Robert Lewandowski He has already finished the 2024/25 season. And he did it in an extremely effective way – winning a doublet in the clash with Athletik Bilbao (3: 0). Now a few weeks ahead of him to rest and recovery. He gave up participating in the June grouping of the staff because of fatigue and remained in Spain. There he gave an extensive interview for “Mundo Deportivo”.
Robert Lewandowski speaks directly. Yamal deserves a golden ball
One of the issues raised concerned Lamine Yamal. He is a young and extremely talented pupil of Barcelona, with whom the Pole had the opportunity to play this season. Together they created many excellent actions that provided the team by goals. In total, they gained as many as 60 (42 recorded a Pole and 18 Spaniard). – When you look at this lamine from the beginning of the campaign and the one from its end, you will certainly see the difference. He was at a different level in the last three months – Lewandowski began.
Therefore, the Pole thinks that the Spaniard has a chance to win a golden ball. In the latest rankings he is second, just behind Ousman Dembele. – Of course he has a chance. It's just that there are other things that are very important in the Golden Ball plebiscite. It depends on the rules that apply in a given year. (…) For me, a situation in which my colleague from the field wins this statuette would be amazing – he added.
Lewandowski delighted with the attitude of Yamal. He has one advice for him. Crucial
Lewandowski often emphasized that Yamal He makes a huge impression on him and from the moment he first saw him on the pitch. He also mentioned this in an interview with “Mundo Deportivo”. – I remember the moment when he came to us for the first training. At that time he was 15 years old. I have never seen such a footballer in my life, especially so young, with the talent he has. (…) Lamine, like other team players, are already Barcelona players. On the other hand, they are still children – he said. But not only the Spaniard impresses him with his talent.
– He is also a player with a very healthy mind. It doesn't look 17 years. He shows high maturity in tactics, as well as on other issues that we discuss on the pitch. We quickly come to the conclusion that we can improve. (…) Mentally is 23 or 24 years old. I think that in a situation where he will have a desire to work not only for a year or two, but for five, six or seven, he can play at the highest level for many years and gain a lot of trophies – he noted.

Lewandowski not only praised Yamala, but also gave him an important advice, thanks to which he could be dangerous in the next season. – I think it is crucial for him to rest after the campaign that has just ended. I have no doubt that he is mentally exhausted. When you play at this age every three days and at this level, it is not easy – he pointed out.
Certainly Lewandowski will follow the struggles Polish national teambut from the TV. Already on Friday, the white and red will play a sparring with Moldova, and four days later they will face Finland as part of the elimination of the 2026 World Championships. This will be an extremely important meeting, which is why fans and experts are surprised and strongly regret that the captain of the team will not come to the grouping.
