FC Barcelona has officially announced the signing of experienced goalkeeper Szczesny to add to the squad. In his first official club media interview since joining the club, Szczesny shared the journey that led to his decision to make a comeback and gave special thanks to Lewandowski for his important role in it.
Szczesny signed a one-year contract with Barcelona, and he first expressed his pride and joy in joining the giants: "This is a very proud moment. Originally I was ready to retire, but the decision to join Barcelona made me feel very happy. When I first arrived, I felt the warmth and respect of the people here and it made me realize how important I am to this club. I am proud to be part of this family. Even though Barcelona is a big, well-organized club, we still feel like a family, and that's important to me. Therefore, I have decided to extend my career a little."
Talking about the feelings after joining, Szczesny could not hide his excitement: "Barcelona has a huge fan base, which is a very great thing. I went to the game and felt the passion and support of the fans, and the team's performance was impressive. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for me and I will meet it with energy and enthusiasm. I am ready for it."
This time to join Barcelona, Szczesny's signing process is unusually rapid, which can not be separated from Lewandowski's active lobbying. Szczesny revealed: "Lewandowski was perhaps the first person to tell me about the possibility of joining Barcelona, even though at that time I had already made plans to retire. Of course, I was hesitant, unsure of my ability to take on a new challenge. But after in-depth conversations with my family and friends, they agreed that it would be a very foolish decision if I didn't accept the offer. I eventually agreed with them."
Szczesny concluded the interview by saying, "Robert (Lewandowski) played a crucial role in my joining the club. He was the first to instill the idea in me and managed to convince me. I am very grateful for his support and help."
This joining Barcelona is a fresh start for Szczesny and an important turn in his career. Expect him to contribute to Barcelona in the coming matches and bring more exciting moments to the fans.
