Playing in the Munich "Bayern" team, forward Robert Lewandowski will be forever grateful to his former coach Jürgen Klopp. The Polish striker, who played for the Dortmund "Borussia" team from 2010 to 2014, showed his brightest colors and became one of the best football players on the planet. According to R. Lewandowski, his gambling with coach J. Klopp helped him improve significantly. "When I arrived in Dortmund, I knew only a few German words. The weather here was gloomy and gray. But intensive training sessions with Jürgen were happening. I desperately tried to leave my mark, and Klopp decided to raise the stakes for me. In the first few months, we made a bet - if I scored ten goals during training, he would give me 50 euros, and vice versa. In the first few weeks, I almost always had to pay. Jurgen was always joking. But after a few months, everything turned upside down, and I was the one receiving money. Eventually, one day the coach said: "Enough! You are ready now." Intrigued, R. Lewandowski showed his mastery in the team, scoring 103 goals in 187 matches for the "Borussia" club.
