Bednarek: “Winning is in FC Porto’s DNA, there’s no other option” | OneFootball

FC Porto will release on Tuesday an interview with the Polish players Jan Bednarek and Jakub Kiwior, but they have already shared some of the observations from these two new signings of the season, who quickly established themselves as starters in the center of defense.

In a conversation in Polish, Kiwior described FC Porto with the word "quality," while Bednarek chose "passion."

"You feel the passion from everyone. Whether in the club or the city. I can't describe the club in just one word," admitted the former Southampton player.

Kiwior also mentioned that while walking around Porto, he feels like he finds "football everywhere."

"You see fans with flags hanging from buildings, on balconies, everywhere. For example, when I was walking near the Luís I Bridge, I immediately realized there were FC Porto fans there. On the other side, there were also FC Porto fans. Fans everywhere... the presence of football is felt everywhere," he highlighted.

In turn, Bednarek emphasized that his teammate's view doesn't capture everything so simply. "You said good things, I think they make sense, but I believe there are even more words to describe the club. The history is grand in this club, as if winning is in its DNA. Here, winning is mandatory, there's no alternative besides winning. I see this as something positive, as it gives you extra energy in difficult moments. I think: 'there are so many people who believe in and support this club, so I have to push myself even harder.'

"It's also nice that everyone here has a single goal and everyone knows that in every game, each one enters with the same idea that winning is necessary. You feel it here, it's not just the players, but also the fans and other people share this thought: winning," concluded Kiwior.
