The statements of his former advisor Cezary Kucharski to SPORT1 about Robert Lewandowski are also being picked up in the Polish homeland of the star striker.
„Germany is boiling over“ (Przeglad Sportowy), „This is what Kucharski told the Germans about Lewandowski“ (Sport.pt), „The Germans couldn’t believe their ears. Kucharski revealed the truth about Lewandowski to them“ (Interia Sport) – these were, for example, the headlines of the sports portals.
It is clear that the image Kucharski painted of Lewandowski does not necessarily cause surprise in the Polish homeland of the star striker.
„He is a fantastic player, but not a good person humanly. He thinks he is a king – and that is how he treats other people,” Kucharski said to SPORT1 about his former client.
Robert Lewandowski and Cezary Kucharski worked together for eight years
„Series of Side Blows“ for Lewandowski
Kucharski does not spare „harsh words“ and has a „clear opinion of Lewandowski“, wrote Sportowe Fakty.
„The 53-year-old also presents other stories that are very unpleasant for the FC Barcelona footballer,“ it said at Sport.pt. And: „Cezary Kucharski has added a series of side blows to Robert Lewandowski.“
Above all, Interia Sport illuminated the words of the ex-advisor against the background of the now strained relationship between Kucharski and Lewandowski.
Kucharski had “obviously no intention of biting his tongue” in the interview, the report said. Lewandowski’s former agent “expressed his opinion very bluntly”.
„Never-ending Saga“ Reaches „International Dimension“
The conclusion was: „This is another episode in the long and never-ending saga between Lewandowski and Kucharski.“ The case has reached “international dimensions” due to Kucharski’s decision to speak to a German medium.
Lewandowski and Kucharski were a successful duo for about ten years. The advisor accompanied Lewandowski’s rise from the small Polish second division team Znicz Pruszków via BVB and FC Bayern to the most successful – and best-paid – goal scorer in the Bundesliga. The dirty separation finally came in 2018 – including legal disputes.
In an interview with SPORT1, Kucharski rejected the suspicion that his current statements were characterized by vindictiveness and bias.
Kucharski Counters Accusations
„It irritates me when media representatives accuse me of a lack of neutrality, even though they have no idea about the matter themselves and consider themselves to be objective,“ said Kucharski.
And he added: „For six years, no Polish or German journalist has asked Lewandowski why he portrayed the negotiations led by his and my lawyers to dissolve our joint venture as blackmail.”
As his long-time companion, Kucharski primarily assessed Lewandowski’s role in the dispute over the Polish national team. He does not believe in a comeback of the attacker in the national team.
Robert Lewandowski resigned from the national team after a dispute with the now former Poland coach
Michal Probierz had removed Lewandowski from the captaincy. The 36-year-old then announced that he would no longer play for Poland under Probierz.
The matter developed into a publicly fought Rosenkrieg and a kind of state affair. After Poland’s defeat in the World Cup qualifier against Finland, Probierz announced his resignation as Polish national coach.
