LEWANDOWSKI, WITHOUT EFFECTIVENESS FOR BARÇA
Lewandowski's 'reality' that alerts Barça
Robert Lewandowski's impact is being minimal at FC Barcelona. Beyond his -negative- records, the Pole has ceased to be the offensive reference for the Blaugrana and has opened a new debate
Robert Lewandowski was the signing crashes of the FC Barcelona in the past season. It arrived like one of the best players of Europe and like a forward that had the goal like religion. His regularity and proof in the Bayern of Munich went back him the ideal candidate to cover the fault of goal with which had remained the team after the exit of Lionel Messi. It began his stage of historical way, with the goals falling of the pocket, but now his intermittence has left him in a quite complicated point.
And it is that it can not be casualidad that, for example, in front of the Port wine in the Champions League (2-1), the Barça added 20 finish and one only have been of the Polish forward, and that finish blocando Pepe. The reality and actuality of the '9' begins to scare and causes to question what can be happening so that it was so 'desconectado' in the small area. With data of 'Relief', in the continental tournament registers 2,4 shots by party (of 4,5 in the 22/23), 5 touch in contrary area, of 12, as well as 2,7 losses in each clash, by the 2,2 of the past course. In LaLiga, the history is not much more positive.
What is happening with Lewandowski?
They are many the factors that have gone in at stake so that we are seeing to a Lewandowski entirely distinct to the that there was 'enamoured' to the Barça when it arrived in the summer of 2022. And it is that, where more comfortable has been always, is in the small area. Near of the point penalti, where can finish more and have a lot of more inciencia. It remains the feeling that the team has him 'pushed' much more far and that very few times appears near of the frontal.
'Lewy' Has had to 'learn' to do long routes. The result? When it arrives to the area is much more fatigado and without shine to define. They are too many efforts 'extra' and neither is accustomed, neither gives him the body. This, added to that, in a lot of cases, his mates avoid to accelerate the passes for 'activate him' in the area because they are conscious that, in the last months, has been a machine to lose duels, is conditioning him more than the account. They are more times that, by this same situation, the player has remained happening unobserved.
The Barça needs to Lewandowski
The true is that the player of 35 alone years has been able to annotate two goals in his last ten presentations and are registers that invite to the reflection. The '9' has to step forward, but also remains by part of Xavi Hernández find the formula to find him more and that have more incidence. For the moment, it is happening careless... And it is a damage also for the team.
