Robert Lewandowski spoke openly about his current situation with FC Barcelona in a chat with 'The Athletic' in which he avoided getting involved in his long-term plans
Robert Lewandowski revealed the keys to his great start to the season with FC Barcelona. The '9' has 19 goals and 2 assists in 17 games and expressed his satisfaction at the arrival of Hansi Flick to the Barça bench, a coach with whom he has understood each other wonderfully since his time at Bayern Munich.
"When he tries to explain something, I can immediately understand the way he wants to convince us to play. This is one of the things I like most about him," said the Pole in an interview with the British newspaper 'The Athletic'. In addition, he praised the sincerity of the German coach, as well as his closeness to the players.
"Even with those who do not play, he will try to talk to you and tell you the truth. I think all the players appreciate it because if someone is totally honest with you, you can better understand their decisions," argued 'Lewy', who has had his best seasons as a professional, precisely, with the Heidelberg native as coach.
Lewandowski avoids 'getting involved' in his future at Barcelona
On the other hand, Robert was asked about his plans for the future. The Pole has one year left on his contract with Barça, which is guaranteed if he plays at least 50% of the official matches in 2024/25, but he only thinks about continuing to perform at his best for as long as possible, without making long-term plans.
"Maybe in two or three years I'll feel like I don't want to play at the highest level anymore, but at this age (he's 36) you can't know exactly what will happen," said the Warsaw native. In addition, he thanked the support of the Barça fans in the two years he has been in Catalonia.
"I feel like I'm where I dreamed of being, in the right place with the right people. The way the Barça fans have supported me has been incredible. In the games, but also in my daily life, it has been special," said Lewandowski, who also made clear his intention to always help the club on and off the field.
"
If we take Barça to a better place, it will also have a good impact on me, so it is a mutual benefit and the best way to live my profession"
