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