Robert Lewandowskistriker of Barcelonagave a long interview to Barca One to celebrate 50 goals with the Blaugrana: “It makes me very proud to score so many goals for a club like Barcelona in a year and a half. When I think about my goals and the time I spent here I feel, I repeat, very proud of this club. Each of these goals has a special meaning for me and it is a privilege to score goals for Barça.”
Lewandowski he continues: “I have to say that I never thought about how many goals I would score. But if you see these numbers, wow, that’s 50 goals for Barça in one year. It could always be better, but these are already very good numbers. Obviously I think I can being able to score more and more, but when I look back I can feel proud.”
50 goals in 79 games for Lewandowskiwho surpassed Villa: “Oh, it’s special, because when I see other names who reached those numbers like Thierry Henry or David, who were incredible and among the best in history… Being at the same level or scoring more goals than they are incredible. That was the place I wanted to be, you know, the idols I had when I was young. It was something I dreamed of as a child and now it’s a reality. .
Sweet words for Barcelona from Lewandowski: “It means a lot to be a Barça player, sometimes it’s difficult to find the exact word, but you know, it’s pride, happiness. It’s special to be here and be the striker of this type of club because of its history. When people talk about this club you realize that it is the biggest club in the world and being part of it makes me better, it gives me more energy to work hard and do something special.”
Lewandowski he is convinced that he can adapt to any style of play to find ways to score more easily: “I think it doesn’t depend on me because I am an attacker who can play in all formations. I can play on the counterattack, I have no problems playing with the possession of the ball… It’s more important how the team will play, you know. It’s not about Barcelona’s DNA, now in football you have to adapt to the game, to the opponent and find the best solution. The important thing is how the team plays and how I can adapt, because I always try to find the simplest solution and the fastest way to score goals. I have been working hard for years, now I can say that 20% of your success is due to your talent or instinct and I knew that only I could make myself better. In football you will never be the perfect player. The frequency and number of times you work on this aspect is more important, even in the skills you are better at I know my age is not. .It doesn’t matter how much I work, but I still have the feeling that I want to work hard and I want to be better. If you have passion, love for this sport, the desire to wake up to train and win for this club you are on the right path. I feel like I still have this passion that I had years ago.”
