Defender Abdul Mumin lauds Ricardo Quaresma for his guidance at Vitoria Guimaraes

Vitoria Guimaraes defender Abdul Mumin Suleman has lauded veteran Portuguese winger Ricardo Quaresma as great mentor.

The Ghana defender has already cemented his place in the first team of Guimaraes.

The 22-year-old has made 26 appearances in his first season with the Portuguese top-flight side.

Mumin speaking in an interview admitted that the bits of advice he has been receiving from the 37-year-old Quaresma has helped his game immensely.

“Sweet guy and also a very humble person as well," he told Citi TV.

“He is someone you can easily talk to and also ask for advice on how he sees the game.

“Usually when we train and you do something wrong he calls you and gives you pointers because we play against each other.

“He gives you tips to help you improve your game as a defender because he is a very skilful player," he added.

Mumin has been tipped to earn a call up to the Black Stars ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] that will be hosted in Cameroon.
