Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz has praised new Liverpool signing Raul Meireles. Talking to Goal.com, the 57 year old praised the midfielder’s all round ability and character:
“I think Raul Meireles is a fantastic player in the national team. He’s one of the pillars of the Portugal team. He’s a great player and an excellent professional. He has all the conditions to be a success in English football at Liverpool. They have just signed the services of a player who stands out for his application, his professional dedication, his technical and footballing quality, and will be very successful for the Liverpool team. He’s a box-to-box midfielder, he’s hard-working, creative, is a good finisher, he’s consistent, very solid, a great team player. He’s a great person who is serious, he’s a player who has a lot of capacity to communicate. He’ll be a great reinforcement for the Liverpool team.”
Meireles has had 38 caps for Portugal, scoring six goals while claiming four Portuguese league titles for Porto at club level as well as three Portuguese Cups and three Portuguese Super Cups.
things wud have been lot better if we had signed arda turan. he scores beautiful goals and can fill in as a striker. and best thing of all he’s a liverpool fan
I am sick of hearing people talk about Arda Turan, he looks deadly on youtube but so do a lot of players in truth he is a bit like Benayoun , he is skillful but quite slow and he can’t play as a striker also i’m a die hard Liverpool fan but that doesn’t mean I should play for Liverpool
