Lewandowski and Robben have different opinions about the lineup

The Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski disagrees with his teammate Arjen Robben on the topic about the team. Without the young players from the school, the coach Carlo Ancelotti has 18 players.
According to the Dutch, the number is too small and the team is at risk in any injuries to several players, as it happened in the spring of the last three seasons.
`It is not like we have just 14 players. I believe that the size of the team is perfect, we can fight for the title with this lineup. The number of players is right.`, said Lewandowski.
`Such a big team ensures that everyone will stay motivated and will give everything of themselves, because everybody has a chance for the titular place. When the players are too many, they think that a single mistake will take them off from the starting lineup.`
The Polish player talkd about his extended contract: `I re-signed my contract because a change of the team wouldn`t be a progress. Bayern is at the same level as Barcelona and Real Madrid.`
