No matter which football league in the world, in addition to their own youth players, foreign aid is definitely a guarantee of the strength of the team, this issue let us take stock of the ranking of active foreign aid appearances in the Bundesliga, Levan ranked first with 370 appearances, and the second place to play 352 times is actually a Japanese.
Lewandowski/Poland 370 times
As the most powerful striker in football today, Levan has been the main centre-forward for Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. As a Polish player, Levan is from Polish Super League giants Legia Warsaw, but he did not play for the Warsaw first team, and in 2006, at the age of 18, Levan went to the less famous Polish series team Pruszkuv Torch, and was not able to return to the Polish Super League until 2008. Levan officially landed in the Bundesliga in the 2010-2011 season, when Borussia Dortmund signed the young Polish Super League top scorer from Lech Poznan for 4.8 million euros.
Levan's first season at Dort wasn't an absolute mainstay, and it wasn't until the 11-12 season that he settled in the main position. After Dort won the Bundesliga Golden Boot, Bundesliga giants Bayern threw him an olive branch, a club that has a fatal appeal for a player who is struggling in the Bundesliga. Finally, in the summer window of 2014, Levan, whose contract expired, did not choose to renew his contract with Dortmund, but joined Bayern Munich as a free agent. Since 2010, Levan has made 370 appearances in the Bundesliga for Dortmund and Bayern, and has won 6 Bundesliga Golden Boots and 1 European Golden Boot with his own strength. From 2011 to 2021, Fabianski won the Polish Footballer of the Year award once in 2018 alone, and the rest of the year was won by Levan.

At the beginning of his career, he played as a left-back, and at that time he was always compared to Alba and Marcelo by fans, and being able to compare him with these two predecessors is enough to prove that the fans recognize his strength. As injuries in bayern have always been a problem, bayern manager Pep Guardiola transformed him into a central defender to alleviate the team's urgent needs when the central defenders were stretched. Unexpectedly, this transformation directly stimulated Alaba's center-back attributes, and finally Arabba proved that he was world-class whether he was a full-back or a center-back.
