Robert Lewandowski spoke at Le Parisien of his good performances at Bayern Munich between 2020 and 2021: “I deserved the Ballon d’Or in 2020”. The 35-year-old bomber also explained that the cancellation of the award that year “was a disappointment”.
“That’s how I feel. If you win everything with the team, if you score a lot of very important goals, you can think like that,” he added.
On the other hand, the Pole analyzed his relationship with scoring: “I don’t know what percentage this obsession represents today, but it’s still there. It’s a good drug, because you always want more, you always want to score.” Although he explained that now not scoring “is less frustrating” for him.
“Deep down, I still have the feeling that goals give me more strength. You can’t forget the feeling that you live for goals, that you were born to score goals.”
In another passage, the current number 9 of Barcelona is not entirely satisfied with what he has achieved so far in his career: “On the one hand, I am very proud of what I have done, but on the other I tell myself that there is there is still work to be done.”
“My secret is always the mind, love and passion. When I wake up in the morning, I don’t feel any pain, I feel good physically and, when I compare myself with my peers, I see that I am still at the highest level. I continue to reap the benefits of the way I have been preparing for years, I want to continue at this level, I know I have to give my best in training”, he explained.
On the other hand, Lewandowski analyzed the Champions League quarter-finals: “At that level, when you make these kinds of mistakes and bad decisions, it’s very difficult to compete with teams like PSG. In the first match we were incredible and then …. If you compare yourself with a team and lose because the opponent was better, you can accept it in a different way. But in this match it is too difficult to make comparisons when mistakes of this type are made at this level.”
“I like the development of midfielders, like Vitinha. They have a couple of young attackers who have improved a lot. Their idea of signings has changed a bit and I think PSG have a future ahead of them, even if Kylian were to leave. I think this club will still be in the Champions League and will always be dangerous for all the teams in Europe,” he said of the Parisian project.
On Mbappé he said: “If you compare him with other players, he speaks a different language. He is showing young people that football is not the only important thing. He is also an example in terms of personality. He is a very intelligent boy and very He’s clear about how he wants to do things. I felt it when I saw him for the first time a few years ago. He’s a new model for French football.
“When I see him, I always have a very good feeling. With Kylian you can talk about many things. If you talk to him, you know that he is a very serious boy, with him the conversation always goes in the right direction. Even though he is young, he has already a lot of knowledge”, he concluded.
