Polish international Robert Lewandowski says Pep Guardiola to be a huge success in the premier league when he manages in England next summer."I know Pep can improve a team in England," Lewandowski told the Mail. "I think he knows where he's going and he knows what he needs to do with the team he's going to, so that they play much better.
"He will focus on technique and perhaps more possession than is the norm in England. But Pep knows the Premier League is different from the Spanish league or the Bundesliga but I'm sure he can do something new in terms of tactics and technique."
"The first time I heard Pep's decision I thought it was a shame," said Lewandowski. "But after that, I knew I'd to come here to train and play and I'm sure we'll carry on in the same direction with Pep right to the end of the season.
"It's important for me to have a good second half of the season. And if we do win something then we will celebrate with Pep."
Lewandowski also said that he was enjoying seeing his former boss and mentor Jurgen Klopp
"Once at Dortmund there was exactly the same sort of incident with his glasses," he said. "You could see when that final goal went in how emotional he is. I've noticed how much the Liverpool players love to work with him. I've seen one or two games and the reaction shows they are all united.
"He always stood up for his team and he's a bit like a father for the players. Also, for the Liverpool fans, when they see they've got a coach who gives his all they'll back him. Klopp is a very good coach. He suits English football."
"I was annoyed," Lewandowski said. "I was annoyed having to play as a No. 10 instead of playing up front as the No 9. I played the whole season as No 10.
"The following season I thought about why I was in that position, then I realised my game had improved. I learned a lot and, when I played up top again, I realised playing as a No. 10 had made me a better player.
"I was annoyed with him at the start but, after a year, I realised why, as I had become a different type of player. Before that I'd been a typical centre-forward but that changed with the quality of the team as well.
"I had to learn a lot in the first six months and show what I could but, after that, I continued to learn from him. I knew going to Dortmund was good for my career. The four years with Klopp were ideal. I was very happy
