Speaking about his exemplary goalscoring record, he said:
“I’m definitely pleased to have scored so many goals in qualifying, but particularly because it meant we made it to the World Cup. I know that every one of my goals can help my team to victory, so I’m really happy and proud to have achieved such impressive numbers.”
On the expectations that he carries and has to cope with, Lewandowski added: “I’m aware that the expectations grow every time I succeed and with every goal I score. No matter who we’re playing and what challenges we face out on the pitch, everyone expects me to score – and that’s not always possible.
“I know I should always have that hunger for goals. Many people look at my stats and assume that if I scored then I played well, and if I didn’t then I played badly, but I’m well aware that that’s not always the case. It doesn’t worry me.” Jamb Result
