That FC Porto and Portugal winger Ricardo Quaresma is one of the most extravagantly talented footballers to ever play the game, there is little doubt. However, until recently the feeling remained that he never hit the heights he could have, owing to an overly selfish playing style and/or a lack of football intelligence.
But all the signs are that “Harry Potter” has found a hitherto elusive maturity and peace of mind that is allowing him to at last fully harness his genius for the good of the team. Maisfutebol journalist Pedro Jorge da Cunha explored the idea in an article entitled: “Quaresma: the prodigy who learned to be a team player”.
