One of the most notable changes in the FC Barcelona team over the last season is the role of the forward Robert Lewandowski, as the Pole is no longer an automatic starter for Hansi Flick, and Ferran Torres is getting more game time ahead of him.
However, the Polish veteran still retains his deadly scoring skills, and this was once again on display as the Blaugranes came from behind to get a 1-3 win against Real Oviedo last night. Lewandowski entered the field only in the second half, and scored a goal with only his second touch on the ball, an impeccable header from an excellent Frenkie de Jong ball.
As SPORT has noted, the Pole also talked to the media after the game. He highlighted how the game was difficult, but his team stepped things up in the second half to get the job done:
“In the first half we had finishing problems, but in the second half we played faster, we shot more on goal, we scored three goals, and it was an important victory.”
The Polish striker also talked about his new role and believed things are improving for him:
“I have to do my job every time I’m on the pitch. Normally, we have a match every three days. At the end of preseason, I suffered an injury, and it’s been difficult for me in these first games. I needed time to get back, but I’m patient—the season is very long, and the important thing is to score and to help.”
Despite his less prominent role this season, there is no doubt that Robert Lewandowski can turn out to be a crucial player for Barcelona, not only with his skills, but also with his leadership and experience. Hopefully, Hansi Flick will continue getting the very best out of him as the season progresses.
