Levan: I can work with Mueller with my eyes closed; the next goal is to score the key goal in the final

Bayern striker Lewandowski spoke in an exclusive interview with The Turin Sport yesterday, where he talked about his feelings about being elected Metropolitan Sports Player of the Year and Bayern's goals this season.

Good morning, congratulations on winning Golden Player for the second year in a row, how do you feel?

It's a great honor and a wonderful feeling, and this award means a lot to me, and I want to thank the judges.

The Golden Player Awards in 2021 are more valuable than in 2020, as this time the judges include some Managers of European Football, as well as former football stars such as: Shevchenko, Butragueño, Rui Costa, Nedved, Chapu Issath, Luka Tony, Eto'o, Mateus, Stoichkov, Van der Sar, Perón, and CostaKuta...

They are all exceptional champions and have a real understanding of football, so their votes are very precious, and I am glad that the judges gave me the award for the best player, and their judgment was very reliable and objective.

Considering you didn't win the Golden Globes this year, would you feel that Golden Player was just a consolation prize?

This is certainly not a consolation award, but an important recognition, which is incredible, because the judges of this award are legendary stars in football.

In an interview with Turin Sport, Rummenigge said: "Levan deserves the Ballon d'Or, he is the best player of 2021, breaking The 40-goal record of Gade Müller"

I dreamed of breaking the Gad Mueller record at the beginning of last season, and even though I missed a few games with an injury, I found that the record was right in front of me, and sometimes when you're particularly hungry for something, it doesn't come...

So I thought about the game against Augsburg, when my teammates were trying to help me score, but I just couldn't score the ball, and finally in the 90th minute, I scored my 41st goal, setting a new record.

I felt like it was like a movie, and there was suspense until the last moment, and it was a special moment for me, and I will always remember it.

You've won the "Golden Player" award for two consecutive years, and if you win again next year, we'll have to change our name to the "Golden Lewandowski Award"...

That's fine, and I hope to win again in 2022! I would love to have a "Golden Levin Award". [Laughs]

Which of your favorite goals did you score in 2021?

The goal against Augsburg was the most important, but the most wonderful was the barb goal against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, which I had never scored in that way, and it was difficult because the weather was bad and it was snowing during the game.

How many goals do you want to score this season?

I've never had an exact number in my head, I just want to try to play at the best level in every game and score as many goals as possible. I've always dreamed of taking a barb like I did in Kiev, but now I've done it, so next I want to score a decisive goal in the final.

Do you prefer to win another Champions League title or a 10th Bundesliga title?

I want both!

Which teams are you most afraid of in the Champions League?

Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, I know we have to beat these teams to win the Champions League, and although it's difficult, we'll try to do it in 2022.

Why did you score so many goals? Is it because of strong learning ability, or is it because you work hard, or do you rely on instinct?

In fact, it is a combination of various factors: such as instinct, the feeling of the ball, repeated practice, hard training, but also more observation, and most importantly, your love for the cause.

Which Bayern teammate would you most like to thank for the assist?

I played with Thomas Mueller for a long time, and even with my eyes closed, we could understand each other, he knew how I played, he knew how I would run, he knew where I wanted to catch the ball, and I knew him as well.

What are your goals for 2022?

As in recent years, the goal is to win as many championships as possible, score as many goals as possible and make the fans happy.

What does Bayern new coach Nagelsmann bring to the team?

He attaches great importance to tactical changes and uses them flexibly in the game, and he can quickly adapt to various situations in the game.

How do you maintain your body? What have you given up for this?

Mainly in terms of diet, I strictly follow the recipes assigned to me by my wife Anna, who is a dietitian who is usually responsible for helping me maintain my figure and deciding what I have to eat and when to eat, so I will avoid unhealthy foods and lactose, which I must say has helped me a lot to maintain my physical condition.
