Quaresma named Serie A's worst player
6 days ago
ROME (AFP) — Misfiring Inter Milan winger Ricardo Quaresma has been named as Serie A's worst player, taking over the mantle from team-mate Adriano.
The 'Bidone d'Oro' is a joke award given out to a player who's flattered to deceive despite a big reputation and it's name - which means the golden can - is a play on words with the 'Ballon d'Or' which recognises the best player in Europe - won this year by Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Inter Milan may be dominating in Italy on the pitch but it seems that some of their players have been failing to impress.
Brazil forward Adriano won the award the last two years and now his Portugal winger team-mate is the new holder.
Quaresma picked up more than 17 percent of the vote ahead of two previous winners, Atalanta's veteran former Italy striker Christian Vieri and Adriano with 10.21 percent and 9.44 percent respectively.
The award is voted for on a popular radio show called Catersport on Rai's Radio2.
