current poor performances he wont be guaranted starting spot and if ricky start playing his magic baloteli will be benched.

I liked what I saw of him last night. He looks very motivated and more self-confident. Hopefully he can prove last year was unlucky.

CafeCordoba · Jul 27, 2009

He still hasn't showed us he can go past the defender with the ball. I expect exactly that from him.

Luka · Jul 27, 2009

True.

JohnTheBaptist · Jul 27, 2009

False.

minterke · Jul 27, 2009

Ya not true, Quaresma took on his man pretty much every single time he got the ball yesterday...he look solid even thouhg he played 15 min.

Luka · Jul 27, 2009

No he didn't. Not in a classical sense. He did sidesteps, or he cut inside but that's not actually beating a guy through dribbling and then sprinting down the wing or whatever, and that's what CC and I had in mind.

Cutting inside a defender = beating a defender in my books...Plus if you could cut inside him, why would you want to run outside of him?

Luka · Jul 27, 2009

Cutting inside is not beating a guy. You can cut inside all day long, and you won't have the same effect when you actually BEAT a guy which makes you much more dangerous.

It's a tactical thing, just go and look for it guys.
