FC Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski recently made comments that could be interpreted as a comparison between his former head coach Xavi Hernandez and current coach Hansi Flick. Lewandowski, who was brought to Barcelona under Xavi's management in 2022, hinted at differences between the two coaches during his time with the club.
Xavi, a club legend, was dismissed earlier this year for openly discussing Barcelona's financial challenges in competing with rivals Real Madrid. In contrast, Flick, who succeeded Xavi, has overseen a positive start to the season, leading Barcelona to a four-point advantage over Real Madrid despite limited signings.
During an international break with Poland, Lewandowski acknowledged the distinct style of play under Flick, stating, 'It's something different, you can tell, we didn't have a game like this last season.' Despite the team's strong start, Lewandowski emphasized the long season ahead and the need to remain focused.
Lewandowski praised Flick's approach of creating an attacking team that scores goals and presses effectively. With four goals in four matches, Lewandowski has matched Lionel Messi's record from a previous season and reclaimed the title of Spain's top scorer.
Attributing his success to confidence and composure, Lewandowski is now preparing for Poland's upcoming Nations League fixtures before returning to action with Barcelona against Girona on September 15.
As Lewandowski continues to excel on the field, his observations shed light on the evolving dynamics within FC Barcelona under the guidance of Hansi Flick, signaling a promising direction for the team moving forward.
