Bednarek: "We had to win and steer clear of the play-off ties" | OneFootball

Evaluation: “There was a task today: to win the game and avoid the two playoff games. This was crucial for the future, we have many games, we wanted to play well, but above all to win. In the second half, we had to control the game without the ball and we did that very well.”

Response to an unstable start: “The opponents wanted to win as much as we did. They started very well, but it is also our strength to show that when we start poorly, we can stick together in tough times, find solutions, and score goals. The first 15 minutes were not easy, but after that, we showed our quality. It was a great reaction from the team and we are very happy.”

Own goal after defensive pressure: “I was very close, I couldn't reach the ball, but I managed to put maximum pressure on the defense and it worked out well. We train a lot on these set pieces, we put a lot of people attacking, fighting for the ball and sometimes an own goal happens. It's part of the game, we train set pieces a lot and it's an important part of our game.”

Europa League title contenders: “Every week we have to prove to the world that we are a good team and it is going very well. The most important thing is to be aware of our qualities and the strength within the group. The most important thing is what we do, regardless of the noise, to continue working every day to take the club where it deserves and bring joy to the fans.”
