Robert Lewandowski a big fan of Julian Nagelsmann's leadership | OneFootball

Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandowski hailed his new manager Julian Nagelsmann for his top-level tactics.

Nagelsmann has steadied the ship, guiding to the top spot in both the Bundesliga and Champions League Group E thus far.

Lewandowski has continued his red-hot form, starting the campaign with a mind-boggling 17 goals in just 13 games under his new boss.

“Not much has changed for me as a striker. Of course, you can’t do much new in terms of tactics in modern football, but a new coach, Julian, with his ideas and his path, we quickly understood what he wanted.

“When you play at the top level, you know what it means to play with a new line-up or system. It’s nothing new.

“Of course, it’s important that the coach says exactly what he wants from us or what he expects – and that is exactly what happened.

“He said straight away what he’s expecting, what direction we want to go in. We all understood that quickly, wanted to go along with it and just do our thing.”

Bayern will look to continue their brilliant start as they will face Borussia Mönchengladbach in Wednesday’s DFB-Pokal second-round duel.
