Poland and Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski criticized at home for a photo with Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev at the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The Pole was called a weakling, and his act was rated as «shameful».
“I ended up in the same place with a Russian. Well, a weakling” A week ago, a large Hollywood party gathered at Formula 1 in Monaco. At the stage in Barcelona, Poe Gasol, Neymar, Shakira and other famous personalities were noticed. However, Polish fans were most interested in the presence of their compatriot Robert Lewandowski and Russian Daniil Medvedev in the Ferrari boxes. There were some positive comments, but there were more negative ones.
- «A Pole and a Russian can be brothers, but only when sponsors demand it and pay money,» Marcin wrote. anything,” said Rafal P.
- «He ended up in the same place as a Russian. What a weakling,» said Pan Cogito.
- «Lewandowski is a master of shooting into the void,» admitted Wojcieh.
- «It's just a shame,» wrote ex_centryk.
- «Well, Lewandowski will now be taken care of,» leszek piwnicki noted with irony.
BackgroundFans had the right to accuse the Pole of hypocrisy. A few weeks ago, the Barcelona striker lashed out at teammates Alejandro Balde and Sergi Roberto for recording a sweet video greeting for Catalan fans. Balde and Roberto thanked the Russians for their support and noted that they are part of the team's success, which won the title of Spanish champion at the end of the season.
“I was very surprised, to put it mildly. I asked the club about this situation and I know that this was not an official position, but a statement during a meeting with the media who have the rights to broadcast La Liga matches. In such situations, often you don't even know who you're talking to. Of course, that's no excuse, because something was clearly not taken care of, and the result turned out very badly. As far as I know, the club intends to take some kind of action in response to this situation, » said Lewandowski, quoted by interia.pl.
Barcelona, however, did not remove the video thanking the Russian fans. In contrast, by the way, from Arsenal, which caved in under pressure from the Ukrainians and removed the publication congratulating Andrei Arshavin on his birthday. One way or another, Lewandowski first expressed one position, and then took a photo with the Russian tennis star. Obviously, the fans reproached him for this, although it is also obvious that criticizing someone for a regular photo is the height of inadequacy.
