Quaresma was the star at Sporting back then. People didn't look at Ronaldo like a guy that could turn in what he is today. Then Ronaldo started showing the skills with the ball and did that show against Man United. And the rest is history. Quaresma was too hot tempered (still is a bit :lol:) and admitted recently his career could have been quite different if he had behaved better.
Tots agreement. Quaresma was the natural talent like a Messi but lacked any discipline or consistency to follow through. Ronaldo has been sheer force of will on top of talent.

Could have had 4 goals judging by the highlights
Would like to see this 4 clear cut goals he could of scored today because from the game i watched he hit the crossbar with a great header unlucky, he scored one, had a snapshot on the turn denied by a great low save by keeper and then a header that the defender did enough to push him off balance at last min.
 

Seven

In bocca al lupo, Fabio.

Man....imagine if quaresma had half the discipline and desire to succeed as Ronaldo.

That duo would have gone down as best ever.

Quaresma by sheer talent is miles ahead of Ronaldo.

:lol: of course not. Ronaldo's end product was severely lacking until he was 22-23, but he was already tearing other teams apart when he was 19. He was arguably Portugal's best player at Euro 2004 too. If you're that good at 19, you are one hell of a talent. Not to mention that physical strength and speed are what makes an athlete talented too and Quaresma could work every bit as hard as Ronaldo, he'd never be the same physical monster Ronaldo is.
