Hansi Flick: “I Am Aware That Lewandowski Is Eager to Win the Pichichi”
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has acknowledged Robert Lewandowski’s determination to secure the Pichichi Trophy, awarded to La Liga’s top goal scorer. However, the German manager has emphasized that while individual accolades are important, the team’s overall success remains the top priority.
Flick’s Take on Lewandowski’s Ambition
Speaking to the press ahead of an important league fixture, Flick stated:
“I am aware that Lewandowski is eager to win the Pichichi. However, the team’s victory is paramount.”
This statement comes as Lewandowski continues to battle with other top scorers in the league for the prestigious award. The Polish striker, who won the Pichichi in his debut La Liga season, is once again among the frontrunners, proving his consistency in front of goal.
Full Confidence in His Star Striker
Flick also reaffirmed his belief in Lewandowski’s abilities, expressing his trust in the veteran forward:
“At the beginning of the season, I expressed my full confidence in him.”
Despite occasional dips in form, Lewandowski remains a crucial figure in Barcelona’s attacking setup. His experience, leadership, and goal-scoring instinct have been vital in the team’s quest for silverware.
Balancing Individual and Team Goals
While Flick recognizes Lewandowski’s personal ambitions, he made it clear that Barcelona’s main focus is collective success. With the club chasing trophies both domestically and in Europe, the German coach expects every player—including Lewandowski—to prioritize the team’s objectives over personal records.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on whether Lewandowski can maintain his scoring streak and challenge for the Pichichi Trophy—all while helping Barcelona achieve their bigger goals under Flick’s leadership.
