There are unincluded geniuses, who wait for his opportunity far from the heat of the foci, which in some occasion have demonstrated what there are and what for these courses of the life, they are in the half-light, isolated from what there are, in the deepest negligence when his talent is necessary for its own good and for of those who admire it. There is out of series that were never recognized as such, there is magic in boots in desuetude, there is desire in soccer players immersed in the ostracism.

There are cracks as Ricardo Quaresma for whom the things, despite being an extremely gifted futbolísticamente speaking, do not go out as they should go out for him. The Portuguese end keeps on throwing the currency to the air and cross keeps on going out for him. The face is close to his homeland, in his natural habitat, in Portugal. There it is capable of the best thing and of the unbeatable thing. Far from his country his quality fades away as the confidence of the technical staff fades away for one of the players with more projection that our neighbors have given in a lot of time. Quaresma plays in the Inter. Pardon, it is in the Inter.

Because to play there are strong words. It is incomprehensible like a right hand as that of the international Portuguese is so wasted. And that that left to the Italian champion of the hand of José Mourinho, the technician who extracted the best of Ricardo in Oporto. From there, from his last stage in the Superleague, it is lacked to see him shining like him only he knows. His signing for the Inter of Milan is turning out to be frustrating. Too much for the soccer that it hoards. Last year did not get acclimatized and went away transferred to the Chelsea, where he had not leading role either. This course, back to the Series A, continues the same steps. Steps enlarged towards no part.

Now, and with the World cup of South Africa to the return of the corner, he looks for an exit of the Italian set, where it will be able to win to everything at collective level, but in which it is stagnating at individual level of alarming form. Of continuing in Italy, his incursion in the list of summoned of Carlos Queiroz – any time the Portugueses qualify — would be closer to the utopia than to the reality. His target is the next summer appointment does not get lost and for it possible destinations sound already. Sporting of Lisbon and Athletic of Madrid they are those who up to the date have done it with major force and the interest mattress-maker is not new.

Between coming back home and the doubt is played in The Manzanares it is big. If it was returning to the club that saw him being born and on which his first big jump met on having recorded for the Barcelona, it would have a position assured in the Portuguese cocktail. Quaresma knows the Superleague as to the palm of his hand and he is there, and not in another place, where his best version has always been seen. But also mattress seller is the option. To take the umpteenth small thorn from him in another championship that is not his but to risk without doing it and allowing to escape the opportunity for that so much an elite player longs: to dispute a Championship of the World.

Be as it is, the clear only thing is that Quaresma is losing the time in the Inter and must find it in any other place. That must change airs as soon as possible and, why would to deny it, to see it in our League be a luxury. But the decision has already to take it if he does not want that a genius like him, an artist of the ball how it is, gets lost forever in the half-light of the ostracism for these courses of the life.
