The parable of "Teo" - Lewandowski 2.0 marks and signals

The Board

For the third time in a row, after the previous capicannonieri Ibrahimovic and Cavani, but Ciro Immobile greets the Premier League. Arrivederci Italy - the attacker chose the blue orphan Borussia Dortmund Robert Lewandowski. So here is another sniper devastating arsenal of Klopp. Craving goal after a goodbye that hurts, almost impossible for a player to replace, come to marry with the hated rivals Bayern. Sgarbo that repeats itself like last year when he was to leave Götze replaced anyway so dear to Mkhitaryan. Cyrus also be able to tell her, in a league continues to rise among young talent, good football and stadiums are always full. But not only. Before the jewel of Torre Annunziata, the BVB had in fact put under contract Adrián Ramos, coincidentally top scorer in the Bundesliga. Meanwhile, the Turin, like several other European clubs, has set his sights on Łukasz Teodorczyk, blond bomber as Cyrus and Polish as Robert ...

Born in Żuromin in '91, a small town 120 km to the northwest from the capital Warsaw, who became his springboard. He graduated with the MKS Wkra Żuromin, clubs in the country, he moved in the youth of Poland Warsaw in 2010. It starts immediately with the turbo: two goals on his debut against Romania U20 national team, in addition to government's top scorer and player of the year Young League (equivalent of our league spring). 15 goals in 21 games, then now is among the greats. Go to first team during the 2011/2012 season, but lesiona the calf and is forced to watch his teammates from the pits for several months. Playing only 11 games, scoring 4 goals, however, putting, plus 6 appearances with 2 goals in U21. The last season was in fact his first as a starter. Top layer, with the jersey number "10" stitched on the shoulders report makes 5 goals and 6 assists until January, then it's Lech Poznan to knock its parts. In the market for repair, the old club Lewandowski occupied the first position in the standings. With the usual Legia chase, signing with the "Railwaymen" for a little over one hundred thousand Euros, thanks to his contract expiring in the next year. And 'the best response to rivals to win: a young and promising, with a goal in the blood. Training nearly identical to Robert Bayern. But Teodorczyk does not fit - it is hit and miss - plays and score a little (1 goal and 4 assists), and to rejoice is just Legia once again champion of Poland. Better instead his debut in the senior national team, where he often acts as its vice-Lewandoswski. Trim another two goals against Romania, scoring in the bombing at San Marino. This year, his talent has exploded, winning numbers monstre in all competitions in which he participated. Absolute leader Lech, eternal second to 10 points from Legia, has closed its Ekstraklasa with 19 goals and 7 assists in 30 games. Add another 4 goals and 2 assists between the cup and the Europa League and that's a great striker from the potential.

Slender figure, fast legs and broad shoulders, "Teo" (as he was nicknamed at home) is really a complete striker; six feet of constant danger, including the air, agility and familiarity albatross. And not only based on physical abilities. Play by equally greedy of area and second toe, "down" to pick up the ball at the center circle and then easily juggle between different opponents. Mark (in all modes) and, above all, knows how to score. Do not have a dribbling fluid, is anything but beautiful to look at but it is incredibly effective. Its great balance allows him to protect the ball, playing also "9", back to the door. He has an innate vision and a soft right foot. In short, a great athlete into a great player. Too bad for his behavior on the field, often simulate and does not seem to always give my best.

It 'an opportunity because ...

Lech has set a price for its sale, and it is far higher. It is valued at around € 3 million - is young and evolving, as are his major appearances in the senior side, in addition to the goal in the Ekstraklasa. It looks ready to leap into a more noble. Perhaps even in Italy, where he was also followed by AC Milan, Chievo and Genoa, with the latter just with Polish club lost a great opportunity. My biggest regret of the then ds Capozzucca. Four years ago it was all done for the passage of the Gryphon Lewandowski for a price very close to that of current "Teo" until the president Preziosi did not jump the operation because not convinced by the boy's physical (rather than Teodorczyk not miss of course). Genoa did not err twice, since the error becomes a choice. But eye to foreign competition, because the boy could be first seduced and then deluded Italy, just like its predecessor. Also like to Seville, Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb with Croatian willing to close any time soon. Turin remains in destiny - another blond striker to do well in Europe. Following (or less) in the footsteps of his idol, the "opportunity" to top players. E 'divided the market, the turning of the bomber is ready to wake ...
