Ricardo Andrade Quaresma Bernardo (born 26 September 1983, in Lisbon, Portugal) is a Portuguese football midfielder who currently plays for FC Porto in the Portuguese BWINLIGA and the Portugal national football team.
Nicknamed Mustang by former Sporting Clube de Portugal coach Laszlo Bölöni, Quaresma is often 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. Quaresma plays as a left winger, (despite naturally being a right winger) in Porto's 4-3-3 formation.
Quaresma is also known for his high technical skill level. Not only does he have superb dribbling skills but he uses skills such as the Trivela and the Rabona, both technically difficult skills.
