Lewandowski.. The Penalty Area Expert Continues to Shine
The Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo' praised Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, confirming that he is still one of the best scorers in the world thanks to his unique ability to move and score inside the penalty area, despite being 37 years old.
The newspaper explained that the penalty area is one of the most complex areas in football, where the striker faces continuous physical pressure from defenders and needs great accuracy in positioning and timing to avoid offside and shoot at the right moment, which Lewandowski masters brilliantly.
The newspaper added that the Polish star continues to make a difference for Barcelona when the game revolves around the goal, benefiting from his experience and ability to anticipate defenders as seen against Celta Vigo, where he scored a goal by following up on a remarkable pass from Marcus Rashford.
The newspaper pointed out that his percentage of goals from the first touch has clearly increased, reaching 57% in his first season with Barcelona, then 72% in the second, and 78% in the third, while exceeding 71% in the current season.
The newspaper also noted that the decline in his speed with age does not diminish his value, especially with the possibility of utilizing Ferran Torres in matches that require pressing and continuous movement, which could help extend Lewandowski's career without losing his significant impact within the team.
The report confirmed that Lewandowski remains Barcelona's primary striker, thanks to his ability to turn every ball in the penalty area into a real opportunity, continuing to write new chapters in his remarkable scoring career.
