“We have worked here for three years and the fans are more or less happy with the results, and we always respect them.” […] “I haven’t heard what [Pepe] said and if he said that, at no point has anyone been disrespected in the three years we’ve been working here and to disrespect one player would be to disrespect all twenty-five players. We have always chosen the 11 players we think will win. Status doesn’t play a part here. A lack of respect would have been to not select a player that is playing well in favour of another. There is no lack of respect.” — Aitor Karanka
Cristiano is the best player in the world. He scores goals and wins games continuously. For me it was an honour to play with him because he is a very professional player, who trains more than anyone else, a player who loves football. Cristiano lives for football and it shows on the pitch. Playing alongside him and and learning a little from him has been an honour. [How is he as a person?] Look, for me Cristiano and Kaka are the best players and also two fantastic persons. Both have always been very close to me in the most difficult moments I spent in Madrid and I will always be grateful. Whoever says that Cristiano is arrogant or cocky, is wrong.
