Wojciech Szczesny has experienced football at the highest level with clubs such as arsenal, Roma and Juventus, but his time in Barcelona provides a unique challenge.
While some people can compare clubs such as Bayern Munich to Barcelona, Polish goalkeeper understands that Barcelona stands in one of its own leagues.
“Levandowski said that Bayern is a large club, but cannot be compared to Barcelona.
“After my experiences in Arsenal, Roma and Juventus, it is difficult for me to say that honestly because I am centered and do not feel any pressure related to playing for this club.
“I don’t feel much attention around me, so it is really difficult to judge. But I think Robert was not lying, ” Stopper (H/T) said FCB World,
On contract renewal
At this stage in his career, Szczesny is fully focused on his responsibilities as a goalkeeper of Barcelona. With a demand schedule that sees the team playing every few days, he likes to pay attention to matters like contract extensions.
Their only priority is helping the team perform at the highest level, and their future will be discussed when the time is correct.
“Contract renewal for another year? Right now, this subject is not on the table. We play every three days, and I don’t even want to think about it now, ” he explained.
Join Barcelona
He remembers his early days at the club when he spent months on the bench, never allowed disappointment to impress his mindset.
Whether he plays or sees from the edge, his commitment to the team is the same. He understands that staying on challenges only causes unnecessary problems.
“When I came, I spent 3-4 months on the bench, and I had no problem with it. Now I’m playing, and I have no problem.
“If I sit again, I will not have any issue. If I believe that I have a problem, it becomes a problem. ,
Help Barcelona
Despite being in the later stages of his career, Szczesny still believes that he can contribute to the top level.
Their focus is not to prove anything to anyone, but is on supporting the team in every way. He gives importance to his role in the squad and aims to make it an impact whenever he is called.
“I am at a strange point in my career, where I think I can still compete at a high level. But I am not here to prove anything or compete. I just want to help the team the best way. ,
Comparison between Messi and Yamal
Regarding comparison between Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi, Szczesny dismisses the idea that they are the same. He accepts Yamal’s immense talent but sees him as a different type of player.
“Am I watching similarities between Messi and Lamin Yamal? No, they are completely different players, and there is no reason to compare them. ,
While Messi was known to score at an extraordinary rate, Yamal’s strength lies in their ability to influence sports through dragging, vision and creativity.
“I am not looking at 50 goals in a season like Messi, but it is incredibly dangerous in each situation. His best quality is his understanding about the game and providing important passes at the right time, ” He said.
Their journey so far
For its time in Barcelona, Szczesny believes that the true evaluation will come at the end of the season. His dream of winning the Champions League is once again alive, and Barcelona’s ambitions align with him.
With the right mentality and determination, he expects to remember this season for both himself and the club.
“How will I rate my time in Barcelona? I will evaluate that after 30 May. It has always been my dream to win the Champions League. For a while, I let that dream go, but now it is back, ” He noted.
