Queiroz: Madrid Lack Class

The Diario de Noticias asked Queiroz for his thoughts on the recent drama between Manchester United and Real Madrid over Cristiano Ronaldo, and were not left hanging for a response.

Following on from his recent allegations that the Spanish side were seeking to unsettle both United and the Portuguese national side over the winger, he offered a scathing indictment of the capital club.

He spluttered, "The current chairman of Real Madrid [Ramón Calderón] was my manager, and I know what he told me and what happens in the end. I have the advantage of knowing the differences between the two clubs [Madrid and United].

"In Madrid, our role was to serve as a kind of wrapping paper. We were to bring Figo, Ronaldo, Zidane to light. But they don't know what recognition and gratitude are there."

He added that there has still been no official approach from Madrid for Ronaldo, but stated that the media machine in the Spanish capital was causing problems.

"It's not hard to hold onto Ronaldo," he began. "Here at Manchester United we can offer pretty much the best conditions. But we can't compete in terms of ethics - because we won't abandon them. Nor is there the promiscuity between United and the English press that exists in Spain, Portugal or Italy.

"And no proposal ever came to Manchester United from Real Madrid. Never. Our patience has limits.

"Is Ronaldo pressing for an exit? That's something you'd need to ask him."

Domestic Concerns

Carlos also offered his thoughts on concerns back in Portugal.

"The national team? Portugal must always have the courage to reach a place of honour. That defines our attitude. After that, we can go on to try to be the best of the best. It doesn't always work out, but if we have that commitment, I feel proud," he said.

"My turning down club jobs? Portugal has excellent clubs, but the championship is what ruins it. I can't forget the incidents of 1995 that led me to get out of Portugal [the delay in disciplinary proceedings and re-arranged matches]."

Marca just won't let it lie:



Meanwhile, Marca claims that Ronaldo's godfather, one Fernao Sousa, has said that Cristiano is on the verge of deciding that the time is right for a move.

He said, "Cristiano must seize this opportunity to go to Real Madrid.

"I think that he's already decided to do so, but he'll wait until after the Euros before saying anything.

"His main goal is to win everything. That's what he wants - the Champions League in particular, but also going all the way with Portugal at Euro 2008."
 
You would think Ronaldo would tell his Mum and Grandfather to stop giving out stupid quotes to the press, even if that is what he wants.

Ridiculous.

Did someone tell old yella that WE WON the champions league. And there was a poll on the Madrid site or something like that stating that more so 70% of Madrid fans didn't even want Ronaldo. Calderon wants the galactico era all over again.

Ronaldo is bringing this up all himself though. Should stop with this 2 week announcement bullshit and just tell everyone his intentions.

If they're not, then this is the most worrying interview yet :(

I was just thinking the same. Interviews by the player, his agent etc can be seen as posturing, in the hope of a new contract. However his Godfather giving an interview like this means one of three things.

  • He never gave this interview at all
  • He is speaking out of turn, without knowing what Ronaldo has decided to do. It may be a case of a normal bloke having a microphone stuck in his face, and feeling the need to say something newsworthy.
  • He knows exactly what Ronaldo is doing, and has his facts spot on.

I hope it's one of the first two possibilities.

Just got PM'd be a newbie who made the following points about "The Godfather"

First of all, the article said he encouraged Ronaldo to move to Man Utd when actually Ronnie said he was always against it.

He came out in January 07 and said Ronaldo would leave in the Summer. Three months later Ronnie signed a new contract.

He also was responsible for Ronaldo's mum posing with the photoshoped picture of Ron in the RM Kit.

He is a huge RM fan and loathes Man Utd.

He said I THINK, not I KNOW. Remember that.

All of which is (slightly) reassuring.
 
Interestingly enough, here's a quote from Tevez, saying almost exactly - word for word - the same thing that kicked off this recent Ronaldo furore.

The reason this won't be all over the tabloids is because Marca won't spin the living shite out of the quotes, nor will they be door-stepping assorted relatives and bugging the hell out of them until they say that Tevez would enjoy playing for Real Madrid.

Man Utd ace Tevez hints at Spain ambitions
tribalfooball.com - May 30, 2008

Manchester United ace Carlos Tevez admits he has ambitions of playing in Spain.

When asked if he will play in La Liga, Tevez distanced himself from a move in the near future.

"Maybe one day I will play in the Spanish league but there's a long way to go," he said. "At the moment I am happy here.

"I know that many South Americans prefer to play in Italy or Spain when they move to Europe, but I am very happy to have come here.

"It is the best league in the world and here I am with some of the best footballers in the world."

Thing is, he's saying maybe he will, Ronaldo keeps claiming its his dream and his ambition.

To be honest, Ronaldo's gone down in my, and probably alot of other United fans estimation will all this. All he needs to do is come out and tell Madrid to get stuffed, but he's constantly saying things like "The future, nobody know."
 
His mum sounds like a right prat to be honest. They probably want him in Madrid so they can go and live with him.

yeah, there is a difference there alright. To be honest he hasn't gone down in my estimation because I always knew he was the sort of player we would nd up having this sort of stuff with. I've long settled with the realisation that it is a case of when and not if, he leaves us. I just hope we get to enjoy having him in our team for his peak years. If not I want us to get an absurd sum of money, so we can bring in another top class player to, if not replace him, at least shoulder some of the burden that Ronaldo has been carrying the last couple of seasons.

Interview with Cristiano's family where they encourage him to move to Madrid.

Old news. That photo is from last fecking summer.

If the godfather quotes come from the story with that photo then they're over a year old and would explain the weird comment about Ronaldo still wanting to win the Champion's League (the Euros 2008 bit being a blatant embellishment).

Lying, deceitful Spanish cnuts.

But then again, we already knew that.
 
On Sky News last night they interviewed some one who claimed if United want to keep Ronaldo they will have to pay him a whole lot more money -- well he is on a 4 year contract so he's not getting any more --

I think we will keep him one more season and then sell him -- Fergie will not be happy with this sort of messing by Ronaldo -- After all Fergie is the one who sold Paul Ince, Japp Stam. Rudd and David Beckham when they were still good (great) players

Enjoy next season with Ronaldo -- we may be cursing at him after that.

Glad I have Giggs on my shirts!
 
This is quite ridiculous that every player in the world wants to play for Real Madrid. They haven't been as successful as they were for awhile now and i don't understand the major alure of a club which got knocked out by Roma in this seasons CL.

FFS Ronaldo time for you to put an whole end to all this crap. its really infuriating.
 
The AS report with the godfather says he spoke to reporters yesterday, the photos are from months ago. The godfather claims that Ron decided to leave months ago but didn't want to say anything before the CL final.

I think it would be a bad move for us, for Madrid (and most of their fans and apparently several of their players agree on that!) and for Ronaldo it would be a mistake of Anelka-esque proportions.

Flipside I do think he's under a lot of pressure (family, flatterery, financial - the whole f-ing lot) to make that decision and United will have to decide how hard to fight (which might mean breaking policy over contract negotiations, having SAF go visit and various other things that might be construed as going soft with him as well as going in hard on Madrid)
 
Oh I see, thanks. In the meanwhile, Scholari has joined in the chorus. Let's not let this divide us the fans.

"I have told him that in football you cannot live on memories," he said. "You have to take the opportunites when they come along because perhaps they will not come again."

The interview that talked about that was vague (and in Italian) but the implication was that United are protective, and Ron can hide (from the media and everythng else) in the team when he wants to. Madrid wouldn't be as good at that.

Meanwhile, in today's instalment of the Spanish soap opera, Calderon says (one hour ago):
"We can't buy something that the owner doesn't want to sell. And we don't want to get into a row with a friendly club. As things stand - we must forget about it."

While Marca claims (on its frontpage this morning) that the current offer stands at 90million Euros.

And:
Allegedly, Scolari has not only advised Ron not to say anything to the press, he's advised him not to read it and to stay off the internet because it might distract him. Some combination of the transfer speculation and the tabloid coverage of Ron's girlfriend's assets - apparently.

Scolari FFS, this is getting ridiculous. If he wants to move he should just come out with it now... we will still progress either way.
 
tis a tiresome business

Ron hasn't come out of it that well so far. It wouldn't take much from him to stop this bilge.

Indeed, he probably likes all the attention as he is egotistical. I as a fan dont want anyone at the club who is unsure if they want to be here to be honest, best player in the world or not. We won the double as a team no matter how big a part he played.
 
I don't think there's a bigger fan of Ronaldo's skills than yours truly. Our BPITW could have become the best player ever in my estimation.
And now all this again. I've had enough of it. No way from this point on he'll ever rise to that title for me. Very disappointed in the lad and to tell the truth right now I wouldn't be too upset if he went. We don't need this circus and its certainly no way to repay SAF and us fans for the support and adoration we've given him. If this is how he's to be he's better off away.
 
Madrid are pulling out all the stock this time. From the Real Rresident, Schuster, Di Salvo, His mum, His Godfather now fecking Scolari who will it be next.

Spot on.
 
Fergie will keep him here. I don't doubt that.

Getting a bit tired of this constant bullshit from numerous parties associated with him though. The crap his family is spouting is borderline disgraceful. Have some respect for Manchester United Football Club you bunch of whinging cnuts.

That's what its come to right now. We're not baggage to be played with. The club is far more important than any individual, best player or not.
:nono:
 
Ronaldo hasn't said anything wrong. He's indicated that he's happy at United, so I'm hoping everyone will show him the love. If United fans start turning on him for the he didn't even say, then maybe that will give him the reason to pack up. So show him the love, guys!

I think he has a loyalty to Fergie that will see him stay for one or two more season at least.

So what's with this two weeks shit then? He knows the whole world's watching him and he won't come out and say its bullshit.

You don't love people who have no respect for you.
 
It's hard for me to really care whether Ronaldo stays or not. I don't know about you lot but I've never been one for begging and praying that a footballer plays for United.

All the talk and games just bore me. If he wants to go, fine, but not until we get a fecking huge offer. The good thing about him having 4 years on his contract means we dictate the terms.
 
love'em look at my fecking username but if the lad wants to leave so be it, cannot understand it tho, with this current squad of ours we could go on a serious run of trophy's why leave now would be the real question to ask ronnie.
 
CARLOS QUEIROZ has launched another scathing attack on Real Madrid for their ruthless pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ex-Real boss Queiroz slammed the Spanish club as “unethical”.

And his comments came as Manchester United sent a letter to the Spanish giants stating that they would not sell Ronaldo — even if he wanted a move.

United No 2 Queiroz also caused uproar in the Spanish capital after hinting that Madrid president Ramon Calderon is a liar.

Calderon and Real manager Bernd Schuster have both stated how much they want the Portuguese superstar.

But United threatened to report them to FIFA for trying to unsettle their man.

Queiroz also accused Real of trying to upset Portugal’s Euro 2008 preparations.

In his latest incredible interview, Queiroz said: “Ronaldo is not going to leave.

“It’s not difficult to keep Ronaldo. Manchester United can offer the best conditions.

“Where we can’t compete is in lack of ethics — because we have ethics and we don’t abandon them.

“The president of Madrid was a director when I was manager. I know what he was telling me and then saw what actually happened.

“I have the advantage of knowing them. I know the difference between the clubs.”

Queiroz left United to manage Madrid in 2003 but returned as No 2 a year later after getting the boot at the Bernabeu.

After stating that they will not sell Ronaldo, United’s angry letter demanded Real make a public declaration that they would end their pursuit of the winger.

Queiroz insisted Ronaldo would be making a huge mistake if he ever joined Madrid.

Alex Ferguson’s assistant pointed to previous stars who were shunted out of the back door at the Bernabeu when they had past their best.

He said: “Look at Luis Figo, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. Real don’t know what gratitude is.

“If I were the player’s agent, I’d have no doubt about which environment is best. And knowing Ronaldo’s agent, I know he shares my opinion. I’ve not spoken to the player about this issue.”

United legend Bryan Robson also thinks quitting Old Trafford would be a huge mistake for Ronaldo.

‘Captain Marvel’ was in a similar position in 1983 when he was being tracked by AC Milan and Juventus.

He said: “The grass is always greener but I don’t see how Ronaldo gets anything out of leaving for Real. He only signed a five-year deal last year and he’s got 75,000 fans who adore him.”

Queiroz insisted Ronaldo is already a better player than Portugal legend Eusebio.

He added: “He is the best Portuguese player ever. There is no point arguing with fact.

“In five years he has won titles, the Champions League and was Europe’s top scorer.

“It’s now inevitable he will be voted World Player of the Year. Missing a penalty in the European final was the last proof that he needed to enter the chosen few. Only the Maradonas and Platinis miss penalties in big finals!”

Queiroz also revealed that he turned down the chance to be Tottenham boss before returning to Old Trafford.

He added: “I turned down a salary four times bigger than what United offered me because I felt I owed them.”

United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak has been offered a two-year contract extension.

He still has two years left on his deal but United boss Alex Ferguson is keen to keep him long term.
