Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski says he is prepared to do the "donkey work" for Poland as team captain at the World Cup, as he plots a strategy to put his country on top of Group H. "I know that sometimes I'll have to do the donkey work for the good of the team," the 29-year-old Bundesliga star said in an interview posted to Poland's Wirtualna Polska news website on Friday.
With 16 goals in ten appearances on the road to Russia, Lewandowski was the top scorer in Europe's 2018 World Cup qualifiers as Poland, currently ranked 10th in the world, finished top of their group.
Opponents "will be focused on me and on how to stop me, but what I'm going to try to do when I know that I have one or two players who are guarding me, is to create opportunities for my teammates to score," said Lewandowski, who is currently training in Arlamow, southern Poland.
"This is how we'll take advantage of it. That's how it was in France," Lewandowski said, referring to Euro 2016 where Poland lost to eventual champions Portugal in the quarter-finals on penalties.
