The Polish striker and the former Barça player, Robert Martínez’s second in Belgium, were chatting a few minutes after the game
A few days ago, ‘Lewa’, already on vacation, was also talking to Frenkie de Jong
After the duel between the Netherlands and Poland, an image of Robert Lewandowski could be seen speaking with the Barça midfielder, Frenkie de Jong. Logically, nothing of what was said was revealed, but the Dutch midfielder later acknowledged in an interview that he would be delighted to coincide with the Polish striker in the same team because he seemed to him to be one of the best players in the world. You don’t have to be very suspicious to think that Barça appeared in the conversation.
Well, after the game between Poland and Belgium yesterday, a similar image was repeated in the locker room tunnel. It was captured by the Polish journalist Mateusz Ligęza. But changing one of the protagonists. In this case, Lewandowski was chatting with Thierry Henry, Robert Martínez’s right-hand man in the Belgian team. Coincidentally, ‘Tití’ also has a Barça past and the Frenchman has always recognized that after Arsenal the club that marked him the most was Barça.
He arrived at FC Barcelona in the last throes of Frank Rijkaard’s project and lived that last season in which the complacency of the players ended the team but he endured in the squad and with the arrival of Pep Guardiola on the bench he was part of one of the best Barca of history. In some interviews, Henry has always acknowledged that it was difficult for him to adapt to playing on the wing and doing what the Santpedor coach asked him to do, but that he would end up enjoying himself and learning a lot under his orders.
It is not known if Henry advised him to sign for Barça or if Lewandowski asked him about the Barça team and what the atmosphere is like at the Camp Nou. The Polish striker, waiting for news about the negotiation with Bayern Munich, is starting his vacation.
