Robert Lewandowski recently fell into a minor crisis. This does not change the fact that he is doing great this season and will soon surpass his result from the previous competition. At one point, many experts even believed that he would be one of the favorites to win the Ballon d'Or. “After reuniting with former Bayern coach Hansi Flick, he rolled back the years to once again become the most powerful No. 9 in Europe” – provided by goal.com.
Kingsley Coman compared Lewandowski to Kane. Unexpected words
Bayern Munich suffered greatly after Lewandowski's departure in 2022. However, it was quickly realized that the gap needed to be filled and EUR 100 million was invested in the transfer of Harry Kane. Although he did not surpass the Pole's achievement (41 goals) in his first season in the league, he is doing fantastically. But it's still not enough to forget about Lewandowski. Our player was recently chosen by “Bild” journalists as the best Bundesliga player in the 21st century.
So the question is: who is better – Robert Lewandowski or Harry Kane? Kingsley Coman, who had the opportunity to play with both, did not avoid answering. – They are very similar – he started – But I would say that Harry has more influence on the game. He wants to build action, while Robert is primarily in the penalty area – he explained in a conversation with Rio Ferdinand. The Frenchman believes that the two have slightly different profiles.
– Lewandowski keeps the ball well, but he must always be in the penalty area. That's the difference. The Pole is better in the sixteen opponents, while Kane has a better long-range shot. This makes it dangerous almost everywhere, Coman said. So did the Englishman surprise him with his skills?
– Yes and no. I knew he was good, but I only played against him once, so it was difficult for me to judge his quality. When we played against England in the World Cup, that's when I realized how good a player he was. Then, when I had him in training, I could see what he could do every day, he said.
Harry Kane has already scored 20 goals this season. Despite this, he cannot compare to Lewandowski, who scored a total of 25 goals in all competitions. And before that, there will be Sunday's final of the Spanish Super Cup, in which FC Barcelona will face the winner of Thursday's competition between RCD Mallorca and Real Madrid.
