Bednarek furious: “What does it take for Sporting to get a red card?” | OneFootball

Bednarek voiced FC Porto’s mood after their elimination from the Portuguese Cup, criticizing the refereeing over an incident involving William Gomes inside Sporting’s penalty area. “I think there were other fouls in the opposition’s half. One of them is a clear red card for them. I don’t know what has to happen for them to give it. I think it’s clear and I think it would have changed the game, and that’s it. I think we did everything to win the match. We tried very hard. Yes, it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough and unfortunately we’re out of the Cup,” he lamented.

At the end of the match, Bednarek thanked the fans for their support. “It’s special. I think it’s special, unfortunately, to go out and receive this support. What we witnessed here is something unique and I think all these people in the stadium deserve the best in the world, and I think that all together we will celebrate the league title and we will do everything to achieve it,” he said, without considering the title race over. “If you look at the table, of course it seems close. But we’re keeping our feet firmly on the ground and we know what we have to do. We know we have to win four games and that’s what we’re going to do. We’re very motivated, we’re very focused on the task, and there is nothing around us, nothing around the club, nothing they try to do that will provoke us, that will shift our focus elsewhere. I think that is clear at our training ground, it is clear at our club, and the most important thing is to reach the end of the season successfully,” he added, also revealing what Francesco Farioli told the team in the final huddle. “He was very clear. He was proud of what we had done, of our performance. We gave everything. In fact, we created chances, we played well. Unfortunately, we couldn’t score, and in the end that’s the story of the game,” he concluded.
