Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is demanding even more from Robert Lewandowski despite the Poland international's prolific form in recent weeks. Lewandowski has netted seven times in his last two Bundesliga appearances, including a historic five-goal haul in just nine minutes in the September 22 demolition of Wolfsburg.
However, Guardiola believes that the former Borussia Dortmund striker could be doing more for the team.
"I am very satisfied with Robert's performances in the last two games but you always want more from your players as a coach," the ex-Barcelona boss stated at a news conference.
"That does not necessarily mean that I want even more goals from him. I want him to not just focus on goals.
"I also want him to play his role in the way we play football. I want him to chase down long balls, play passes, focus on crosses from the wings and be alert with any chances we get.
"But, of course, I understand the importance of scoring goals for a striker's confidence."
Lewandowski currently tops the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 10 goals from just six outings.
The prolific attacker also netted once in the DFB-Pokal win over Nottingen and will be looking to open his account in the Champions League in Tuesday's encounter with Dinamo Zagreb.
