LEWANDOWSKI WAS NOT PLAYING FOR THE 90'
Lewandowski was left without scoring again and the Pichichi is getting more and more complicated
In full career to try 'trace back' the Pichichi, Xavi Hernández has substituted to Robert Lewandowski in the last three parties before the 90'.... It can be a 'message' to the footballer in future key?
Robert Lewandowski remained with a bitter flavour of mouth in the visit of the FC Barcelona to the UD Almería. It was not very 'connected' in the party and participated in very few approaches to the area of Maximiano during the almost 70 minutes that was on the lawn. The defence almeriense him 'controlled' quite well and kept him watched so that it did not have opportunities of 'connect' with the rest of his mates.
It was not the best night of the Polish attacker, neither much less, but yes that surprised the decision of Xavi Hernández to substitute him when the party was resolved and the local group began to be quite fatigado. It can be part of the plan of the technical body to give rest to the players after the effort of the Monday against the Real Sociedad and the 'little' time of preparation to visit to the Almería, but resulta odd that, in full battle by the Pichichi, do without Lewandowski to play the ninety minutes.
It is worth it to remember that the ex of the Bayern of Munich adds 17 goals in what it goes of season in LaLiga and occupies the fourth position in the list of maximum artillerymen, by behind Dovbyk (20), Jude Bellingham (19) and Sorloth (19). They are 'alone' three targets less than the forward of the Girona, by what, in paper, would not have to be an excessively difficult task for Lewandowski. Now, with two parties for contesting, seems a task that is complicating .
It complicates the Pichichi for Lewandowski
And it is that they are three the consecutive parties in which Lewandowski has not played the 90 minutes. It contested 79' against the Girona, with a goal from the point penalti, 76' in front of the Real Sociedad and 69' this Thursday against Almería. The last time that played a complete party was in front of Valencia, in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys, when it signed a hat-trick in less than 45 minutes. His performance left to glimpse that it could advance in the fight for being the maximum artilleryman of LaLiga.
The good news for Lewandowski is that in the day 36 only one of his three rivals by the Pichichi was able of 'wet': Jude Bellingham, against the Sportive Alavés. So much Dovbyk like Sorloth remained without celebrating in the direct clash that lived in Montilivi. By behind, however, has to Antoine Griezmann (16) that signed a triplete in the last day, whereas Vinicius (15) put a doublet.
