Jan Bednarek named Liga Portugal Defender of the Month | OneFootball

Jan Bednarek, who wears blue and white, was considered the best defender in national football in September and October. Newly arrived in the Portuguese League from the English league, the 29-year-old center-back received this distinction in the months when FC Porto consolidated their lead in the championship.

In the past two months, he was a starter and played every minute in the matches against CD Nacional (1-0), Rio Ave (0-3), FC Arouca (0-4), Benfica (0-0), and Moreirense FC (1-2), helping the Dragons remain unbeaten and not concede a single goal in four of those five rounds, thus preserving their status as the team with the best defensive record in the championship.

In the vote organized by Liga Portugal, Jan Bednarek collected 15.03% of the preferences from the top-tier coaches, surpassing Benfica’s Otamendi (13.07%) and Gil Vicente’s Konan (12.42%).
