Good players don’t need adaptation, commented Pep Guardiola in an interview for ESPN. The phrase of the Spanish coach hides a reality: The best players in the world do not need time to have a significant impact within their team and the ideal example is Robert Lewandowski.
The Polish striker started the season in an impressive way with 8 goals in five games played, being the leader of the FC Barcelona in the opening matches and showing that he wasn’t just making a difference in the Bundesliga. His three goals against Viktoria Plzen are proof of his talent.
Robert Lewandowski, the good ones do not need adaptation
Robert Lewandowski became the third top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 89 goals in 107 games, surpassing Karim Benzema and behind only two legends: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He has the best goalscoring average among the top 7 scorers in the European Cup with 0.83.
Despite the fact that the most important matches are still to come, the Pole has shown in his early stages that he is ready to be the leader of a project that has everything to win the titles this season. His numbers don’t lie and, being one of the best scorers in history, he doesn’t need adaptation in his new team.
