Robert Lewandowski: biography

Dimitar Berbatov, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi also tried to achieve the same success. Another matter is that Robert had scored five goals for 9 minutes, having set this way a record time.
Childhood and youth
One of the best forwards was born in Warsaw in August 1988. Robert descended from the family of athletes: his father Christoph is the champion of Poland in judo, his mother Yvonne was a professional volleyball player. His sister was also fond of this kind of sport. She was a cheerleader for the U-21 football team. Indeed, the boy was destined to have a sports career.
However, Robert didn't demonstrate any abilities at football section where his parents had taken him. Due to Lewandowski’s persistence and attendance of additional classes, his career began to take off. Just a year later his coaches could hardly tell that the guy had no horizons.
Football
