Robert Lewandowski has again secured the world footballer title. The FC Bayern striker received a lot of praise from within his own ranks for defending his title. These are the votes for the election:
Donata Hopfen (CEO of the German Football League): “Robert Lewandowski is one of the greatest strikers in the history of German professional football – and an outstanding ambassador for the Bundesliga. He has been delighting fans all over the world with his performances for years – and is getting better and better at a high level. Last season, he demonstrates this in an extraordinary way when he even surpassed Gerd Müller’s goal record of 40. The fact that he has now successfully defended his title as FIFA World Player of the Year and that this prestigious award is going back to the Bundesliga is deserved and makes me happy Extraordinary. Congratulations!”
Herbert Hainer (President FC Bayern Munich): “Robert Lewandowski has once again made history with this world footballer election. After his award last year, he didn’t lose a single moment: he is the personification of perpetuum mobile of scoring goals. The fact that he has now been honored for the second time in a row is further evidence that that he is one of the greatest in football history. The same applies to Manuel Neuer. He is a guarantee of success and his game sets standards for all subsequent generations of goalkeepers.”
Oliver Kahn (CEO FC Bayern Munich): “Robert Lewandowski is a phenomenon: once he’s reached one peak, he’s already thinking about the next one. We would also have wished Manuel Neuer to be named FIFA World Goalkeeper again. FC Bayern is proud and happy to have Robert Lewandowski and Manuel Neuer to have two such extraordinary players and personalities in his ranks. Both set standards, on and off the pitch.”
Hasan Salihamidzic (Sports Director FC Bayern Munich): “Robert deserves this title. He has consistently focused his life on his career. He shows discipline, will and quality in every training session, which is why he is always optimally prepared. The fact that he defended his title as the world’s best footballer emphasizes his outstanding Importance and that will continue to motivate him this season. Robert loves to set records.”
