"Every individual in the club is doing better" - Robert Lewandowski outlines Hansi Flick's impact at Barcelona following fine start to the season
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has outlined Hansi Flick's impact at the club this season. The Polish forward reckoned that all the players are now doing better and feeling much stronger as a unit under the former Bayern Munich tactician.
It goes without mentioning that Flick has initiated an unbelievable turnaround at Barcelona this season. The Blaugrana are the most feared team in Europe at the moment, with their massive victories against the likes of Sevilla, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid taking the football world by storm.
The plaudits continue to rain on Flick for this incredible transformation. Robert Lewandowski is the latest to give the German boss his flowers. Speaking to The Athletic, the Barcelona striker hailed the impact of the 59-year-old at the club this season.
"Every individual in the club is doing better,” he said. “We, the players, are doing great on the pitch. I also think we all feel stronger."
“When you have this fitness preparation we have now, you don’t need to worry about keeping the physical demands of the game and then also think about how to beat your opponent. We now know we are fine, we have the power and the legs to do what we need," he added.
Barcelona's resurgence has been quite massive this season, all thanks to Hansi Flick. The Catalan giants currently sit atop the La Liga table with 33 points in 13 games - having bagged 11 wins and two defeats so far - scoring 40 goals and conceding 12 in the process. They've also won three of their four fixtures in the UEFA Champions League and are well on course to progress into the next round.
