Euro 2016: Portugal vs Poland - 5 players to watch out for

#4 Robert Lewandowski:

Lewandowski needs a vast improvement in his form to make an impact

Lewandowski’s stats during Euro 2016 qualifying were absolutely out of this world. He was the top scorer with 11 goals, and his goal-scoring feats powered Poland into the finals. However, it seems a different Robert Lewandowski has turned up for Euro 2016, than the one who ran berserk through opposition defences in qualifying.

He has looked distinctly off-colour, devoid of hunger, disinterested and in genuine need of confidence. The Poland captain is yet to score in Euro 2016, which by itself is quite unimaginable. Maybe it is the pressure of leading the most talented Poland team in the history of the country, or maybe the rigours of a long club season have taken their toll on his body, the 27-year-old looks physically and mentally fatigued and substantially below the levels he has performed at for Bayern Munich over the past year.

For Poland to make a mark on the international stage, Lewandowski needs a significant upgrade in his current form.
