Bad news for Barcelona, Lewandowski got a ban from playing in 3 League games. This is because Lewandowski got a red card and was considered disrespectful to the referee. If counted then Lewandowski will miss games against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Getafe. Of course they will have a hard time. Currently Lewandowski's statistics are very good, 19 games with 18 goals and 4 assists. But I heard Lewandowski will appeal because he thinks it is not insulting to the referee.
This is indeed very unfortunate, especially when looking at other things, there are slanted reports about him who deliberately wanted to get a red card so that he could rest more because he was preparing for the match in the world cup.
A significant loss, especially in this case, their position is still not safe in the standings because it is still closely followed by Madrid.
Intentionally or not it was too much punishment for not being able to play in 3 matches. It seemed that referee Gil Manzano was not in the best of moods at the time.
Lewandoski explained regarding his gesture which was considered insulting to the referee, he said it was shown to the bench and not to the referee. Lewandowski will try to appeal the sentence.
Lewandowski also admits that his debut at Barcelona will not be easy and will go according to plan, but he is trying to give his team the best.
Now just have to keep hoping whether indeed Lewandowski's gesture by rubbing his nose with his index finger and continuing to point at the referee will be considered as an act of undiscipline or not because it will be difficult if this is considered an act of neglecting the referee.
An appeal is something they definitely do because Barcelona currently still need Lewandowski and it would be a big loss if they lose Lewandowski for a long time.
I think that Lewa's gesture is something that shouldn't have happened, giving importance to something that turns out to be so insignificant, Lewa now has a lot of things to solve, like getting out of the Europa League well off, since I imagine he is a player who he seeks to obtain some very good titles, one of them is finally to be the winner of the golden ball, clearly it is very difficult to win it if he is in a lower level league, if the team does not play for Lewa they will hardly be able to obtain enough results that are favorable to Barcelona. Until these teams understand that they must play for a star player and he establishes himself, they cannot have the results that a club wants and that was said by a Brazilian player.
Before the world cup have not started it seems Barcelona is struggling to be at the top. After the World many players will show weakness in their performance and it may affect Barcelona, some of their players may show some sign of weakness, Barcelona might not continue to lead the league.
most of the barcelona players are playing in spain, other important players like lewandoski have already returned home and are resting at home so if spain reaches the final maybe most of spain's players will have little time to rest but see that it will be much more time off in relation to the league games, so there's no way the barcelona players can come back tired and affect something in the team, on the contrary they came back very motivated to play, and barcelona is at the top they're going to work hard. if barcelona has a bad result, it will only be due to some strategic error
Well, for me Spain is not that they have performed so well in the World Cup, I think Luis Enrique is much more aware of twitch than anything else, the Spanish players are young, very young, he did not take the veterans and always All over the world you need players who have a lot of experience, veterans are very necessary in every team, whether or not to rest is something that all players need, not much rest either because players usually lose some of their friends, but with respect At the pace they carry, after a league, then a world cup, they must recover not only physically but also psychologically.
