Poland boss thrilled with Bednarek-Kiwior duo at Porto: “All going well” | OneFootball

Jakub Kiwior and Jan Bednarek, the new defensive duo of FC Porto, are also the central defenders of the Polish national team. The Polish coach, Jan Urban, expressed his satisfaction with the players' development.

«Everything changes very quickly in football, as quickly as the situation of Bednarek and Kiwior. Kiwior was playing in a big club but wanted more minutes. Janek [Bednarek] was in a similar situation at Southampton. Suddenly, they are playing in a strong club [FC Porto]. They play a lot and together. Everything is going well for them. That's how football is», began Jan Urban.

«It is known that when we play in the same team, we get to know each other better. In the national team itself, these contacts are rare, so this can only help us», concluded the Polish coach.

During this international break, Poland will play a friendly against New Zealand and a World Cup 2026 qualifying match against Lithuania. The two defenders have accumulated 450 minutes together for FC Porto, and since then, the Dragons have not conceded any goals.
