Puchacz defends Bednarek and attacks critics after criticism in the Premier League

Tymoteusz Puchacz gave an interview and talked about Jan Bednarek. The left‑back defended FC Porto’s defence from criticism. Puchacz, Polish defender called up for his national team and compatriot of Jan Bednarek, gave a harsh response to the critics of the centre‑back of FC Porto.

In an interview with Meczyki, the Polish defender of Sabah defended the centre‑back, after some criticism in the last stage of the internationals.

«To me, it’s a disgrace. There were already criticisms when he played at Southampton and in the Premier League. To me, he is one of the best centre‑backs in the history of the national team. I don’t want to assess the period when the goalkeeper was catching the ball. He is fantastic and with him behind me, I always felt very safe. I have seen countless of his games in the Premier League and for the national team and at that time it was fashionable to criticize him. Everyone joined in and it was possible to use Bednarek a little to get easy likes and increase the reach of the posts», the defender attacked.

«He fitted perfectly at FC Porto, goals in the Champions League and is the best defender in Portugal. He is fantastic», Puchacz concluded.

Jan Bednarek is 30 years old and this season, his second at FC Porto, he has played 15 games with two goals scored.

For the Polish national team, the centre‑back has already been capped 79 times, having been called up again for the next two matches.
