Lewandowski: Yamal needs to calm down, Rashford can bring us a lot of help

November 5 News At 4:00 a.m. on November 6, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona will play against Bruges away from home. Before the game, Barcelona forward Lewandowski attended the press conference. He talked about his future and some of the team's current situations.

About your future

- I'm feeling good, recovering from the injury and I played a few minutes three days ago. The most important thing for me is helping the team. Regarding my future, I am at peace and thinking about what is best for me. I'm not thinking too much about it at the moment and am focusing on the game.

About your physical condition

- I started the season a little late, but now I am 100% able to play with the team and it is important to stay in top shape until the end of the season. The start of the season was a little different for me because of two injuries. When training I can feel that I am at a very high level. If we perform well as a team, we will be very threatening and can win the championship. I know I can contribute a lot to the team.

Let’s talk about the future

– I’m not in a hurry, the most important thing is my own feeling. Now I don't need to think about the future. I'm very happy with this season and very focused on it, that's my mindset right now.

Regarding the possibility of not participating in the Polish national team

- I have missed some national team game time and I should be grateful for the rest time they gave me. I've talked with the coaching staff and trainers and I'm very happy with my physical condition. In modern football, there are many games. Did

give Yamal any advice?

- I communicate with Yamal often, but it's best not to talk about him right now. He needs to calm down, that's normal, I won't say more.

About your personal stats

- I don't know if I can match last year's numbers, but my goals per minute when I'm on the pitch is similar to last season. At my age, you pay attention to things that you didn't notice five or six years ago. As long as I'm on the court, I feel good and perform at a high level in training.

About the current situation of the team

-The head coach has said that it is not easy for players to miss two to three weeks of games. There are good moments in football and there are bad moments. Last year we gave it our all and repeating that this year will not be easy and we need to be mentally prepared. We are motivated and always want to play well and win games. Sometimes in football you have to win at all costs and I'm sure we'll get back to our best. As long as we work hard, we can win a lot of things.

About the Champions League

- For us, every Champions League game is very important. We have had a lot of difficulties in the past in our promotion process and every morning we are thinking about how to win the game. Brugge are a very strong team at home and we have to go all out and returning to Barcelona with three points would be the ideal result.

About Rashford

- I have seen his performance at Manchester United before and he has great potential. I knew from day one that he would bring a lot to us. I wish he could do better, as good as he is. Not only can he score goals, but he can also provide many assists.
