Jakub Kiwior: “Everyone at FC Porto shares the same mindset: to win” | OneFootball

Jan Bednarek and Jakub Kiwior gathered at the Palácio do Freixo to talk about their past in Poland, their origins, their first months at FC Porto, and other topics. The conversation, full of stories and good humor, was led by Ewelina Wojciechowska, Polish member no. 152172 of the club.

Calm and attentive, Kiwior spoke about his integration into the Invicta city, recalled the experience of playing at the Estádio do Dragão in front of a large crowd, and summed up FC Porto in a single expression.

First impressions of the city: “The time I've spent here so far has been very pleasant. Both in the Club and outside of it. The landscapes here are truly fantastic. I've already had the opportunity to dine with my wife near the Luís I bridge, and the place is really very pleasant.”

Debut at the Dragão: “[Bednarek and I] had already had the opportunity to play here before, in the Nations League, and even then you could feel a pleasant atmosphere. However, my first game against CD Nacional will remain in memory. The atmosphere was also very good and helped me immensely to get into the rhythm of the match. That and the atmosphere that the fans create before the game, whether it's welcoming the bus or when we're on our way to the stadium. I feel the joy of the people who go to the game to support us, when they are on the balconies with scarves waving at us.”

FC Porto in one word: “Quality. Even when you're walking around the city and visiting, you can see football everywhere. You see fans with flags hanging, on buildings, on balconies, in various places. For example, when I was walking near the Luís I Bridge, I immediately realized that there were FC Porto fans there. I saw the presence of fans everywhere. The presence of football is felt everywhere. It's also nice that everyone here has a single goal and that everyone knows that, in every game, the idea is the same: to win. You feel that here, because it's not just the players, but also the fans and other people who share the same thought: to win.”
