Klopp’s way of training Lewandowski to become a goal machine

DBasia.news – Robert Lewandowski’s fame as one of the top strikers in Europe cannot be doubted. At its peak, he helped Bayern Munich win the treble winners in 2020 and won the FIFA Best Player award.

Lewandowski scored 55 goals in 47 games last season with Bayern and he has scored 269 goals in 310 games, according to Transfermarkt, in more than six years with the Bavarian team.

Lewandowski’s great performance and his instinct to score goals as a dangerous predator cannot be separated from the role of Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager who coached Borussia Dortmund from 2010 to 2014.

During those four years, Klopp was like Victor Frankenstein who built a ‘monster’ in Lewandowski. The Polish striker’s period with Dortmund strengthened his ability to score goals.

Klopp has a unique method of giving Lewandowski the initiative to score goals. This unique method involves money as an initiative, Lewandowski stated via France Football.

“The coach gives me 50 euros every time I score 10 goals in the same training session,” said Lewandowski. “That’s how my quality improves, my limits are pushed and I am made to work more.”

But there are also consequences if Lewandowski fails. Instead, he has to give Klopp 50 euros if he fails to reach the target goal in the training session.

“In my first weeks at Dortmund, I often gave him 50 euros,” added Lewandowski. “But in the end, he stopped it because it cost too much money!”

“But for me it is very beneficial because it really helps me to improve the final finish. I was young at that time. Klopp saw my quality and he wanted me to reach new levels,” he concluded.
