Yeah, players like Lewa, Suarez, Cavani, De Bryune, Neuer, Ribery, Robben, Xavi, Iniesta, Toni Kroos, Neymar, Hazard, Salah and more got unlucky to play in era of Messi and Ronaldo. Haaland is the most unlucky one because he won a treble in the same year where Messi won the World Cup. Second one is Lewa who got robbed. Honorable mentions: Sneijder 09/10, Ribery 12/13 and probably Virgil van Dijk 18/19. At least Modric and Benzema got their share.

I think Lewandowski’s uniqueness comes from his humble beginnings and so-called „cold” upbringing you could experience in the post-Soviet countries in the 1980s and 1990s. Being a teenager back then taught you endurance, metal resilience and above all, gave you a motivation to get out of there and „be more”. What kept Lewy humble is also his gratefulness and drive to improve and learn. He is an exemplary athletes! Such a great interview :)
@alinam.17102 ай бұрын
Stereotypes are the worst because they have little to do with the truth. "Cold rearing"? Some have loving parents, others don't. And it has nothing to do with nationality. And the mentality of Poles, Czechs or Bulgarians is different. However, following the term "cold rearing", I would rather describe the English, where small children spend entire years in boarding schools away from their families. Lewandowski was raised in an intelligent, loving family, I think that many factors contributed to his success, but he owes the most to himself. He is unique.
@olggg97402 ай бұрын
@@alinam.1710I don’t claim I know everything about his childhood. Neither I know his perception of it. From his interviews and behaviour I can only conclude he loves his parents and family very much. What I meant through using this expression of cold upbringing is that resources in the 80s and 90s were very limited what was pushing people to go and search for alternatives and improvements to their lives. Also, parents were loving and caring, but their emotionality was restrained by daily struggles they had to face at the time. I am not diminishing his parents. I am only pointing at one of the factors that I believe some players who are now teenagers, also in the post-Soviet states, will never experience.
@alinam.17102 ай бұрын
@@olggg9740 Ok. But this is still a big simplification. And what kind of term is "post-Soviet countries"? Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and a few other countries never belonged to the USSR, they had their own statehood, unlike Lithuania, Estonia or Ukraine. Yes, they were in the same system and were subject to huge influences, but they never surrendered to this criminal power and never gave up their efforts to regain complete sovereignty. And the difficulties in the 90s, affected some very much, others moderately, and for others were a springboard to success. And in the face of the same challenges, one person will break down, for another it will be a challenge, a third will react even differently. A small note - Robert lost his beloved father at the age of 16, and it looks like he partially took over his role, he felt responsible.

I am from Poland Guys but you will remember that this is probably one of the last years when we see Polish player being asked to join an interview with complete Manchester United England Icon=Legend like Rio Ferdinand. This will never happen in my life again. Kudos to RL9 and kudos to Rio Ferdinand - amazing interview. I am Manchester United fan from 1999 and I have goosebumps when I see legends from my club doing such a great job post their career.👏👏

What an amazing mentality! Guy was an insecure boy who spent years building his character. He didn't get great confidence from the start like modern young players have. I'm not some big soccer fan but this guy really inspires me to self-improvement. You can see that years of coaching and self-reflection have built this indestructible character not only on the field but off it too. His career is a true path of a warrior who always remains humble and balanced.

He is the definition of hard work and professionalism - Lewandowski was less gifted, then Suraz - but will have better carrier at the end. Suarez scored only 27 goals in Champions League, while Lewy has over 100. Fact that he can speak fluently in 4 languages is confirmation of his workaholic mentality.

The thing about Lewandowski is he's not a shiny player, he does his job and does it as good as anyone, but playing at bayern for so long it kind of slowed down his brand in a sense, but the real fans of this game know which players are special and there is only a handful of these types of players every generation and Lewy is right there at the top for sure with players like Messi and Ronaldo

To those who make fun of Lewa, highlighting his clumsy grammar. English is his 3rd language, he speaks Polish(native), German(bilingual fluency), English (clearly he understands 100% of what’s Rio saying), Spanish (he understands everything football/game related). How many languages can you speak? No person putting an effort into something as complex as learning a foreign language will underestimate significance of his achievements.❤❤❤

When you actually realize under what type of coaches Lewy worked for, it really explains why he is the type of player he is. He will definitely leave a great legacy in the world of football.

Amazing interview Rio! As a Pole I really appreciate recognition lewandowski gets nowadays from fans outside of Poland because in Poland even though he is our best player of all time without a doubt he gets a lot of hate. I love lewandowski and that he’s playing for my beloved barcelona, Poland will really miss him when he’ll retire and those who hate on him are just stupid. Once again amazing interview and i’ve learned a few new facts about my childhood idol thanks to you💪

Amazing to listen to this! One particular thing that I noticed is that Lewa used to do Judo at a young age. Reminded me of Zlatan, but he was doing Taekwondo when he was a teenager. These big strikers and goal machines with Martial Arts background are a rarity in modern football, and you can see how it influenced their game.

After the game, I mean this conversation, one big thing remain in my mind, he is a lucky guy, lucky and smart. Mentally, he meat a lot of people on his road, and he take the best of them. He was born in 1988 like me, and lucky to him to start to talk with big mentality people at this young stage. It’s huge for him, especially because of history and mentality of people who’s survive in Poland. Proud of him. That’s all.

A beautiful lecture about football and the life of a football player. He didn't get the golden ball he deserved, some would say even two. However, he was a FIFA player twice. In the era of Messi and Ronaldo, this is a huge art. He is not retiring, but we can already say that he is one of the greatest strikers in the history of football.
