Kuarejma: "I wanted to play in the starting lineup in Barcelona"

Famous Portuguese striker Ricardo Quaresma spoke about his inability to adapt to the "Barcelona" club where he played at the beginning of his career. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He stated that he was not given enough playing time. In his interview, Quaresma emphasized that he wanted not only to be a club member but also to play regularly on the field.

At that time, the team had famous players like Xavi, Puyol, Luis Enrique, and Ronaldinho. Quaresma recalls that period as a wonderful time like a fairy tale.

He could have waited for his turn, but at that time he considered himself ready to play in the main squad. Therefore, he thought the coaches should give him a chance.

Years later, he said he realized his mistake and understood that he was not actually fully prepared at that time. Recently, there have been rumors about Quaresma possibly moving to one of the Russian clubs.
