Poland boss hails Pietuszewski’s derby goal: “Top finish” | OneFootball

Partnership between Bednarek and Kiwior: “They understand each other very well, especially since they also play together in the national team. Now, Kiwior and Bednarek are confirming this quality in the Portuguese league, feeling very comfortable and thus providing excellent performance for FC Porto.”

Attributes of Bednarek: “He has incredible conditions to play well with his head, it doesn't surprise me. I even think he can score more goals. Scoring goals gives him more security and he ends up approaching all set-piece situations with more confidence.”

Pietuszewski's goal in the classic: “The goal is a really good play. It was a great run that took him into the area where he skillfully got past Otamendi. He did very well in the dribble because Otamendi thought he was going to win the ball, but he ended up deceiving Benfica's central defender. Very, very good play, it was a great finish.”

Progression of Pietuszewski: “He has a lot of talent. In the Polish league, he was also demonstrating qualities of speed, dribbling, and finishing. Now, in the Portuguese league, the level is higher, much more demanding. But on the other hand, he's in a league where the ball is treated very well, it was an excellent career choice. When I found out that FC Porto was interested in Pietuszewski, I was very happy because it's a club that knows how to work well with young players, and besides, having two Polish teammates helps with adaptation. I think he can become a great figure in Polish football, but of course, it depends on the player, he has to know how to take advantage. But from what I've noticed, Oskar has his head in the right place. For me, the important thing is that he now takes steps in FC Porto's first team with calmness, and it’s clear that the coach knows how to manage him. Surely, playing like this, sooner or later he will reach the national team, without a doubt.”
