King’s Cup: Robert Lewandowski on a bench in a hit match
Barcelona coach to the match against Atletico Madrid delegated Ferran Torres. The Spaniard, 24 years old in recent weeks, has certainly given a lot of arguments to get his chance from the first minute.
In the last league match, won by Barca 2: 0 away from Las Palmas, Torres entered the list of shooters, winning a valuable hit in the added time of the game. Lewandowski did not hit the net, additionally collecting not very flattering comments for his performance. On the other hand, in the context of a Pole, we are still talking about the most effective Barcelona player in the current season. RL9 has repeatedly guaranteed important goals for the team, including those with the weight of wins.
However, the German trainer has already become famous for several surprising decisions during the ongoing campaign. One of them was … Betting on Wojciech Szczęsny as number 1 in the Barcelona goal. After a few months of training, a Pole was given a chance to enter between the posts and replace the well -available inaki pen. Interestingly, it was a match as part of the King’s Cup. Since Szczęsny stood in the goal, Barcelona has not lost a single meeting with a Pole.
Flick believed in Szczęsny, proclaiming him a full -time one in Barca’s goal. As you can see, now Lewandowski will have to add something extra to feel confident again, in the context of the place in the initial composition of the Laliga leader.
