Robert Lewandowski: Jurgen Klopp Has Two Faces

Robert Lewandowski: Jurgen Klopp Has Two Faces

Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has picked Jurgen Klopp over Pep Guardiola as his favourite manager, and claimed the German can be like two different people at times.

The Polish striker spent four seasons under the German manager at Borussia Dortmund before his move to Guardiola's Bayern in 2014, and still holds his time with Klopp close his heart.

Speaking in a recent interview, the 31-year-old chose the Liverpool boss as his favourite football coach out of all the tacticians he has worked under, saying the 53-year-old knows exactly how to get the best out of his players and is able to do so with love and brutal honesty.

"I think... Jurgen Klopp (is my favourite) and after that Pep Guardiola. 100%," Lewandowski told ESPN.

"(Klopp) has two faces. You can see that he is kind of like a father, but the second part is like a coach, a manager.

"He can tell you everything, and I'm not speaking about the good things, about the bad things.

"Also, for (players), he is a huge motivation. He makes this perfect, because he knows where there is this line where he can (push you) more or a little bit less.

"His performance as a coach is amazing, but not only as a coach but also as a man."

Lewandowski scored 102 goals in 186 matches under Klopp's management, winning four trophies along the way.
