Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski says when he joined the Spanis club he did not expect that everything would go well in his first season.
left Bayern Munich and joined
Barcelonalast summer in a controversial transfer. The 34-year-old striker has scored 17 goals in 16 matches for Xavi’s side but they failed to qualify for the Round of 16 in the Champions League.
In an interview with La Vanguardia, Lewandowski says Barcelona is evolving and he knows that they were going to struggle in some matches this season, but believes the club can be successful again with time and patience.
“We are evolving. I did not expect to arrive and that everything would go well in the first season. I insist, it is a process that requires time and patience.”
“Obviously I’m not happy, Barça should be in the round of 16. Before coming to Barcelona I was already aware that the first season could be harder than it should be. We are in a process of reconstruction that needs time, we have to be more patient.”
Barcelona is just one point behind leaders Real Madrid in La Liga and Lewandowski says they need to learn how to win matches rather than how to play to win.
“We have to face some situations with more intelligence, in football sometimes you have to know how to win and not how to play to win, and that’s what has happened to us. But these things make us stronger for the future.”
“With everything that Barça have suffered in recent years, you cannot expect everything to change in a month. It needs time and it will no doubt improve.”
