Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been full of praise for team-mate Marcus Rashford and says the Manchester United loanee “has everything.”
The forward has impressed on loan in Catalunya and it’s been reported that Barcelona are planning on activating the purchase option in his contract.
Lewandowski says that if Barcelona want to get the very best out of Rashford then have to make sure he’s full of confidence and belief.
“After a few training sessions, no. He has huge potential,” says Lewandowski.
“He has everything. He has speed, he has technique, he has a shot, he has left foot, right foot, skills…” he told Sky Sports.
“But Marcus is the guy, if you give him confidence and he sees that you believe in him, he can give you back 200 per cent.
“He’s a very nice guy. We spoke because we are sitting in the dressing room beside [each other]. We also play ping-pong. I see that this guy is very kind, very nice guy but also because of this he needs someone standing behind him.”If he does have this confidence he can really play his best football and on the best level.”
Lewandowski as then asked who wins their ping-pong games and replied: “He improved but he couldn’t win any games against me! He has to change his opponent!”
