Diario SPORT reports that Robert Lewandowski, now 36 years old, is being strategically rested in order to preserve his energy for crucial moments later in the season.
While some may have found it surprising that Lewandowski was substituted 20 minutes before the end of the Valladolid match, this decision was actually a planned tactic in a strategy developed by Flick and Lewandowski.
Despite the close relationship they built during their time at Bayern Munich, Flick understands the importance of carefully managing the forward’s playing time.
Flick’s goal is to ensure that Lewandowski remains in peak condition so he can have a crucial influence when it truly matters.
Lewandowski has shown excitement about the club’s dedication to improving the team’s physical condition, a goal that aligns with his own high standards for professionalism.
After scoring four goals in four games already, Lewandowski is hopeful that this strategy will help him exceed his total from the last season.
