Few players have the luxury of saying that Robert Lewandowski was their replacement. One of them is Alianza Universidad striker Hernán Rengifo, who spoke about his former teammate at Lech Poznán and currently FIFA Best Player.
Speaking on TV Peru Deportes, the popular “Charapa” said that from the beginning he knew that “Lewa” would go far and that he was not wrong. The Bayern Munich striker defeated Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at The Best 2020 awards.
“He (Lewandowski) only communicated in Polish, but he was so crack that we didn’t have to speak the same language to understand each other. He’s a pure talent, you could see from the training. He knew he would go far and continue to break records until retirement “. , he showed Rengifo for TV Peru Sports.
“Charapa” defended the colors of Lech Poznán in 2007-2009, where he coincided with Robert Lewandowski. The Peruvian was the owner and the Polish his replacement. Later, “Lewa” signed for Borussia Dortmund and established himself as one of the best central strikers.
The Polish gunner scored 103 goals in 183 games with the “Bees” and this aroused the interest of Real Madrid, which tried to sign him by all means, but failed. “9” reached the ranks of Bayern Munich.
The Warsaw-born man was vital in winning the last Champions League and this was a point in his favor, added to his other merits, to defeat Cristiano and Leo Messi at voting for The Best 2020 awards.
