Bednarek named best defender in the league for fourth month running | OneFootball

After Diogo Costa was chosen as the best goalkeeper of December in the League with an overwhelming vote (39.81%), it is now Bednarek's turn to receive the same honor as a central defender. The Polish international wins this award for the fourth consecutive month.

Signed from Southampton in the Premier League during the summer transfer window, the Porto player had already been distinguished as Defender of the Month in September, October, and November, and has just added the award for December as well.

The 29-year-old central defender started in three of the four matches that FC Porto played last month, all of which were victories: 2-0 in Tondela, 3-1 against Estrela da Amadora, and 2-0 against Aves SAD. The Dragons boast the best defensive record in Europe – only four goals conceded and 13 clean sheets in 17 matches.

Bednarek garnered 25.89% of the votes from the top-tier coaches, surpassing his compatriot and teammate Jakub Kiwior – who received 16.96% – and Ousmane Diomande from Sporting, with 7.14%.
