Lewandowski has not had the start to the season that was expected. The Polish striker has only managed to score once in the three La Liga games he has played. The striker spoke about his start in an interview for 'Eleven Sport'.
Although he has not hesitated to be somewhat critical of the team's style of play: "We are Barca and we are expected not only to win, but to play good attacking football. Lately that hasn't been as it should be, so we've been struggling to create more chances in games.... When we see Ferran or Ansu come on the pitch, two players who go forward, we create more chances. Sometimes we don't play enough attacking players, I don't have support... so I look for the best solution for the team".
And he did not hesitate to talk about his current form: "I have to maintain my level, get back on track. It's going to get better with every game. Every season is different and this season is very long. We have a lot of games and I think the important thing is not how you start, but how you finish".
"I think with my experience, I look for the best solution not only for me, but also for the team. I realise that sometimes, if I'm between two centre-backs, it's easier for the defenders. In many games I don't have many chances to score. In the last two games I didn't have many chances, I didn't receive many balls, so sometimes I had to create my chances," he continued.
