Eustáquio puts Bednarek among leaders like Pepe, Marcano, Thiago Silva | OneFootball

Canada captain in the 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Stephen Eustáquio was asked at the end of the match about the main dressing-room leadership figures he found at FC Porto and who also allow him to take on that role with the national team.

“At FC Porto I was always surrounded by players with great experience, great maturity, and also very impressive résumés. Pepe, Otávio, Matheus Uribe, Marcano, Thiago Silva, Jan Bednarek… I could stand here naming names all day. Each one gives what he can, and I always tried to absorb as much as possible from them so that later I could also try to be a reference point for my teammates,” the midfielder began by telling ‘LiveModeTV’, before later concluding on the subject.

“I’m fortunate that, in this team [Canada], I’m also surrounded by other great leaders. I think we complement each other very well. Overall, we have quite a young team, but with the experience of players who play for big clubs in Europe, and I think this World Cup is a reason to smile,” added Eustáquio, admitting that he would be following Brazil-Morocco the next day.

“I wish my friend Thiago Silva were there, but unfortunately he isn’t. In any case, Neymar is there and we’ll see what he can do,” concluded the midfielder, who was on loan to LAFC of MLS in the second half of the season that just ended.
