DBasia.news – When running his second match with Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski failed to score. Then the coach, Xavi Hernandez immediately opened up on the matter.
Lewandowski continued to appear as a starter when Barcelona challenged Juventus in the pre-season match at the Cotton Bowl, Wednesday (27/7). Both teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Ousmane Dembele scored two goals for Barcelona. While all Juventus’ goals were scored by Moise Kean.
In this match, Xavi seemed to want to maximize his team’s game to help Lewandowski score goals. The Polish striker was only taken off in the 62nd minute when many substitutions occurred at half-time.
The presence of Lewandowski does not automatically make Barcelona’s front line more happening. The former Bayern Munich player seems to still have not blended in with the playing style of his new colleagues.
Xavi admits Lewandowski’s game is still unoptimal. But he considers this condition to still be reasonable.
“We have to look more for Lewandowski, especially when the opponent is pressing us. We need to find him to be more active in the opposition area and this is our goal,” Xavi said after the match.
“We are on the right track but still a long way from winning something. We have to be humble.”
Xavi must immediately find a solution to open a Lewandowski goal account. The longer it takes to open a goal account, the pressure on the attacker will be even greater.
