Lewandowski Opens Up About Major Changes Since Xavi’s Departure Announcement

Lewandowski: “I’m in the Best Shape of My Life” Robert Lewandowski isn’t having his most prolific season, but the Barcelona striker is currently enjoying a peak moment, feeling confident in his abilities, especially physically. “I’m better physically than I was ten years ago. At 25 or 26, I wasn’t at the level I am now, or was two years ago. I train very well and feel very good physically. If I feel good, everything is easier,” Lewy stated in an interview with TV3. Discussing Xavi Hernandez’s Decision On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski admitted that he, along with other FC Barcelona teammates, tried to persuade Xavi Hernandez regarding the coach’s decision to leave at the end of the season. “We talked, but I saw that there was only one option, and I don’t want to pressure him more,” the Polish striker admitted, making it clear that they will stand by their coach until the end: “It’s also the team’s responsibility. Now we talk more about what we can do to improve and be more effective. We don’t think about whether Xavi will leave when the season ends, but rather, we play with Xavi and we want to win with him.”

His Relationship with Young Players With his experience, Lewandowski acts as a mentor to the younger members of the team. He claims to have a “good relationship” with them and explains things he sees to them before training or on the field. “They are very good and have a lot of quality, but it’s also important to strike a balance between youth and experience,” the Polish striker concluded.
