Carlos Queiroz Quotations

Unfortunately Louis is out of the game because yesterday he complained of some pain in his hamstring,

Messi could be the best player in the world - if he was human.

Playing with Paul Scholes is like playing with the light on.

Portugal have a national team called Cristiano Ronaldo and a group of players who run after him.

Of course the FA Cup and the Carling (League) Cup are very important trophies for us.

Of course, like the players we are only as a good as our last game, but what this guy has done for the club, I find it horrendous and nearly unbelievable.

Next season is another story and maybe then we can open up that possibility.

From a negative point of view, last season was exceptional,

He went to make a statement as was planned. Based on those statements, the authorities are going to reach fair and correct conclusions,

He has gone for a scan, so we will not take a risk until we are sure exactly what has happened to him.

I think other teams have a better approach every time they play Chelsea... Everybody is starting to understand how to play against them.

Manchester will not take part in speculation to promote individual or collective interests.

We have changed the concept a little bit and we are more consistent now,

There are no suspicious circumstances, just people who have made a complaint... This could have substance or not. After the evidence (from the player) the authorities will draw the conclusions they believe to be right and fair.

You don't replace great players like Pele, Maradona, Eusebio or Roy Keane. You just create new players in new teams. That is why the game moves forward.

We understand the speculation. It is natural that of 50 clubs, 49 would want him. But the only club who do not need to want him is us.

You cannot be a professional or a champion in football and only be ready to face the beautiful moments in life. You have to be ready to rebound from these bad moments, accept the criticism and learn from it. But I am convinced some of the rubbish being said about us will only make us stronger.

There is nothing to say about Ruud. What we said about him last week applies this week, next week and every other week.

Every time we play we learn, and I am sure the lessons from Wednesday were not only for Rooney,

Everything is going fantastically for Gaby so far. We will not rush him, just follow the recovery process week after week, but we still hope he could play again before the end of the season.

The most important thing in all this is the player and whether he is totally recovered and ready to play. The final decision to give him clearance should be made by us and the Argentine medical staff.

This kind of competition is the right opportunity for these kind of players to start and create opportunities for them to make them grow up and make them ready to perform in the major competitions,

It was a very difficult game and Bayern played extremely well,

It was a terrible defeat but, for us, it never happened.

It's a fantastic league debut for Giuseppe Rossi. He's a young talent and we decided at the start of the season that he should train with the first-team. We are very happy with the progress he has made.

It's not a pleasant situation for Cristiano but he's not worried,

It is the players who make the system, not the other way round,

It has been spelt out to Ruud that he is part of our plans in the short, medium and long term. He is part of our family and nobody should be in any doubt about that.

His conscience is clear. This is the price of fame.

I can't accept us playing better at home than away.

I don't see our goal as a race for second place. Our goal is to win every point that is in front of us and see where it takes us.

I am only sorry that what I said was misinterpreted.

You could say I am more satisfied with the result than with our performance but Bayern made it really hard for us and we did fight.

The great players, I used to say this, you don't replace Pele, Maradona, you just produce new players and new teams,

The comments attributed to me in the press on Tuesday are not an accurate reflection of my view of the fans, or what I said,
