This is a player that is 3rd all time UCL scorer, the closest to the statistics of Cristiano and Messi, yet he takes inspiration even from 16 years old player, amazing humility and elite mentality. Definitely a legend of the game
Lewandowski seems to have found perfect balance between humility and self confidence. It's impressive how he is open for every advice but always wants to confront it with his own experience and analyze it from his perspective. Truly inspirational
Robert Lewandowski is one of the most underrated players ever. What he has done deserves so much respect than he already has. Every stats he has is just behind or in par with Leo Messi or Cristiano or even better. This man should be mentioned in all time best striker list.
Yeah, he's getting closer to both in CL goals and he's tied with Ronaldo with 0.79 goals a game in the top 5 leagues which is nuts, very underrated and one of the best strikers in history (not just of this generation)
Yeah, players like Lewa, Suarez, Cavani, De Bryune, Neuer, Ribery, Robben, Xavi, Iniesta, Toni Kroos, Neymar, Hazard, Salah and more got unlucky to play in era of Messi and Ronaldo. Haaland is the most unlucky one because he won a treble in the same year where Messi won the World Cup. Second one is Lewa who got robbed. Honorable mentions: Sneijder 09/10, Ribery 12/13 and probably Virgil van Dijk 18/19. At least Modric and Benzema got their share.
He's underrated because he's polish and because he was playing in bundesliga and everyone thought he was breaking records in the easiest league but guys this man is a legend and he's proving himself now in barcelona at his 36 put some respect on this man's name and career also dont forget that france football owes him one ballon dor from 2020. Amazing interview
Its one od his very little interviews he gives. In Poland ppl are devided about him and his wife and they underestimate his skulle because he doesnt do well for National team nowadays. But world should give Credit to him. For sure he is the best football player in Polish history and one od the jest strikers in the whole history od football. He was robbed twice from getting ballon dor. Anyway he is on his way to gdy that reward in 2025 cause he Has biggest chances now
Such a shame that the 2020 Ballon d'Or was cancelled. Shame on the organisation in charge. They resumed the entire season but cancelled what the entire world knew belonged to Lewandowski. He should have 1 Ballon d'Or, and the whole world knows it
2021 was also robbed.. Messi only Copa America/Copa del rey... Lewandoski season was insane. he won the Golden Shoe... + Bundisliga/Club World cup. Most goals scored in a single season broke a record.

omg this was one of the best interviews of a footballer I've ever listened to. he was so willing to share about all the details about the conversations and players he played with, so so insightful. thank god he never signed for man u xD
This is one of the best, if not the best football interview I’ve ever listened to. Rio came in with very interesting and intelligent talking points, and I’ve never seen Robert as relaxed in an interview as this one, definitely learned a lot about him today even though I was already a big fan. Rio Ferdinand and Robert Lewandowski are two football legends and this was an excellent interview.
Lewy speak Polish, German, English and Spanish. And He found time to learned all above in His very busy career, when some players telling that they do not have time to raise even their football skills.
The most fascinating thing about this interview is the level of sincerity with which Lewi display. What a guy. Great personality, his humility is top notch and i didn't know he's got such a great sense of humor.
I'm Polish and have been a huge fan of Robert and naturally I've listened to hours of inverviews with him but this one might have been really the most interesting one ever, Robert seemed really relaxed and you could sense he's willing to share with Rio who's a fellow football legend and understands what's being said. Great job!
You all Polish have a very good role model, very successful coming from a humble beginning and a lot of good qualities, I wish my country had one like him.

He's the type of guy who, after an hour with a pilot in a helicopter, will know how to fly, or after an hour in an elevator with a doctor, will be able to diagnose a person.

He makes me really proud of being Polish. What a player and what a great human being he is! Truly inspiring! Although it's kinda sad that his career is slowly coming to the end, I'm so happy that I could watch the best Polish player in the history on a daily basis. Thank you Robert for all the memories, emotions and for bringing Poland back to the football world and conversations. Even if you're too humble saying that you're not on the same level as Cristiano and Leo, I know that stats says otherwise, legend of the game and one of the best to ever do it! Dziękuję Robert!
Also Coman, Muller, Gnabry from the CL winning season were unstoppable. The beating they gave Spurs away and Lewy's first goal(how he got there from the wing heel passing to himself over a defender) was unreal.
I will never forget that 5 goals in 9 minutes for the rest of my life and I was very lucky for being able to witness it live. No matter what people say you are a Bayern Legend in my eyes Lewa
Hands down, one of the best interviews I've seen being able to make a person comfortable enough to share about personal/working stuff is rare nowadays 👏
@@thezoexperience2 No, in 2021 also. Messi had medicore season, was stunned that really he recieved the award. He spoke thet Lewy should earn it. In terms of todays "more just" way of calculating votes - Lewy would win with ease that vote. Lewy won all and broke 40y.o. Gred Mullers Record then. He was ROBBED again.
Absolutely killing it with these last few interviews. I never knew his English was so good - makes sense! Great content and good interviewer, letting the guest speak.
Each time I see Robert, first thing in my mind is that match against Wolfsburg, 5 goals in no time man, that performance was unique. And he still scores like he's a youngster, never gets old and I belive he will still going for other 3 years.
Great interview Rio! And nothing but respect for Robert Lewandowski - what a player. Definitely the best Number 9 of the last decade. Without a doubt the most consistent and professional one 🤜🏻🤛🏻
What an amazing mentality! Guy was an insecure boy who spent years building his character. He didn't get great confidence from the start like modern young players have. I'm not some big soccer fan but this guy really inspires me to self-improvement. You can see that years of coaching and self-reflection have built this indestructible character not only on the field but off it too. His career is a true path of a warrior who always remains humble and balanced.
I love this guy, such a wise and natural person, I am sure that if he had been born French or English, he would have at least 2 Balon Do'r by now! His numbers and achievements speak for themselves, Lewandowski has been scoring 40+ goals every season for 10 years like it was something simple, thats mad...Best nr 9 of this generation for me. Rio, i really thank you for this, very interesting interview.
I loved this interview, I really enjoyed how smart, personable, and transparent Lewandowski is. He provided lots of details in his answers and it felt like a conversation you are having with a friend. It also felt like it could have gone forever but was cut short for the show. I really hope he gets that Ballon d'Or.
ILL SIGN A PETITION TO GET THIS MAN HIS BALLON D’OR 5 TIMES. It’s a joke that they cancelled it when all the competitions continued. BEST STRIKER SINCE R9 & 1 OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
I think Lewandowski’s uniqueness comes from his humble beginnings and so-called „cold” upbringing you could experience in the post-Soviet countries in the 1980s and 1990s. Being a teenager back then taught you endurance, metal resilience and above all, gave you a motivation to get out of there and „be more”. What kept Lewy humble is also his gratefulness and drive to improve and learn. He is an exemplary athletes! Such a great interview :)
Stereotypes are the worst because they have little to do with the truth. "Cold rearing"? Some have loving parents, others don't. And it has nothing to do with nationality. And the mentality of Poles, Czechs or Bulgarians is different. However, following the term "cold rearing", I would rather describe the English, where small children spend entire years in boarding schools away from their families. Lewandowski was raised in an intelligent, loving family, I think that many factors contributed to his success, but he owes the most to himself. He is unique.
@@alinam.1710I don’t claim I know everything about his childhood. Neither I know his perception of it. From his interviews and behaviour I can only conclude he loves his parents and family very much. What I meant through using this expression of cold upbringing is that resources in the 80s and 90s were very limited what was pushing people to go and search for alternatives and improvements to their lives. Also, parents were loving and caring, but their emotionality was restrained by daily struggles they had to face at the time. I am not diminishing his parents. I am only pointing at one of the factors that I believe some players who are now teenagers, also in the post-Soviet states, will never experience.
@@olggg9740 Ok. But this is still a big simplification. And what kind of term is "post-Soviet countries"? Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and a few other countries never belonged to the USSR, they had their own statehood, unlike Lithuania, Estonia or Ukraine. Yes, they were in the same system and were subject to huge influences, but they never surrendered to this criminal power and never gave up their efforts to regain complete sovereignty. And the difficulties in the 90s, affected some very much, others moderately, and for others were a springboard to success. And in the face of the same challenges, one person will break down, for another it will be a challenge, a third will react even differently. A small note - Robert lost his beloved father at the age of 16, and it looks like he partially took over his role, he felt responsible.
@@alinam.1710Bro, where are the stereotypes? It's facts. Do you know anything about life in Poland that time? It can't compare to today's life, so there can be much truth in those statement
Intelligent man, Robert.. Really liked the interview. Rio has the skills to make everyone feel comfortable and important: key skill of being an interviewer.
When you actually realize under what type of coaches Lewy worked for, it really explains why he is the type of player he is. He will definitely leave a great legacy in the world of football.
My striker, my legend, Lewandowski is the best striker in the history of football, I enjoyed this interview a lot even though the translation into Arabic was not good, thank you Rio Ferdinand greetings from Iraq. I love you so much Lewandowski❤
Loved listening to him speak. My respect for him was already high but it’s gotten much higher. Top striker, loved that I got to witness his top form even a rival fan
The thing about Lewandowski is he's not a shiny player, he does his job and does it as good as anyone, but playing at bayern for so long it kind of slowed down his brand in a sense, but the real fans of this game know which players are special and there is only a handful of these types of players every generation and Lewy is right there at the top for sure with players like Messi and Ronaldo
He is the definition of hard work and professionalism - Lewandowski was less gifted, then Suraz - but will have better carrier at the end. Suarez scored only 27 goals in Champions League, while Lewy has over 100. Fact that he can speak fluently in 4 languages is confirmation of his workaholic mentality.
I am from Poland Guys but you will remember that this is probably one of the last years when we see Polish player being asked to join an interview with complete Manchester United England Icon=Legend like Rio Ferdinand. This will never happen in my life again. Kudos to RL9 and kudos to Rio Ferdinand - amazing interview. I am Manchester United fan from 1999 and I have goosebumps when I see legends from my club doing such a great job post their career.👏👏
Respect this guy: - Lewandowski is a 3rd player in goal contributions in top 5 leagues in 21st Century (460) - Lewandowski is a 3rd player with goals in UCL history (99 goals) -Lewandowski has the same goal ratio as Cristiano in top5 leagues (0,79) - Lewandowski needs only 2 goals in UCL to become only 1 player that scored min 15 goals for 3 different clubs (BVB, Bayern. Barca) - in last 14 seasons, 11 times he’s won League in a team he played (2x BVB, 8x Bayern, 1x Barca) - in last 11 seasons, 8 times he was a top scorer in his league - Lewandowski is 8th player in international goals in football history (84) - 2020 and 2021 times FIFABest award - 2 times golden boot in Europe - incredible consistency in last 14 years, one of the lowest injury rate of all top players in the world in 21st century - G/A in last 13 years: 11/12 30G 11A 12/13 36G 7A 13/14 28G 8A 14/15 25G 8A 15/16 42G 4A 16/17 43G 8A 17/18 41G 4A 18/19 40G 9A 19/20 55G 9A 20/21 48G 9A 21/22 50G 6A 22/23 33G 8A 23/24 26G 9A - He scored 99 goals in UCL against: 🇩🇪BAY 🇪🇸RM 🇪🇸BAR 🇪🇸ATM 🇪🇸MAL 🇪🇸VIL 🏴CIT 🏴ARS 🏴CHE 🏴TOT 🇮🇹INT 🇮🇹JUV 🇮🇹LAZ 🇮🇹ROM 🇮🇹NAP 🇫🇷PSG 🇫🇷LYO 🇫🇷MAR 🇵🇹BEN 🇵🇹POR 🇳🇱AJA 🇳🇱PSV 🇺🇦DYN 🇺🇦SCH 🇷🇺ROS 🇷🇺ZEN 🇬🇷OLY 🇬🇷AEK 🇧🇪ROY 🇧🇪AND 🇦🇹SAL 🇷🇸BEL 🇭🇷ZAG 🇹🇷BES 🇨🇿PLZ 🇨🇭YB
One of the best Strikers of our generation..this guy is unbelievable and to still perform at the top level at such an age is incredible. A monster on the pitch..Thank you Rio for such a wonderful interview..you are a gem on the pitch a killer defender and off the pitch a perfect host 🙏
This was the best interview of the series. Lewy is a very humble and self-aware guy. Hope we can get more in-depth interviews (from this channel or others)
I really enjoy this podcast, Lewi has great communication in the discussion and good storytelling. I hope he can lift the trophy of Ballon d'Or. Greetings from Indonesia!
After the game, I mean this conversation, one big thing remain in my mind, he is a lucky guy, lucky and smart. Mentally, he meat a lot of people on his road, and he take the best of them. He was born in 1988 like me, and lucky to him to start to talk with big mentality people at this young stage. It’s huge for him, especially because of history and mentality of people who’s survive in Poland. Proud of him. That’s all.
Never say never. Lewy will play up to 40 or even longer. Apart from exercises and very restricted diet He has even sleeping coach. Seriously. All, even very smallest details (e.g. eyes warm up), just to turn body in perfectly (and long) working machine.
It’s been insightful listening to Lewandowski’s perspective on motivation, self awareness, evolution of the game, and the influences of effective managers off and on the pitch. Rio’s timely probes were encouraging as well as inspiring.
Wow, fantastic Interview. I listen it very closely. I understand all what Robert Lewandowski said. I tought he was talking to me. Wow wow wow very brilliant Interview . Just 50 minutes I learn so much from Lewa ❤❤❤
Amazing interview Rio! As a Pole I really appreciate recognition lewandowski gets nowadays from fans outside of Poland because in Poland even though he is our best player of all time without a doubt he gets a lot of hate. I love lewandowski and that he’s playing for my beloved barcelona, Poland will really miss him when he’ll retire and those who hate on him are just stupid. Once again amazing interview and i’ve learned a few new facts about my childhood idol thanks to you💪
Don't exaggerate... nobody hates lewego more.In Poland there is as much frustration as in other countries, don't worry, abroad there are also their haters 😂. You know ludziska sa różni
Amazing to listen to this! One particular thing that I noticed is that Lewa used to do Judo at a young age. Reminded me of Zlatan, but he was doing Taekwondo when he was a teenager. These big strikers and goal machines with Martial Arts background are a rarity in modern football, and you can see how it influenced their game.
Dzięki lewemu poznałem twój kanał. Takiego brakuje na Polskim YT Jednak tez się zasmuciłem, że w Polsce lewy nie jest tak doceniany jak na świecie. To smutne że dalej w nas jest takie myślenie postsowieckie ze jak ktoś jest za dobry to musimy go zgnoić.
A beautiful lecture about football and the life of a football player. He didn't get the golden ball he deserved, some would say even two. However, he was a FIFA player twice. In the era of Messi and Ronaldo, this is a huge art. He is not retiring, but we can already say that he is one of the greatest strikers in the history of football.
Wow. Verrrrry interesting. This guy is a true student of the game. Really thoughtful and reflective. One of my favorite interviews with a current player I’ve ever seen

Although it's kinda sad that his career is slowly coming to the end, I'm so happy that I could watch the best Polish player in the history on a daily basis. Thank you Robert for all the memories, emotions and for bringing Poland back to the football world and conversations. Even if you're too humble saying that you're not on the same level as Cristiano and Leo, I know that stats says otherwise, legend of the game and one of the best to ever do it! Dziękuję Robert!
Great interview with one of the most intelligent and gifted strikers of the modern era.
WoW Rio! This 50 minutes gone like 5. It was like open book about football want you read and read. Amazing interview!
Wow, thanks!
@@rioferdinandpresentsso humble and human and he is still on top !
You bring back the faith in humanity ❤🎉
Even if u love ronaldo or messi.. but simply u cant hate this guy.. he was the one who fights with ronaldo and messi on the same stage for ballon dor
Lewy, Muller, Robben and Ribery what an attack that was.
And Robben and Ribery were already aging, when Lewy joined Bayern. So, they could have been even better, if they all met in their primes.
Also Coman, Muller, Gnabry from the CL winning season were unstoppable. The beating they gave Spurs away and Lewy's first goal(how he got there from the wing heel passing to himself over a defender) was unreal.
@@JS-bh3pzhave to put perisic in there as well he was really important in the 2019/20 season
@@davidfebreeze428 Perisic is such an amazing player!
@ yeah also one of the players who’s truly underrated (not everyone calling him underrated to the point he’s rated adequately)
I will never forget that 5 goals in 9 minutes for the rest of my life and I was very lucky for being able to witness it live. No matter what people say you are a Bayern Legend in my eyes Lewa
Hands down, one of the best interviews I've seen being able to make a person comfortable enough to share about personal/working stuff is rare nowadays 👏
Wow, thank you!
Lewa was ROBBED of Ballon d' Or TWICE!!!
Give this man the award he DESERVES!
Yeah. Committee is corrupt
Once. 2020 only.
Lewa fans ❌
Messi haters ✅
Lewy not Lewa mate
@@thezoexperience2 No, in 2021 also. Messi had medicore season, was stunned that really he recieved the award. He spoke thet Lewy should earn it. In terms of todays "more just" way of calculating votes - Lewy would win with ease that vote.
Lewy won all and broke 40y.o. Gred Mullers Record then. He was ROBBED again.
Robert's dad is for sure proud of him. Amazing carrier.
career.
Absolutely killing it with these last few interviews. I never knew his English was so good - makes sense! Great content and good interviewer, letting the guest speak.
Lewandowski also speaks excellent Spanish, German and, of course, Polish.
Each time I see Robert, first thing in my mind is that match against Wolfsburg, 5 goals in no time man, that performance was unique.
And he still scores like he's a youngster, never gets old and I belive he will still going for other 3 years.
We need to protest and get justice for this man 2021 ballon d'or was called off when they played the entire season
2020. But yes, i agree. Season was fully played. There should be a ballon d’or as well even with no ceremony
It's 2020 Bro. Everyone will agree
Agree 1000%
THANKS RIO FOR THE PODCAST ARGUABLY THE BEST NO 9 AND STILL BEST
Thank you for watching
Norwegian here. I'm going to have to disagree.

Great interview Rio!
And nothing but respect for Robert Lewandowski - what a player. Definitely the best Number 9 of the last decade. Without a doubt the most consistent and professional one 🤜🏻🤛🏻
That's so true. He was extremely consistent througout his career
What an amazing mentality! Guy was an insecure boy who spent years building his character. He didn't get great confidence from the start like modern young players have. I'm not some big soccer fan but this guy really inspires me to self-improvement. You can see that years of coaching and self-reflection have built this indestructible character not only on the field but off it too. His career is a true path of a warrior who always remains humble and balanced.
To prawda bracie
What a pleasant gentlemen.
Much love from 🇬🇪 Lewy
I love this guy, such a wise and natural person, I am sure that if he had been born French or English, he would have at least 2 Balon Do'r by now!
His numbers and achievements speak for themselves, Lewandowski has been scoring 40+ goals every season for 10 years like it was something simple, thats mad...Best nr 9 of this generation for me.
Rio, i really thank you for this, very interesting interview.
Wow! 1st interview I watch with Lewa. What a gr8 guy he is. Humble. Just pure class. Legend
Place of birth is nothing…. Most important is where you play… lewy a lot of time play in Bundesliga….
One of the best non-Polish interviews I've ever seen with Lewy. Well done
For real… We need to start a petition to give this man’s 2020 ballon d’or!!!
I loved this interview, I really enjoyed how smart, personable, and transparent Lewandowski is. He provided lots of details in his answers and it felt like a conversation you are having with a friend. It also felt like it could have gone forever but was cut short for the show. I really hope he gets that Ballon d'Or.
Lewa is a very very eloquent person and so down to earth and smart with his views on society in general
One of the best interviews ive ever heard
As a Barcelona fan, I am so happy to see Lewandowski mentor our young squad.
ILL SIGN A PETITION TO GET THIS MAN HIS BALLON D’OR 5 TIMES. It’s a joke that they cancelled it when all the competitions continued.
BEST STRIKER SINCE R9 & 1 OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
I think Lewandowski’s uniqueness comes from his humble beginnings and so-called „cold” upbringing you could experience in the post-Soviet countries in the 1980s and 1990s. Being a teenager back then taught you endurance, metal resilience and above all, gave you a motivation to get out of there and „be more”. What kept Lewy humble is also his gratefulness and drive to improve and learn. He is an exemplary athletes! Such a great interview :)
Stereotypes are the worst because they have little to do with the truth. "Cold rearing"? Some have loving parents, others don't. And it has nothing to do with nationality. And the mentality of Poles, Czechs or Bulgarians is different. However, following the term "cold rearing", I would rather describe the English, where small children spend entire years in boarding schools away from their families. Lewandowski was raised in an intelligent, loving family, I think that many factors contributed to his success, but he owes the most to himself. He is unique.
@@alinam.1710I don’t claim I know everything about his childhood. Neither I know his perception of it. From his interviews and behaviour I can only conclude he loves his parents and family very much. What I meant through using this expression of cold upbringing is that resources in the 80s and 90s were very limited what was pushing people to go and search for alternatives and improvements to their lives. Also, parents were loving and caring, but their emotionality was restrained by daily struggles they had to face at the time. I am not diminishing his parents. I am only pointing at one of the factors that I believe some players who are now teenagers, also in the post-Soviet states, will never experience.
@@olggg9740 Ok. But this is still a big simplification. And what kind of term is "post-Soviet countries"? Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and a few other countries never belonged to the USSR, they had their own statehood, unlike Lithuania, Estonia or Ukraine. Yes, they were in the same system and were subject to huge influences, but they never surrendered to this criminal power and never gave up their efforts to regain complete sovereignty. And the difficulties in the 90s, affected some very much, others moderately, and for others were a springboard to success. And in the face of the same challenges, one person will break down, for another it will be a challenge, a third will react even differently. A small note - Robert lost his beloved father at the age of 16, and it looks like he partially took over his role, he felt responsible.
@@alinam.1710Bro, where are the stereotypes? It's facts. Do you know anything about life in Poland that time? It can't compare to today's life, so there can be much truth in those statement
@@jacobsss5827Bro, I am Polish. 😀
Great Striker, great guy.
We still miss him in Dortmund🖤💛
Intelligent man, Robert.. Really liked the interview. Rio has the skills to make everyone feel comfortable and important: key skill of being an interviewer.
When you actually realize under what type of coaches Lewy worked for, it really explains why he is the type of player he is. He will definitely leave a great legacy in the world of football.
damn bro Lewa is actually an all timer.
We say Lewy because he is a man
Lewa can be his wife beacuse she is a woman😜😜😜😜
Lewy ! Lewa to w jezyku Polskim żeńska odmiana , Lewa to żona Lewego !
Fantastic interview. Robert is a Legend. As a Barça fan, we're happy to have him in our squad!
Im so sad knowing the end is near. This guy has given me so much joy over the years. Thank You Rob. The best player our nation has ever produced.
My striker, my legend, Lewandowski is the best striker in the history of football, I enjoyed this interview a lot even though the translation into Arabic was not good, thank you Rio Ferdinand greetings from Iraq.
I love you so much Lewandowski❤
The best
Striker
In Uhr world 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Brother 😊
Loved listening to him speak. My respect for him was already high but it’s gotten much higher. Top striker, loved that I got to witness his top form even a rival fan
The thing about Lewandowski is he's not a shiny player, he does his job and does it as good as anyone, but playing at bayern for so long it kind of slowed down his brand in a sense, but the real fans of this game know which players are special and there is only a handful of these types of players every generation and Lewy is right there at the top for sure with players like Messi and Ronaldo
He is the definition of hard work and professionalism - Lewandowski was less gifted, then Suraz - but will have better carrier at the end. Suarez scored only 27 goals in Champions League, while Lewy has over 100. Fact that he can speak fluently in 4 languages is confirmation of his workaholic mentality.
Bs
..Lewy s just as gifted...watch his Dortmund goals! Absolute stunnners!
Best Interview ever featuring a footballer!
Hey France Football, Give this man his golden ball!
Imagine the sceens when he wins it and the person to give it to him is Messi.
I am from Poland Guys but you will remember that this is probably one of the last years when we see Polish player being asked to join an interview with complete Manchester United England Icon=Legend like Rio Ferdinand. This will never happen in my life again. Kudos to RL9 and kudos to Rio Ferdinand - amazing interview. I am Manchester United fan from 1999 and I have goosebumps when I see legends from my club doing such a great job post their career.👏👏
Zgadzam się kolego i niestety nasz naród tego niedocenia, cieszmy się chociaż my ze dożyliśmy takich czasów :)

One of the best Strikers of our generation..this guy is unbelievable and to still perform at the top level at such an age is incredible. A monster on the pitch..Thank you Rio for such a wonderful interview..you are a gem on the pitch a killer defender and off the pitch a perfect host 🙏
Yes....
My respect for Mr.Lewandowski, really humble and funny to have a chat with.
Great conversation by the way Rio, keep up the good stuff
This man deserves his Balon
What a top bloke...
Madrid fan here... respect this all time great...❤
Roberts english got so much better in the last few years!! Super nice to hear!!
So good!
Not only English. He speaks Spanish now as well. German of course as well. Smart guy
absolutely brilliant - both of YOU
He's so so humble, he is speaking as if he isn't one the best strikers of all time
It’s a natural polish thing :)
This was the best interview of the series. Lewy is a very humble and self-aware guy. Hope we can get more in-depth interviews (from this channel or others)
Thomas Müller would be a good shout for an interview
that would be great fun, not only for sure, but guaranteed xD
I really enjoy this podcast, Lewi has great communication in the discussion and good storytelling. I hope he can lift the trophy of Ballon d'Or.
Greetings from Indonesia!
After the game, I mean this conversation, one big thing remain in my mind, he is a lucky guy, lucky and smart. Mentally, he meat a lot of people on his road, and he take the best of them. He was born in 1988 like me, and lucky to him to start to talk with big mentality people at this young stage. It’s huge for him, especially because of history and mentality of people who’s survive in Poland. Proud of him. That’s all.
This interview has given me a whole new appreciation for Lewandowski! He is so genuine!, thoughtful and generous. ❤Thank you!
Shame we never got to see him in the premier league
Brilliant goalscorer
Never say never. Lewy will play up to 40 or even longer.
Apart from exercises and very restricted diet He has even sleeping coach. Seriously. All, even very smallest details (e.g. eyes warm up), just to turn body in perfectly (and long) working machine.
Shame he didn't get the Golden Ball two times he deserved that.
Everyone most not play in the premier league nothing special about English league
Why is it a shame? Not every player has to play in the Premier League
@@EsperanzaDMVhe deserved 2020 ballon dor, not 2021.
It’s been insightful listening to Lewandowski’s perspective on motivation, self awareness, evolution of the game, and the influences of effective managers off and on the pitch. Rio’s timely probes were encouraging as well as inspiring.
Wow, fantastic Interview. I listen it very closely. I understand all what Robert Lewandowski said. I tought he was talking to me. Wow wow wow very brilliant Interview . Just 50 minutes I learn so much from Lewa ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing interview. Lewa seems like a really intelligent guy, great insights, great footballer. One of the best ever!
So very intelligent, no wonder he's one of the deadliest in front of goal.
Great video and interview Rio!
Amazing interview Rio! As a Pole I really appreciate recognition lewandowski gets nowadays from fans outside of Poland because in Poland even though he is our best player of all time without a doubt he gets a lot of hate. I love lewandowski and that he’s playing for my beloved barcelona, Poland will really miss him when he’ll retire and those who hate on him are just stupid. Once again amazing interview and i’ve learned a few new facts about my childhood idol thanks to you💪
Don't exaggerate... nobody hates lewego more.In Poland there is as much frustration as in other countries, don't worry, abroad there are also their haters 😂. You know ludziska sa różni
Amazing to listen to this! One particular thing that I noticed is that Lewa used to do Judo at a young age. Reminded me of Zlatan, but he was doing Taekwondo when he was a teenager. These big strikers and goal machines with Martial Arts background are a rarity in modern football, and you can see how it influenced their game.
46:02
Lewy: Hello my name is Robert Lewandowski.
Sir Alex: Yeah yeah hi hi wdaqedadghhgddkhh😂
By far one or the best and most informative interview by a football player. Brilliant listen well done Lewa and Rio 🎉
and yes one of the best interview I have ever seen great job Rio!
Dzięki lewemu poznałem twój kanał. Takiego brakuje na Polskim YT Jednak tez się zasmuciłem, że w Polsce lewy nie jest tak doceniany jak na świecie. To smutne że dalej w nas jest takie myślenie postsowieckie ze jak ktoś jest za dobry to musimy go zgnoić.
Amazing interview. Thank you Rio! Lewa is our polish prime
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this, fantastic footballer and smart individual!
Much appreciated!
@ you’re become great interviewer bro smashing it with these top names!
Such a thoughtful interview. His thoughts are always matured, logical, and never with ill intentions.
The conversation is so natural and easy-flowing. Great work Rio and Lewy, fantastic interview!
This is the best time you can interview him and I am glad you did with him (Barca Fan btw)
A beautiful lecture about football and the life of a football player. He didn't get the golden ball he deserved, some would say even two. However, he was a FIFA player twice. In the era of Messi and Ronaldo, this is a huge art. He is not retiring, but we can already say that he is one of the greatest strikers in the history of football.
Lewandowski is simply the best number 9 of all time !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Lewandowski Top ❤.
What a Legend and he will be for sure be a Legend Card in those Games.
Wow. Verrrrry interesting. This guy is a true student of the game. Really thoughtful and reflective. One of my favorite interviews with a current player I’ve ever seen
