The Bayern Munich attacker is eagerly anticipating
this weekend's Euro 2016 qualifier versus the world
champions and is hopeful of getting a good result
Poland forward Robert
Lewandowski insists his side
will not park the bus against
Germany in Saturday's Euro
2016 qualifier in Warsaw.
Lewandowski will play many of
his Bayern Munich team-mates
in the match and hopes they take Poland lightly as
Adam Nawalka's men are looking for their first ever win
over the world champions.
"Maybe they will be too confident after winning the
World Cup," Lewandowski told Uefa's official website.
"Maybe they will oversleep a little and we will be able to
take advantage. I hope so. We know their qualities, but
we will not park a bus in our penalty area.
"Will this match be special for me? I would not say
special as such, just different.
"I know most of Germany's players - I played with some
at Dortmund and now I play with some more at Bayern.
"Of course, we joked a little bit about the game and
they admitted, jokingly, they would happily accept a
draw in Warsaw."
After Philipp Lahm's retirement in the wake of
Germany's World Cup success, Bastian Schweinsteiger
was named as the team's new captain, but he is still
battling injury - meaning Manuel Neuer will wear the
armband in the Group D fixture and Lewandowski is
hoping to score against a man he regularly faces in
training.
"I have good memories of my many games against
Manuel," he added.
"I remember only too well that I scored my first
Bundesliga goal against Schalke, with Neuer between
the posts.
"I gave an interview to German television and they
asked me a lot about it, but it is Poland v Germany and I
would be equally happy if any of my team-mates
scored. It does not have to be me."
Poland made a fine start to their qualifying campaign,
routing international newcomers Gilbraltar 7-0, while
Germany edged past Scotland 2-1.
