'''Ricardo Andrade Quaresma Bernardo''' {{post-nominals|post-noms=[[Order of Merit (Portugal)|ComM]]}} ({{IPA|pt|ʁiˈkaɾðu kwɐˈɾɛʒmɐ}}; born 26 September 1983) is a Portuguese former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Winger (association football)|winger]].
 
He began his career at [[Sporting CP]] and went on to play for [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]], [[Inter Milan]], [[FC Porto|Porto]] (twice),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/noticias/Pages/quaresma-antes-besiktas-fcp-201117.aspx?p_page=8|title=Quaresma: "Serei do FC Porto até morrer"|trans-title=Quaresma: "I will be FC Porto until I die"|publisher=FC Porto|language=pt|date=20 November 2017|access-date=6 August 2018}}</ref> [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] (twice), [[Shabab Al-Ahli Club|Al-Ahli Dubai]], [[Kasımpaşa S.K.|Kasımpaşa]] and [[Vitória S.C.|Vitória de Guimarães]]. Regarded as a mercurial talent, his tricks, including the ''[[rabona]]'' and ''[[trivela]]'' (a bending shot with the outside of his right foot) made him a popular figure among fans around the world.<ref name=Shadow>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/04/portugal-vs-wales-euro-2016-ricardo-quaresma-emerges-from-cristi/|title=Ricardo Quaresma emerges from Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow to help duo to brink of career-defining glory|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|last=Liew|first=Jonathan|date=4 July 2016|access-date=10 August 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/07/04/portugal-vs-wales-euro-2016-ricardo-quaresma-emerges-from-cristi/|archive-date=12 January 2022|url-access=subscription}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://backpagefootball.com/wonderkids-of-the-past-ricardo-quaresma-edition/126709/|title=Wonderkids of the past – Ricardo Quaresma edition|publisher=Back Page Football|last=Adade|first=Aaron|date=10 November 2020|access-date=4 July 2024}}</ref>
A [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting]] trainee, he debuted as a professional during the 2000-2001 season in the B side, playing 15 games. In the next season he was selected by [[Laszlo Bölöni]] to play in the main squad, where he played 28 matches, scored three goals and was a key player in Sporting's title.
 
A [[Portugal national football team|Portugal international]] for 15 years, Quaresma won 80 [[Cap (sport)|caps]] and played at three [[UEFA European Championship|European Championships]], including the victorious [[UEFA Euro 2016|Euro 2016]], and the [[2018 FIFA World Cup|2018 World Cup]].
During the 2002-2003 season he was Sporting's "lone star", the second player in total minutes (2216), played in 31 matches, and scoring in five occasions. The poor results during the season were partially attributed to Bölöni, who rarely played [[Cristiano Ronaldo]] and Quaresma at the same time.
 
==Club career==
Afterwards, he was sold to [[FC Barcelona]] for [[€]]6,000,000 (plus playing rights for [[Fabio Rochemback]]), but failed to make his mark with the Catalan side. Only starting ten times, he came off the bench eleven, scoring only one goal. In the final weeks of the season he injured his right foot badly, missing the UEFA U-21 Championship 2004 in [[Germany]] and the [[Euro 2004]], although it was highly unlikely he would have been called up for the major tournament.
===Sporting CP===
Quaresma was born in [[Lisbon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com.br/futebol/artigo/_/id/4462314/rei-da-trivela-quaresma-fracassou-no-barcelona-e-sofreu-com-preconceito-por-ser-cigano|title=Rei da trivela, Quaresma fracassou no Barcelona e sofreu com preconceito por ser cigano|trans-title=King of ''trivela'', Quaresma failed at Barcelona and fought prejudice for being gypsy|publisher=[[ESPN (Brazil)|ESPN]]|last1=De Laurentiis|first1=Francisco|last2=Bianchini|first2=Vladimir|language=pt|date=25 June 2018|access-date=14 March 2022}}</ref> A trainee at [[Sporting CP]]'s famed [[Sporting CP Youth Academy|academy]], the 17-year-old was promoted to the first team by manager [[László Bölöni]] before the start of the [[2001–02 Primeira Liga|2001–02 season]], playing 28 [[Primeira Liga]] matches and scoring three goals as the team won [[Double (association football)|the double]].<ref name=Sporting>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/019f-0ea6cc8cb753-8aea14778d26-1000--porto-seal-quaresma-deal/|title=Porto seal Quaresma deal|publisher=UEFA|date=6 July 2004|access-date=29 June 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://observador.pt/2016/06/13/quaresma-as-sete-vidas-de-um-desalinhado-com-pernas-tortas/|title=Quaresma.

Under the same coach, Quaresma scored five times in the league [[2002–03 Primeira Liga|the following campaign]], but the team could only finish in third place.
During [[Euro 2004]] he announced his refusal to play for Barcelona as long as [[Frank Rijkaard]] was in charge, and several teams began inquiring about the talented player. However, Sporting rivals [[FC Porto]] had an advantage: a transfer for [[Deco]] was being negotiated, and Quaresma could be used as part of the transfer fee. At first uninterested in returning to Portugal, he changed his mind quickly and was presented as a Porto signing on [[6 July]]. The value of his transfer was €6M.
 
===Barcelona===
At the start of the 2004/2005 season Quaresma was a key player for [[Futebol Clube do Porto|Porto]] squad. A regular starter, he managed to score two goals during the first two cup finals Porto had to play ([[European Super Cup]] and [[Portuguese Super Cup]]).
In 2003, Quaresma was sold to [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] for a reported €6&nbsp;million fee and the loan of [[Fábio Rochemback]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11833_2271059,00.html|title=Barca seal Quaresma swoop|publisher=[[Sky Sports]]|last=Higham|first=Paul|date=18 July 2003|access-date=3 February 2010}}</ref> In his [[2003–04 La Liga|first year]] in [[La Liga]] he made ten starts and 12 [[Substitute (association football)|substitute]] appearances, scoring in the 5–0 home rout of [[Albacete Balompié|Albacete]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2004/02/02/deportes/1075676407_850215.html|title=Una goleada balsámica|trans-title=Therapeutic rout|newspaper=[[El País]]|last=Piñol|first=Àngels|language=es|date=2 February 2004|access-date=6 August 2018}}</ref>

Quaresma scored five goals in his first year at the [[Estádio do Dragão]], and the club finished as runners-up. In the [[Penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shootout]] defeat of [[Once Caldas]] in the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]], he successfully converted his attempt in an [[2004 Intercontinental Cup|8–7 victory]] in [[Yokohama]].<ref name=ICup>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablest/toyota04.html|title=Intercontinental Club Cup 2004|website=[[RSSSF]]|last=Leme de Arruda|first=Marcelo|access-date=6 August 2018}}</ref>

On 1 September 2008, Quaresma signed for Italian champions [[Inter Milan]] in a cash/player exchange fee of €18.6&nbsp;million, with youngster [[Pelé (footballer, born 1987)|Pelé]] joining Porto.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=29697&L=en|title=Quaresma completes Inter switch|publisher=Inter Milan|date=1 September 2008|access-date=1 September 2008}}</ref> He scored in his first [[Serie A]] match against [[Catania FC|Catania]], with one of his trademark ''[[trivela]]s'' in a 2–1 home win.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.repubblica.it/2008/09/sezioni/sport/calcio/serie_a/giornata-2/inter-catania/inter-catania.html|title=Prima vittoria dell'Inter di {{sic|nolink=y|Muorinho}} – Sconfitto il Catania, ma che fatica|trans-title=First win for Mourinho's Inter – Catania beaten, but what an effort|newspaper=[[La Repubblica]]|language=it|date=13 September 2008|access-date=6 August 2018}}</ref> However, he found opportunities in the starting XI limited, as coach [[José Mourinho]] stated: <blockquote>"He is a great talent, but the joy I have at seeing the way [[Zlatan Ibrahimović|Ibra]] works for and with the team I do not yet have with Quaresma. He will have to learn, otherwise he won't play, and I am sure he'll change and become more tactically disciplined.

At the end of [[2008–09 Serie A|the season]], Quaresma was given the [[Bidone d'oro]] award for the worst footballer in the Italian top division.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=601467&cc=3436|title=Rafa writes off Reds, Ronaldo a 'traitor'|publisher=[[ESPN FC|ESPN Soccernet]]|last=Raynor|first=Dominic|date=12 December 2008|access-date=9 September 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714052745/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=601467&cc=3436|archive-date=14 July 2012}}</ref> On 2 February 2009, [[Transfer window|transfer deadline day]], he signed on loan for [[Premier League]] club [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] until 30 June,<ref name=Loan/> making his first appearance five days later in a 0–0 home draw with [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7867071.stm|title=Chelsea 0–0 Hull|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|last=Hassan|first=Nabil|date=7 February 2009|access-date=24 April 2013}}</ref> On 7 March, he provided [[Assist (association football)|the cross]] for [[Alex (footballer, born June 1982)|Alex]] to score against [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] in the [[2008–09 FA Cup|sixth round]] of the [[FA Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/7910378.stm|title=Coventry 0–2 Chelsea|publisher=BBC Sport|last=Bevan|first=Chris|date=7 March 2009|access-date=24 April 2013}}</ref> After a disappointing start at the [[San Siro]], he said his move had restored his confidence, and he further stated "When I was at Inter, I wasn't feeling very confident.

Regarded as one of the best players of the Portuguese Superliga, he managed to score 5 more goals. However [[Futebol Clube do Porto|Porto's]] team lacked cohesion and thanks to its weak defense players, the championship was lost to [[Benfica]]. By now Quaresma's influence is crucial for [[Futebol Clube do Porto|Porto's]], despite the troublesome times of the club.
<p>
Quaresma was seen as an extremely talented player, with everything to be one of the best in the world, but with a major short-coming, the lack of defensive skills - or, better saying, lack of generosity to help his team in defense. This shortcoming has now been corrected - and is seen as one of [[Co Adriaanse]]'s main achievements - and Quaresma is a real team-player, helping both in defense whenever needed, and in ofense, with his stunning dribbling skills and magical passes.
