This was good to read and pretty honest from Lewy if nothing else. Im happy hes finally said something on the matter.
It was no secret that Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski wanted out of the Bavarian capital, as much was made of his desire for a new challenge with Real Madrid or Manchester United. After failing to fulfill his Champions League ambitions and being blamed for disappearing in big matches, Lewandowski wasn’t feeling the love. Following a disappointing World Cup, the Polish hitman seemed to be at his breaking point.
In an exclusive interview with Sport Bild (via Bild), the holder of the Kicker Torjägerkanone(Bundesliga top scorer award) opened up about his frustrations with the Bayern brass over a lack of support:
Lewandowski’s failure to be a difference-maker in key Champions League matches, coupled with his poor production at the World Cup, resulted in a sense of alienation from the club. It is true that Lewandowski earned the ire of some fans and possibly also management for under-performing. In the interview, the striker does not mince words or deny his desire to leave earlier in the Summer.
This type of honesty is hard to come by among top athletes, but Lewandowski’s openness about his thought process seems to indicate he is at peace with his decision to stay. He said as much speaking to his current state of mind.
Lewandowski also declared he will never resort to the tactics used by Ousmane Dembélé to force his move away from Borussia Dortmund:
This will come as a relief to many Bayern fans, especially considering Lewandowski’s swashbuckling start to the new campaign. The sharpshooting Pole is not only is at peace with his decision, but four goals and two man of the match performances in the first two competitive matches of the season let the world know that RL9 is back with a vengeance and a Champions League trophy-sized chip on his shoulder.
