9 - Robert Lewandowski

ā€œI’ll soon be ready to decide which path I want to take and I’ll see what my options are,ā€ he told TV Sport. ā€œI’m calm. I don’t know where I’ll be or what I’ll want to do in a few months. I don’t have to do anything and I’m in no hurry.ā€
Lewandowski is thought to be keen to continue at Barcelona and spoke about how he loves players with young stars such as Lamine Yamal in Catalunya.

ā€œIt really encourages me to know that there are so many young guys over 18 at Barcelona. They give me a real boost of energy,ā€ he added.

ā€œI feel very comfortable among them. I remember when I was a teenager and what I did at their age. I’m older than the parents of some of my teammates. They treat me like a father. It’s funny, but very positive,ā€

ā€œLast season was very successful for me. I scored a lot of goals and won several trophies, which confirms that my level of play was very high.

ā€œMy career is nearing its end, but while I’m still playing football, I want to make the most of it, not only in sporting terms but also emotionally. I want to enjoy the moment and get the most out of it.ā€

[Sebastian Staszewski]: "Robert Lewandowski went to Rummenigge with a group of players and complained about Flick. He also contributed to Ancelotti’s dismissal, because e.g. Ancelotti’s assistant smoked during training, and the training sessions were too undemanding. The same happened with Xavi"

[Sebastian Staszewski]: "Robert Lewandowski went to Rummenigge with a group of players and complained about Flick. He also contributed to Ancelotti’s dismissal, because e.g. Ancelotti’s assistant smoked during training, and the training sessions were too undemanding. The same happened with Xavi"

**Robert Lewandowski has worked with many famous coaches throughout his illustrious career. Sebastian Staszewski, in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski, revealed how the Pole contributed to the dismissal of some of them.**

"Lewy" has encountered some truly formidable coaching figures during his years at Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona. As it turns out, he hasn't always gotten along with everyone. Sebastian Staszewski shares the details.

"He may be a guilty conscience for Pogoń." Rokuszewski on the Arka player

" This madness, this deep desire to win, causes Robert to apply a very simple division to his life: those who help him achieve success are his friends, and those who hinder him are his enemies. If a coach hinders his convictions, Robert generally believes he's right, " Staszewski said.

" If Robert Lewandowski felt that Hansi Flick was hindering his success at Bayern Munich, he went to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the chairman, with a group of players, and to put it bluntly, he was a candidate for the position of coach. I think, in a sense, he had a hand in Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal because he didn't like, among other things, the fact that Ancelotti's assistant smoked cigarettes during training and that the training sessions weren't intense enough. It was similar with Xavi, " he revealed.

The author of a new book about "Lewandowski" cites Joan Laporta. The current president of FC Barcelona revealed that Xavi no longer wanted to work with Lewandowski and expected the Pole to leave the Catalan capital.

"Did Robert decide that since Xavi was no longer delivering, they had to replace Xavi? Xavi knew that. Laporta says in the book, officially and under his real name, that Xavi came to Deco, the sporting director, with a list, showed him a list of players he no longer wanted for next season, and Robert Lewandowski was on that list, " he admitted.

" Xavi knew that Robert Lewandowski had become his 'locker room' opposition. But life proved that Xavi had to leave the club. Hansi Flick arrived, and suddenly Robert Lewandowski had a fantastic season, winning the league and reaching the Champions League semifinals. But yes, when it comes to winning, Robert Lewandowski is ruthless, " he concluded.

While true that there was mutiny on the Bayern ship under Carlo, Lewandowski is mentioned for the 1st time as a part of it. He sure must've known about it but was he Brutus? I doubt it.
Me thinks, he was there the most valuable asset and had he been one of the conspirators, that would have been found out by now. After Ancelotti's departure, and Lewandowski's coming to Spain, the two men always exchanged honors.
But the book has to sell somehow.

That is fair enough but I do remember reading that Lewy, Kimmich and Robben had major issues with Carlo's subpar training sessions.

I don't buy it at all. It makes Lewa look like he was the most important men in the squad. More important than Xavi - the legend.
As neutral as I can be and possibly the least emotionally invested in the club, I can unequivocally say that under Xavi this was a boring football to watch. With Flick, it is fun to watch... From a dropout of Europe League to almost a CL finalist - possibly a triple crown winner - speaks for itself. Xavi was let go because wasn't up to the task.
