Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has scored something of a free goal at the club after retiring for one last hurray in Catalonia. While he may support Inaki Pena, he will do things his way.
According to Relevo, 'Tek', as he is known, has conquered the dressing room with his character. A personality that was clearly visible from the first day of his career at Barcelona. They revealed an anecdote that when Szczesny arrived in Barcelona, he went straight to the hospital to complete his medical treatment.
Afterwards, sporting director Deco and his agent waited for him at the club office to sign his contract, but were left waiting and confused as Szczesny did not show up. He had been visiting Polish teammate and friend Robert Lewandowski at his home and was hungry, so instead of meeting Deco, Szczesny and Lewandowski went to a restaurant for lunch.
The 34-year-old made his Copa del Rey debut in a 4-0 win over Barbastro on Saturday evening, although he had little to do. It remains to be seen whether he will get further opportunities in the Copa and Supercup this week, with Pena now the established first choice in La Liga and the Champions League.
