Jerzy Dudek tells how Lewandowski will live in Spain. He can forget one thing [WYWIAD]

How does the first Pole in Real Madrid feel about the transfer of the first Polish footballer to Barcelona?

This is a spectacular action. Robert dreamed about it and was convinced that it was a great choice for him. He could have stayed at Bayern as he had one more year with the Munich team, but he got his way. It seems to me that this is a unique event for all Poles, as well as for La Liga fans. Even though Robert will turn 34 in a moment, he still has a lot to give to Barcelona.

The left one scored a lot of goals in matches with Real Madrid. I think that in Madrid they are not too happy about the appearance of Robert in the national team of the Catalan Duma …

Everyone in the Spanish capital knows our captain very well and treats him with great respect. I remember the times when Robert was linked with a move to Real Madrid. And then Krolewski’s fans were very excited about it. There was a lot of talk about this transfer. Nothing came of it, and today it is known that the situation has changed by 180 degrees. I am convinced that Levi will be a huge threat to the royal defense. He has an amazing intuition for scoring goals. And when that quickly picks up in the new league, the next El Clasico could be a big celebration for Polish fans.

Robert Lewandowski is officially a Barcelona player. Contract signed!

You probably remember your life in Madrid very well. What can Levy expect from Barcelona?

This is a wonderful and beautiful city. It’s the perfect place to live and Robert will love it. In a few years in Germany now the southern climate will be a very pleasant change. Even the muscles work differently there… We have a saying “Live like in Madrid”. Levy will change it to “Life is like in Barcelona” and everything will match. However, there is a downside to the coin - in Spain it is extremely difficult to be an anonymous football player. Robert is unlikely to be able to calmly walk from restaurant to restaurant. The fans there are crazy about football and would like to spend every minute with the players. Sometimes it is extremely difficult to achieve privacy in such conditions. But I think that Robert will focus on football for now. He will postpone acquaintance with the charms of Barcelona for later.

Will you support Lew against Real Madrid?

At times like this, I always have big problems. I remember Arek Milik playing against Liverpool and he didn’t take advantage of the perfect situation at the end of the game. Had the Pole beat Alisson then, the Reds would have ended their adventure with the Champions League. However, in this match the Brazilian became the winner, and let me remind you that it was in this season that the British later won the entire Champions League. So, on the one hand, I always support the Poles, but there is a place in my heart for the teams I played for. And, probably, now it will be that I will shake my fingers tightly for the victory of Real Madrid, and I wish Levi to score some beautiful goals in these matches.

Will Robert’s style of play in La Liga suit him?

Looking at the stats on how many goals Levy has scored against Spanish teams, it seems like this could be the perfect league for him. A few goals for Barcelona, ​​a few for Real Madrid - our captain knows what awaits him on the fields of the Primera Division. Although he cannot forget the differences between La Liga and the Bundesliga. Robert will have to adapt to a completely different mood of the defenders. In Spain, the defenders play hard and very fast. There are many tactics and not everything depends on the attacker. As long as Barcelona does not lose its footballing identity, i.e. continue to play extremely aggressively, Levi will see his goalscoring opportunities. There is another important point - acclimatization. Much will also depend on this. How will the other players in the dressing room accept him, will he be able to get along with the other stars of the Catalan Duma? Such questions are always very difficult to answer. Time will tell how things turn out.

Will Robert Lewandowski succeed in Spain?

Our whole conversation is about the star of world football. Robert is a giant who has achieved great success in his career. He won the Polish Championship in Lech, then won the Bundesliga twice in Dortmund. With Bayern, he dominated the German league and also won the Champions League. Why will it change? In my opinion, Robert has a winning gene, which is now activated in the Catalan eleven. All of Barcelona is waiting for this success. Although, of course, it will not be so easy. Real Madrid have been dominating Spain lately and won’t give up so easily. Barça are changing under Xavi and you can see that the Catalan team have high hopes for a return to the title. Here’s what they brought to Robert. We have to say it out loud - the position of Robert Lewandowski will largely determine whether Barcelona will succeed. I believe in him. I think it was the perfect time to change clubs. Now everything remains at the feet of our compatriot.
