Don't Stop Lewandowski From Joining Barcelona --Hitzfeld

Former Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld has advised the Bundesliga champions to allow Robert Lewandowski join Barcelona.

The Poland striker wants to move to Barcelona, but Bayern are refusing to sell.

Hitzfeld said, “If Lewandowski wants to leave, let him go, it makes no sense to continue together.

“My opinion was and always will be: if a player wants to leave, let him go. It makes no sense to continue together.

“At the end of the day, all players want to be successful. But the entire Bayern environment is naturally upset because of Lewandowski’s actions.”

Lewandowski is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest centre-forwards of all time. An accurate and efficient finisher with his head and both feet, Lewandowski is a prolific goalscorer, which has led him to be dubbed Lewangoalski.

A well-rounded forward, he is said to possess almost all the necessary qualities of a traditional number nine: height, strength, balance, pace, intelligent movement and proficiency with both feet. Although he primarily operates as a goal-poacher in the penalty area, due to his positional sense, ability to shoot first time, strength in the air, and powerful shot with either foot, his excellent technical skills, quick feet, proficient dribbling, vision, and physique also enable him to hold up the ball with his back to goal and either bring his teammates into play, or win fouls for his team in useful positions; despite often functioning as a lone-centre forward or as an out-and-out striker.
