What did Salihamidizic say?
“I don’t understand Lewandowski,” the former Bayern and Juventus player told Bild.
“My father always taught me that when you leave, never close the door with your behind. Robert is headed in the direction of doing exactly that.”
WHO ARE THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYERS IN THE WORLD?
Salihamidzic’s comments follow on from some stinging comments from Lewandowski last week in which the new Barcelona star accused Bayern of lying about his transfer.
What did Lewandowski say?
“Everything that's happened in the last maybe few weeks before I left Bayern Munich, that was also of course a lot of politics,” Lewandowski said.
“The club tried to find an argument why they can sell me to another club because before it was difficult to explain maybe to the fans. And I had to accept that even though it was a lot of bulls---, a lot of s--- said about me. Not true, but in the end I knew that the fans, even in this period, still support me a lot."
Lewandowski and Bayern were at loggerheads for much of the summer before the Poland international completed a €50 million move to Camp Nou.
The 33-year-old enjoyed eight brilliant years at Bayern, winning eight straight Scudetti and scoring 344 goals in 375 games.
