For several years, he has been at the forefront of the best footballers in the world. The Pole is breaking new records, even those that seemed unbeatable until recently. Were it not for the extremely controversial decision of the editorial office of “France Football” to cancel the Golden Ball plebiscite in 2020, it would also have won this most important trophy in the world of football.
The Italian club was trying to get Lewandowski. “This is my greatest regret”
Lewandowski sailed to the wide waters in the domestic yard in the colors of the first-league Znicz Pruszków. It was from this club that the striker was bought by Lech Poznań, and then from the capital of Greater Poland he went to Borussia Dortmund. The rest of this story is already well known.
Back in the times of playing in Pruszków, hardly anyone suspected that Robert Lewandowski could be a favorite to reach for in a dozen or so years. However, there were those who noticed his outstanding skills and tried to get him out of the first league. It took place in 2008. – I worked in Palermo, and he played for a Polish club from the second division. Agent Sergio Berti told me about him. I liked it and tried to persuade him to transfer – admitted the then sports director of the Italian club Palermo Walter Sabatini in an interview with “Tuttosport”.
– Robert told us, however, that he would prefer to spend another year in Poland to keep playing. To this day, I regret that the matter has stopped on this news. I wish I had flew over to his house to convince him personally. Lewandowski is an amazing striker – regretted Sabatini. “This is my biggest regret in the transfer market,” he concluded.
