Lewandowski: ‘We trained hard in the pre-season, that’s why everything works better’

“We [Barca players] trained hard in the pre-season, that’s why everything works better,” Robert Lewandowski has told the media, via El Chiringuito.

“Flick said he wanted to create an attacking team that play well under pressure,” the Pole added.

There were plenty of reports about Barcelona’s training sessions being more intense than usual last summer. The team also paid particular attention to strength training this time.

Robert Lewandowski has started the season with four goals and one assist in four matches – that’s the best start by a Barca attacker since Lionel Messi’s in 2018/19.

Barca have won all of their four La Liga clashes so far.
