There is no bun oven at FC Barcelona. With the team failing in defense in every game and unable to maintain a positive line during the season, painting a more promising future seems complicated. Far from the lead in the League and with the Champions League round of 16 tie against Naples just around the corner, what is most burning in the Barcelona imagination is thinking about the future, who will be the coach and, above all, if It will be from the line of the sacrosanct model or it will arrive as a representative of another school. In this situation Robert Lewandowski dared to make promises. The Pole cannot be denied courage in this sense. Because it may sound like the words of a politician on an electoral campaign.
“It’s a perfect week to take a step forward,” with the match against Celta in the League and against Napoli in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. “We have a match in Vigo this Saturday and on Wednesday we play the Champions League, and this is the perfect time to play better and win. And if that happens, step by step, we will go up,” he seemed hopeful.
Lewandowski made these statements at the Antigua Fábrica Damm, which hosted the closing ceremony of the 18th edition of the book Relatos Solidarios del Deporte, which on this occasion raised a total of 80,993 euros for the Lovaas Foundation, specialized in intervention programs for children with autism.
The striker, godfather of this solidarity project, addressed Barcelona’s situation and acknowledged that it is “difficult to explain” this drop in sporting performance compared to last season.
Of course, he hinted that the move to Lluís Companys has not helped, because “the Camp Nou is the Camp Nou”, and above all, that the team is accusing the youth of the current squad. “We have young players and it is easy for the club and the coach. It takes a little time. We cannot compare ourselves to last year, when we had Busi (Sergio Busquets), Jordi (Alba) and, in the first half of the season, also Gerard Piqué. Players with quality and experience,” he analyzed.
On the other hand, Lewandowski did not want to comment too much on the possibility that the German Hansi Flick, with whom he already met at Bayern, could become Barça’s coach next year, remembering that Xavi Hernández is still, to this day, today, coach of the Barcelona team. “Flick is a good person but now there is Xavi.”
And, then, the promise came by sending a message of optimism to the Blaugrana parish: “Let them have peace of mind, that we are together, we play together, and I am sure that, between now and the end of the season, we are going to win many games, too.” in the Champions League, and in the end we are going to win something.”
