I believe he can have more success here. [LNB]'I am surprised it did not work out for him at Inter, especially as it was Jose Mourinho who wanted to sign him last summer. [LNB]'He is a player with fight, determination, swiftness and great vision on the field. He can make things happen and unlock opposition defences. [LNB]'On the ball he is a fantastic talent and can dribble at pace. He is a great player to watch and he will excite the fans.'[LNB]Chelsea's damaging defeat at Liverpool on Sunday left them five points adrift of Manchester United[LNB]having played a game more, but Deco is confident Quaresma can help inspire the players to fight back and challenge for the title.[LNB]'The defeat at Anfield was a major setback. But the team need to react well now. It's still possible for us to fight in many competitions, but that will depend on us. [LNB]'I am an ambitious player and I want to win a Premier League title in my first year at Chelsea.'[LNB]Quaresma himself said: 'All I want is to show my qualities, to show what I am made of and hopefully I am going to help Chelsea achieve their goals. [LNB]'I try to give my best for the team when I play.  I didn't have many opportunities to show my qualities at Inter but I believe these two are two great leagues in the world. [LNB]'I want is to show what I am made of, to show hard work, to show all my qualities here. "I can promise is I am going to work very hard, I am going to give my best.'[LNB] [LNB]
