Change of course in the relationship between Lewandowski and Xavi

The relation between Xavi Hernández and Robert Lewandowski has given a change of remarkable course this season. After a 2022/23 in which the '9' answered with goals to the expectation that generated his signing (mainly, in the first stretch of the season), the criticisms to the forward and to the trainer have thrown earth of by half in a relation that keeps on being key for the immediate future of a Barça in crisis.

In accordance with the information shared by the correspondent of 'The Athletic', Pol Ballús, "Lewandowski feels that his position in the club and his relation with Xavi has changed significantly in the last months". And it is that the Pole has felt distinguished and questioned of unfair form by the bajón of performance of the team, a crisis of results that has delivered responsibilities between the defensive errors and the fault of puntería in attack.

The technical body, "frustrated" by the bad fortune of Lewandowski

To his time, the same Ballús ensures that, further of some 'touch' of the technician egarense to the Pole, so much the trainer like his assistants understand that the '9' has topado with the bad fortune this season. However, crosses between the technician and the forward like the one of the duel in front of the Almería (Xavi asked him that it ran more in the first part) denote the wear of the relation between both.

Of equal way, the one of Warsaw understands that he is the less responsible of the bad results obtained up to now, since the crisis goes through a bad collective operation and does not remain another that apologise to the fans, as he same did it after the defeat in the Supercopa Spanish. In spite of this, Robert keeps on being indisputable in the XI, something that has left clear to base of goals in the beginning of the 2024.

The arrival of Vitor Roque has 'helped' to Lewandowski

A striking factor in the relation between the Pole and the egarense has to see with the signing of Vitor Roque. Lewandowski Saw the arrival of the Brazilian like a personal challenge to have more competition by the titularity and, up to now, the presence of 'Tigrinho' has benefited to the attacker of 35 years to go out of his offensive lethargy. Robert adds three so many in the last parties (one by glass, two by Supercopa) and only remained without 'wet' in the visit to ThePalms , where Roque debuted officially. With the '9', the pressure to see questioned his titularity has given the results expected.
