I think the combination of riquelme and 2 good fast wingers (nedved or someone else) who are also explosive can create a great threat for a team.
If you think about it Riquelme is a bit like Pirlo, however he is stronger and sometimes a bit slow on the ball (protecting it and what not). If teams have to deal with this the focus will be shifted from players like nedved who can penetrate defences when you don't expect it. The combination of passes and protection that Riquelme provides and the fast paced action can in my opinion work very well.
