Lewandowski: “In my life I believe that everything is possible …”

Robert Lewandowski has given an interview to France Football in which he reviews, among other topics, the difficulties at the beginning of his career, his routine on game days or his options to win the Golden Ball.

Golden Ball: “I was at the awards ceremony in December. We'll see. What I try to do is always show my best, win titles and score more goals. But it is something that comes with collective trophies. That is the most important thing. The Ballon d'Or, I don't think about it. Even if in my life I believe that everything is possible … “.

Childhood: “I was shy and small. For a long time I have weighed around 20 kilos. But it was not that important because what I wanted to do was just play. I was very thin, not very tall. I was always the smallest of the team and the thinnest When they changed the category two years, because, when I was eight years old, the category did not exist, you had to go directly with those of 10. At this age, two years is a big difference. I was physically late. But it was when I learned a lot “

Routine on game day: “I don't eat meat on match day. It's too heavy for my body. So as a light, that's what I need. Food depends on various data: when is the match, at what time … If you eat rice or pasta, it will bring you great benefits in terms of energy in the very short term. But over time, you do not gain anything. The most important thing is that at home or after the game, we do this extra step. Of course, if you try this for the first time You won't see any effect. But together these attentions take on meaning, and that's where all the benefits exist. “

Goals: “In a game, it is not easy (to score). Especially when you are tired. 90% of the objectives, it is the head that works and your concentration level influences. If you are tired, his thinking will be slower automatically And the space-time is not reduced. In the penalty area, we only have 0.1 second, maybe 0.2, to reflect, make our decision and interact with the ball. This is where we got to training, why not there's another place to build automatic movements and shots. Whether they're on the left foot, the right foot, whatever. You have to be ready. You don't even have to think about it, you have to. “
