Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has called for comparisons with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to stop, insisting that the trio are different types of players.
Poland international Lewandowski has been in sensational form at the start of the 2015-16 campaign, scoring a phenomenal 12 goals in just eight Bundesliga matches, and 15 in his last seven in all competitions.
The 27-year-old’s strike rate has seen him compared with La Liga’s leading duo Messi and Ronaldo but Lewandowski is adamant they all play in different positions and that he is only focusing on making the most of the best moment in his career.
He told Goal: “They are different players, in different positions. Cristiano plays offensively on the left side, Messi centrally. I play up front. Of course I work back, take part in combinations and don’t wait 90 minutes for the ball. I want to participate in the game.
“Often I am searching for space for 80 minutes. In the 81st the situation comes: I have space and can score the goal. Or I distract two defenders and create space for my colleagues. This is football, this is a team sport. We work together well, so it is easy for me.
“I am 27 and I want to be better every year, score more goals. My best time comes now. Hopefully it will carry on as long as possible! To be a striker, sometimes it is not easy. To reach the crucial situations, I have to fight in every game.
“My colleagues also take an important role. You are running, see the chance, but you do not get the ball. But you have to stay positive and concentrate fully.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
