Francesco Farioli, coach of FC Porto, at the press conference after the victory at Estádio do Dragão, over Benfica (1-0), in the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup: About FC Porto's Polish players «Bednarek and Kiwior are two excellent footballers, who were super motivated to come to FC Porto. When I first called Bednarek the call lasted 15 minutes and then I called his agent to say he wanted to come. Kiwior was also very excited to come and turned down several other clubs, including those from the Premier League, to come here. These are two examples of commitment. Both will be Oskar Pietuszewski's older brothers. It's a young talent that has to develop, has to work. The competitive level is very high. These first days were positive. We are here to integrate him in the best way possible and get him ready to go to the game.” Surprised by Kiwior's good performance at left back? “I'm not, because Kiwior is a very good player. When we returned from Santa Clara, with Francisco Moura injured, I asked him if he was open to playing on the wing. He immediately replied yes. “I’m ready for whatever it takes.” That's the spirit. He has incredible quality on the ball, a lot of confidence, elegance, physical ability. He made a remarkable display. Sunday [contra o Vitória, em Guimarães] Let's see if he plays on the wing or returns to his favorite position as a center back. But he’s a top player.” It's the best moment of Rosario's career «I don't know if he's at the best moment of his career, but he's a team player, who is often undervalued. He is a player that all coaches would like to have. I'm very happy because tonight helped us in two different positions. Maintaining intensity and consistency in the last minutes.”
