Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has defended the non-selection of mega bucks signing Ricardo Quaresma.

Quaresma is struggling to establish himself in Jose Mourinho's first team and after victory last night against Anorthosis Famagusta, Moratti said: "First of all, each time he's discussed his transfer fee is doubled in the newspapers.

"In addition to this, for now the boy has just arrived, in a new environment. So we absolutely do not expect wonders from him now. The important thing is that slowly, slowly, we back Mourinho. But we also back other players as well. So, he will be part of the group and will continue to play well, otherwise others will play."
