Chicago Fire's Robert Lewandowski gamble is starting to look like a mistake

Lewi might not be the answer after all.

MLS has seen the arrival of numerous legendary players from Europe, many of whom dominated their home leagues with remarkable achievements.

On several occasions, these veterans have significantly increased the quality and competitiveness of their teams, as proved by stars like Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi, and Heung-Min Son.

Yet, some experienced players have struggled to adapt to MLS, falling short of expectations and their previous form.

Yes, I’m talking about the lethal striker Robert Lewandowski; the Polish legend is not having its best form with the Chicago Fire.

Lewandowski's form is an unexpected twist for fans

Sorry, Fire fans, but that is true. Robert Lewandowski, on its last six games, has zero goals, a record never seen by the former FC Bayern Munich striker. To show you I'm not just saying random things, we need to look at the stats.

With the Chicago Fire, the former FC Barcelona player has played 19 games, scoring seven goals and recording three assists, numbers that nobody would have imagined seeing from Robert Lewandowski.

The strange thing is that he doesn't lack scoring opportunities, but rather, and I can't believe I'm saying this, he needs to be more efficient in front of goal.

Before his arrival, Robert Lewandowski was a crucial piece for the historic Spanish club, scoring outstanding goals; however, since moving to Chicago, the Polish striker has done nothing. The worst part is that Lewandowski's signing was the reason why Hugo Cuypers moved to Mexican soccer.

That's right, the reason why the Belgian player, who was scoring goals practically every matchday, decided to move to Liga MX in search of playing time was the arrival of the veteran striker.

The Robert Lewandowski experiment in Chicago is falling short, leaving fans and soccer enthusiasts disappointed with the striker’s recent performances. He appears to have lost his edge, showing less drive and failing to meet the high standards set by his reputation.

Although many anticipated a gradual decline as he approached retirement in MLS, supporters hoped for more compelling displays to enjoy each matchday.
