Analyzing Lewandowski’s Struggles: Barca Fans Discuss Winger Selfishness and Xavi’s Call for Connection
Recent discussions surrounding Robert Lewandowski’s challenges on the pitch, notably in the Porto game, prompt a closer examination of the striker’s predicament—specifically, the lack of supply. A Barca fan named Mangojuss on Reddit highlights an instance of perceived selfishness from Joao Felix, shedding light on the dynamics affecting Lewandowski’s performance.
The fan showcases a play where Felix opts for an alternative instead of delivering a crucial pass to Lewandowski, leaving the striker in a prime position. The subsequent events, including Cancelo passing back to Felix, culminate in a missed opportunity. Frustration is evident on Lewandowski’s face, prompting the fan to assert, “Lewandowski has a right to be disappointed when this happens.”
Reddit responses align with Mangojuss’s perspective:
transient_jet_lag emphasizes the wingers’ individual focus over team play, stating, “Felix, Ferran, and even Raphinha all feel like they have something to prove.”
SomewhereExisting121 acknowledges the challenges faced by Lewandowski, noting, “People expect a 36-year-old guy who barely gets the ball in good situations to score when he only gets passes as a last resort.”
fellowSoci expresses sympathy for Xavi, stating, “I felt sad for Xavi for the entire match.”
Post-game, Xavi emphasized the need for Barca players to actively seek out Lewandowski, urging better connectivity and increased chances for the seasoned striker.
