Bednarek: FC Porto respect Stuttgart, third in the Bundesliga | OneFootball

Bednarek highlighted the respect shown by FC Porto towards Stuttgart, in another 2-0 victory for the Dragons over this opponent, a result that secured their place in the Europa League quarter-finals.

“It was a tough game, they played well. I think we just had to defend well and that’s what we did, it was a normal game. We knew when to attack and defend well, I think we respected the opponent, who are 3rd in the Bundesliga, can create chances and are dangerous. We have to know how to handle the situation too, they had opportunities. We kept a clean sheet, that’s good,” the center-back began by telling Sport TV.

“I think in the crucial moments of the game we were impeccable. It was a great test, a good match, we defended a bit deeper and had to play differently than usual. We kept a clean sheet and moved forward, we have to keep going and prepare for the match against Sp. Braga.”

Do you believe Porto is closer to Istanbul?

“It’s still far away, but step by step we’ll try to reach the final and I hope we win it if we get there. We’re ready, we can make it.”

1000 games for Thiago Silva:

“It’s a great achievement, he’s a phenomenal player and it’s a pleasure to play alongside him. He communicates a lot and has a lot of experience. I’m not that young anymore, but I know I can learn a lot from him. It’s huge to have him with us, both for the club and for the players.”
