Bednarek: “They played dirty, it was a win-at-all-costs kind of match” | OneFootball

Tasty triumph: “Yes, I think it was quite difficult, considering all the conditions. The pitch was soft, they were dirty, and it was one of those games where you win and go home. I think it was in the first half. I don't think we really managed to break them. There were some occasions. But yes, happy to score, help the team, and keep a clean sheet. I think, as I said, it's one of those moments where we have to win the games and then forget.”

Good connection with Gabri Veiga: “Yes, of course. I was laughing with him. Just give me a good ball. And yes, fortunately, we scored. We train set pieces a lot. I'm happy with Lucho and Lino, who are doing that for us, from the technical team. They are doing a great job. So far, so good. We have to keep going.”

Reaction after two games without winning: “To be honest, after those two games, I think it was a really tough week, especially with Samu. I want to dedicate a goal to him because he deserves it. We are with him. He's going through a tough time, but I think it will only make him stronger. Of course, we had a lot of suffering, like the goal conceded in the last minute against Sporting. Then, the news about Samu, many changes in the team. But I think the guys worked hard and we deserve good moments today.”

More responsibilities due to age: “I think we need to have leaders in the eleven on the field. It doesn't matter if you're 17 or 40, like Thiago Silva. I think we have to give our best. I'm very happy with Oscar [Pietuszewski]. He was very brave with the ball. He dribbled, took responsibility. I think it's a great start for him.”
