The Pole was one of the protagonists of the third friendly of the tour against Juventus
“My body is younger than what my ID says,” the striker commented on his age
Robert Lewandowski attended the media in the preview of Barça-Juventus to be played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas this Tuesday afternoon. The Pole was ambitious before his new stage at Barça, in which he is convinced that he will have no problem adapting to the system and the dressing room. He wants to win titles and write his own history at the Camp Nou.
Questioned by the Champions League, Robert commented that “we must always think about winning titles, but we have just started the season. With the potential and talent that the team has, we are going to try to always be at the top and fight for the titles. We will have to wait, but this season is going to be much better than last. And it is that the striker already feels at home: “From the first day I am very well in the team, everyone helps me, this for me says a lot, I feel very good”. Robert speaks the same language as his teammates: “This language of football is easy to understand and easy to adapt to.” Also, having worked with Guardiola is very useful: “I’ve talked a lot with him about tactics, so it’s easier for me to adapt to any system.”
As for the number of goals he wants to score, he doesn’t set himself a challenge, but “of course I have to do my best, score as many goals as possible.” Of course, “the most important thing is to win games. I never think before I start how many goals I am going to score. We have to wait”. The point is that “I’m very happy to be here because I see enormous potential in this team and I’m sure we’re going to play better and better”.
His four goals against Real Madrid
They asked him, since he arrived in Barcelona, how many times they have reminded Madrid of the four goals: “A few times. Everyone remembers that game, but now I’m part of Barcelona and I know it’s a new chapter.. Real Madrid will be our great rival and the past is there, but now we have to show new things in the future”. On the other hand, nobody has remembered the 2-8 in Lisbon: “We haven’t talked about it because it’s the past and now it is a new chapter, we must create a new future for all of us. It is better not to look back. This will be our idea.”
Younger than he is
Lewandowski’s age, who turns 34 in August, has been the subject of debate since his arrival, but the Pole wanted to settle the issue and did so emphatically: “I feel very good and I haven’t thought about it yet (how many seasons have I remain at the highest level), but it will be a few years. I took a test and my body shows that I am a few years younger than my age says. How many years? I do not know. If you ask me in three years, I will answer you.”
