Loris Karius embarrassed by Besiktas teammate Ricardo Quaresma in training

That's just taking the p*ss

In case you didn’t know, Ricardo Quaresma bloody loves a rabona.

Quaresma much prefers to wrap his right foot around the back of his left leg than hitting the ball with his weaker foot and everybody knows it.

Quaresma’s new Besiktas teammate Loris Karius found out all about it in training at the weekend when he fell victim to an absolutely outrageous shot from range which was designed to embarrass the German goalkeeper.

Karius, who joined on a two-year loan deal from Liverpool last month, could only watch as the ball sailed over him and into the far corner of the net.

Karius had a mixed debut for the Turkish side last week as he pulled off a wonderful first-half save but just when it looked like he had secured a clean sheet, the 25-year-old found himself poorly positioned and let in a late equaliser from Bursaspor.

Parent club Liverpool will hope that Karius can recapture the confidence which was left in tatters after a difficult few months for the ‘keeper with the Reds.

At least Karius looks to be enjoying himself with Besiktas and managed to find the funny side after being mugged off by Quaresma’s rabona in training.
