In the realm of soccer, the rise and fall of a player’s prowess is a narrative as old as the sport itself. It looks like it is now happening with Barcelona star striker Robert Lewandowski in his own country. A Polish outlet has claimed that the forward is no longer the best soccer player in the country. The 29-year-old star player has replaced him as the number one.

The 35-year-old forward has struggled for goals recently at Barcelona under Xavi this season. But, a player of that ability will back himself to recover from his poor form and get back to scoring goals.

Robert Lewandowski hopes to reclaim position as the best player in Poland

In his long playing career, Robert Lewandowski has proved himself as one of the best strikers in the world. He has shown it again and again with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. But he is currently getting criticized for his performances with Barcelona. It has also led to him getting demoted to number two as the best player in Poland. According to TVP Sport, 29-year midfielder Piotr Zieliński is now the best player in Poland. The Polish midfielder has been one of the few in-form players for Napoli.

The Italian giants, who won the Serie A last season convincingly, have struggled this season. This poor form also has led to the owners sacking Rudi Garcia as manager after four months. Despite the problems, the Polish midfielder has constantly been performing well and has remained a crucial part of the team. His performances have also not gone unnoticed among top European clubs. Reports indicate that Liverpool is keeping an eye on his situation.

As far as Robert Lewandowski is concerned, he is preparing to have an actual competition. It is because the young top Brazilian striker Vitor Roque will join the La Liga giants in January.

Vitor Roque aims to fearlessly compete for the striker position!

In the summer transfer window, Barcelona confirmed that Vitor Roque would join them in January 2024. They paid a fee of $44 million for his services. He is one of the exciting young forwards in Brazil with Endrick. Barcelona manager Xavi has also had high expectations. He hopes the Brazilian can have a similar impact to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is where the capability of Robert Lewandowski to hold the starting spot will come into question. It is because, in recent games, he has come under fire for not playing too well. The 35-year-old has also not scored in the last three games. According to reports, Xavi was also furious at half-time against Almeria as he was not playing well.
