Lewandowski: Age is just a number, I can play at least one more year of top-level competition

36-year-old Lewandowski has played for Barcelona for three seasons and has become the team's top scorer with 42 goals in the past season. The player recently took the time to be interviewed by World Sports News, reviewed his performance this season, and talked about his future.

How to evaluate this season?

"I think it's an almost perfect season, we won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup of Spain, and reached the Champions League semi-finals, one step away from the final, but that's football. Nevertheless, I think we should be happy, not only because of the championship, but also because of our performance. I believe that fans and those who have watched our game can see the team's fighting spirit in the game. Therefore, I think we should feel very happy."

Talking about the season with the most goals after joining Barcelona

"Yes, I The age is a bit...how to say? So, that's just a number. I feel like I'm in very good physical and mental state. After the injury, I do feel that I'm a little worse than before, but it's normal. We've been doing very well for most of the season. We've had a while of hardship, especially at the end of last year, but it's normal because our team is very young. After losing the game against Atletico Madrid, I said that it's better to come early, not later. If you have a team that young, you'll be safe all season It's really hard to stay in the best form. But from the beginning of this year to the end of the season, I think we performed very well, reached a very high level, and won a lot of games, not just a small win of 1-0 or 2-0, but a big win. And at my age, I'm very happy because I know very well that I'm physically prepared for this season and that I can play at least one more year of top-level games."

Talk about the contract with Barcelona

"I think I have enough time to decide what I want to do after next season, and I still You can play like last season, but you also know that football is like that, and there are some things outside of football that may end up affecting my mind. So, I think it's too early to think about these things now. I have some rest time and then time to do pre-season training to make sure I'm fully prepared for the new season. I believe I'll be in good shape physically and we have a few weeks to prepare for the new season. I really enjoy playing for this team and am very proud to play here. "

What price would you like to pay if you're 10 years younger?

"My life has gone through a lot and witnessed many changes in the football world. I don't think I need to pay for ten years younger, you know? I am proud of everything I have done. You can't compare football today with football ten years ago. I think football changes every three to five years. I know how football works now, and I understand how football works ten years ago or even fifteen years ago. There is a big difference between the two, but which one is better? It's hard to say."

The reason for saying this is that Barcelona is about to usher in a bright future?

"I have a different view. When I came to Barcelona, ​​I knew it was a tough time, but I was eager to play for this team. I knew it took some time to make changes, to improve levels, and to find some effective ways. In the world of football, you need a little time, you can't change everything in a season or two, and to get stability, you always need time."

Talking about Frick

"When Hans arrived , I talked to him and explained to him how I think about the club's status. What he did was to get every player to play at his level, which was not easy for the coach, I believe Hans and all the players communicated and knew that if we want to win the championship, the players needed to play at their best. Many players this season played their level and it might be a little harder next season, but if we can be mentally prepared, I believe we can With more experience to play, things will get a little easier. Of course, now every opponent wants to beat us, we have to be prepared for it. "

Talking about the difference between Frick at Bayern and Barcelona

"As individuals, there is no difference, as coaches, there is a little bit different. I don't think that coaching the top teams exactly the same way of coaching, each team has different players and situations, and I think Hans has done a great job in this, and it is very important for the coach to see which methods are more effective. Hans has always had the idea of ​​how to improve things, not only on the court, but off the court. After all, we are not just players, but ordinary people, and if we feel good, we can perform better. I believe Hans is very clear about how to handle both aspects well, and ultimately if you have a very happy, very happy and in good physical condition, we will perform better on the court."
