Football News: How is Robert Lewandowski's recruitment helping Xavi and Barcelona?
Xavi also revealed that his new striker influences the squad to play harder. He is aware of the third man and is adept at reading space, stated the manager
He appreciated his abilities, humility, personality and habit of staying professional. The Polish international was proud of his performance and resolved to stay focused and score more goals.
He is determined to score in every match for his team. After signing him for a £42.5million fee from Bayern Munich, it seems as if the deal was a bargain despite the player entering the twilight years of his career.
The Pole player scored 50 goals across all competitions for Bayern Munich last season and is now expected to bring the same result for Barcelona.
Robert Lewandowski could be a good fit for Xavi
Xavi became the manager for the Blaugrana in November 2021 and is admired for his dedication to the club. He roped in top signings this summer, including Lewandowski's acquisition.
The star scored eight goals in five matches, thanks to Xavi's farsightedness and relentless effort. He knows the Pole's tactics, including his habit of moving inside and outside the area.
He examines spaces with depth and is a driving force for his teammates, which makes him one of the top three strikers in the world, next to Benzema and Mbappe.
After his arrival, Barcelona has not conceded a single game in the new season, winning four of their five matches in all competitions. They hold the second position in the La Liga table and are at the top of the standings in Group C of the UEFA Champions League.
If Lewandowski remains at his current pace, Xavi's team is expected to reach great heights and threaten La Liga champions Real Madrid.
The Blaugrana are slated to face a La Liga clash against Cadiz, after which they will play against rivals Bayern Munich in Europe.
