“Oskar Pietuszewski? You can’t expect him to score or assist every move” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli, FC Porto head coach, commented on the cases of Oskar Pietuszewski, Terem Moffi, Rodrigo Mora and Gabri Veiga before Sunday’s trip to Estoril’s ground (8:30pm) for matchday 29 of the league:

Oskar Pietuszewski

«I spoke to him after the match against Famalicão, but I had already done so when he returned from the national team. If we look at how much his life has changed in two months, it’s incredible. He went from playing in Poland, at a good club but very far from what happens here, to moving to a new country, in his first experience abroad, and straight into a club of this size. He arrived as a young player to develop over two or three years before taking the next step, but he quickly became a very important player. The level of pressure on his shoulders is very different, the expectations are very high. It seems that every time he touches the ball, people expect a goal or an assist. But he is the same Oskar, the player we knew when he arrived here. He is a player with a lot of talent, but he still has things to improve. The emotions he experienced with the national team, with the goal and his debut, cannot be underestimated. This week helped him truly return to Porto, to commit himself to the team again. In these past few days, he has worked very well and I believe he will help us tomorrow at the level we expect, but without thinking that he is going to score or assist with every play. Everyone, and he first and foremost, has to be very clear about that.»
