They are different footballers. For me, Cristiano has more points in his favour because he heads the ball well, he is stronger and he scores goals. Messi has quality, dribbles and scores goals. For a coach, I think Cristiano is better because he is more complete.

Pepe

At Madrid we are like one big family. We're all united because we know we have to be, otherwise we're going nowhere.

Pepe

It's normal that people have a distorted image of Cristiano because the press nowadays focus more on the issues off the pitch. But Cristiano is very professional. He is very focused on his football and he follows the timetable exactly. He is a humble man, despite of all his surroundings. He doesn't lose sight of the fact that he's from Madeira.

Pepe

My two daughters were born in Madrid, I won three Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles as well.

Pepe

Is there a team in the world that would not be stronger with Cristiano Ronaldo? I don't think so.

Pepe

I am a man who always likes to win and to defend the shirt of Real Madrid till the very end.

Pepe

Carlos Tevez is a quality player. He fights for every loose ball. He loves retrieving it. He's a fighter on the pitch.

Pepe

Every team dreams of playing the Champions League final - Porto just as much as Real Madrid.

Pepe

Off the pitch, Cristiano is an extremely normal person. When something gets out in the media talking about him... I look and I say: 'This can't be. It's a lie.'

Pepe

In Turkey people really love sport, they only think about football.

Pepe

We center backs had to cover a lot of ground, and we had to be very physical with the opposing strikers.

Pepe

When I arrived, I defended Real Madrid tooth and nail.

Pepe

I have always done everything to defend my goal.

Pepe

I love Real Madrid and their fans.

Pepe

Perhaps Real Madrid fans won't like me saying this but they say Real Madrid fans transmit enthusiasm but I don't think they do. That's not the reality.

Pepe

Real Madrid are an exemplary club. I would never have had the chance to play for this club for such a long period had I really been such a crazy, violent player.

Pepe

When I got here with Real Madrid, the truth is they responded very well. I know that the people like me, they love me, they have a lot of warmth for me. I'm enchanted for that warmth and love they've shown.

Pepe

One of the values of a human being is to be honest and admit at times knowing when to apologize.

Pepe

I love playing for Mourinho. He is honest and sticks to his guns.

Pepe

Little by little I want to become more free and start going forward but I know that the first thing I have to do is defend.
