PLDC - Doha, Queiroz was in the stands watching the friendly match between Qatar and Latvia, where Qatar managed to come back from a one goal deficit and defeat Latvia by a score of 3-1. After this match, in a short interview with Al Jazeera he said, "We are going to have a crucial match on June 4th.  I think Qatar have made great progress with Fahad Thani (head coach)."

He added, "Iran and Qatar both have 7 points. This is going to make it a close race. Both teams have the chance to climb the ranks of the table. This is why this match will decide our fate."

The Al Jazeera reporter asked Queiroz about Jose Mourinho and he responded, "He failed this season. I think Mourinho clashed with the media a lot this season to be noticed and get attention.  I have to say that even though he had Ronaldo (who he said is better than Messi), he failed to achieve anything in Spain this season."
