Ricardo Andrade Quaresma Bernardo (born 26 September 1983 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese footballer, partly of Gypsy heritage, who currently plays for Internazionale and for the Portuguese national team (last cap in 2008). Quaresma is usually positioned as an attacking winger.
Ricardo Quaresma's style of play can be defined as one with speed, grace, toughness, and often plays a free role on the pitch. Initially nicknamed "The Mustang" by former Sporting Clube de Portugal coach Laszlo Bölöni, his nickname in Portuguese is "Cigano", which literally translates from Portuguese into "Gypsy".
Quaresma is regularly compared to fellow Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo for the similarities both possess in terms of their speed and dribbling abilities, as well as their style of play. He also specialized the "Trivela" shooting technique, which is his ability to swerve and bend the ball perfectly with the outside of his boot when executing crosses, free kicks, and long shots.
At a young age, Quaresma was ranked higher in the pecking order than Cristiano Ronaldo. Portuguese national manager Carlos Queiroz once stated that Manchester United had the opportunity to sign Quaresma but opted for Ronaldo.
