FC Bayern: Lewy not a world footballer? “Great Injustice”
Robert Lewandowski is in excellent shape again this season and, in the eyes of many, should also receive the Ballon d’Or after being elected world footballer last year.
“I have no doubt that he is the best this year as well,” said Poland coach Paulo Sousa in an interview with the kicker. For the Portuguese “it would be a great injustice” if Lewandowski did not receive the award.
“Robert kept his high level,” added Sousa, “not only in terms of goals, but also in terms of assists.” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann had recently hit a similar notch.
“I think he’ll be the best striker in the world a little longer,” he said. Lewandowski is “difficult to compare with Lionel Messi, who is considered the top favorite for the Golden Ball, and Cristiano Ronaldo because they are different types of players.”
For Sousa, however, by no means an argument not to reward the Pole with the award. “Robert is currently much more consistent than the two of them, also tougher, more grippy,” he said, adding: “His influence on the team and the result is greater than that of the other two. By the way, not only during each individual game, but also for the matchday Matchday, week after week. “
After Lewandowski had cracked Gerd Müller’s age-old record with 41 Bundesliga goals in the preseason, the 33-year-old has already scored 22 goals in 16 competitive games.
Lewandowski also received a lot of praise from his colleagues in the national team. “It’s a great time for me because you can learn a lot, you can see what the best striker in the world does, how he behaves and what a professional he is,” said Southampton FC center-back Jan Bednarek , in the Daily echo and said: “I think for us younger players he is a great role model and a player who motivates us very much. He can show us that there are no limits. With hard work and conviction you can reach the highest level and that be the best player in the world. “

FC Bayern, News: Richards talks about loan
Chris Richards has announced his renewed loan deal. The defender was on loan from FC Bayern to TSG Hoffenheim last season.
“It was my decision to go on loan. We had five center-backs at the time. And if I hadn’t been in the top two or three, I would have just served time,” said the 21-year-old in an interview with the US -american edition of Transfermarkt.de.
The American needs match practice to promote his development. “After playing for the previous months, I had to go where I would play,” said Richards, adding, “They respected my decision and they know it’s best not only for me but for them too is when I come back with hopefully 30 appearances. All I can do now is come back in the summer and give them arguments as to why I should be in the starting XI. “
At Bayern, Richards still has a contract until 2025. His loan will end next summer.
