Is Riquelme slow?

Why did Riquelme fail Barcelona?

Barça manager Louis van Gaal described Riquelme as a “political signing” and treated him with indifference. When the Dutchman did play him, he did so rarely, deploying him as a winger. Thus, the player was unable to find his form during a period of largely substitute appearances, losing his place in the first team.
