Besiktas winger Ricardo Quaresma has revealed that
his move to Inter in 2008 was the biggest regret of his
life.
The Portuguese moved to the Nerazzurri from Porto, but only managed
24 appearances over two seasons and was loaned to Chelsea in the
middle of his stint.
"The thing that I regret the most in life is going to Inter," the
27-year-old told FCInternews.it. "At Inter, they took away my
happiness and confidence within myself.
"At a certain point, they stopped calling me up, and I felt on the
fringes of the side. I cried waking up and going to
training."
Quaresma was also puzzled by former coach Jose Mourinho's decision
to stop selecting him, as it was the tactician that convinced the
Nerazzurri to purchase him.
"I still can't understand certain things that occurred with him
[Mourinho]," he said. "Upon arriving in Milan, I understood that I
was purchased because he wanted me.
"Then all of a sudden, I didn't play. It is true that I was not at
the peak of my fitness, and when I saw myself on TV, I was
unrecognizable.
"The truth is that in Italy, I went through a delicate phase in my
life."
