In the third round of the UEFA Nations League, Poland defeated Romania 6-0 at home, with Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick. After the match, he was interviewed by Polish sports TV channel, discussing his physical condition, the significance of his goals, and his regret about missing the next match due to accumulated yellow cards.

I had a feeling you'd score your 90th goal for the national team today, but I didn't expect goals 91 and 92 to follow. This hat-trick must be impressive for you, right?

Of course, I'm very happy. Not just because of the hat-trick, but because we won convincingly. I felt good during training, like my strength had returned.

However, in the first match, you still felt your legs were heavy.

Yes, that was indeed difficult at the time. At this age, and experiencing that kind of journey for the first time, it's not easy to prepare beforehand. I said before that I didn't know when my physical condition would reach its lowest point, and it turned out to be four or five days later. So, the rest helped me a lot. I also participated in two or three training sessions, and I could feel during training that I had regained my vitality. Today, from the start of the match, I was in the right condition.

Speaking of the low point, we've already started discussing it. But now you've bounced back. After the match against Sweden, if you need to prove yourself again, perhaps it will be like today, won't it?

It seems the team still needs Lewandowski. He hasn't forgotten how to score, or how to play football. I can bring more than just experience and positioning on the pitch; I'm still scoring goals, which makes me very happy. Every goal I score for Poland, especially at this stadium, is very special to me and a dream come true.

I've played here since I was young, when it was still the 10th Anniversary Stadium, and it's the same pitch. Then, I played here, scored my first goal at the National Stadium, and now I continue to score. All of this makes me very proud. This match and these goals make me very, very happy.

You started the second half very well. During halftime, did anyone in the dressing room say to capitalize on our numerical advantage and intensify attacks from the start of the second half?

After scoring the first goal, we were perhaps a little complacent and not eager enough to score again. We were just passing the ball and playing slowly, when we really needed to increase the tempo. So, in the second half, we raised the pace from the first minute, scored quickly, and had plenty of space. I think this should give a lot of confidence to my teammates, and I hope it shows when we play Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We're back in contention. Today's plan was to win and get back in the race. The next step is to play in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I hope we can continue to pick up points there.

Everything is good, there's much to be grateful for, but there's also something to regret. You've accumulated two yellow cards and won't be able to play against Bosnia and Herzegovina, when really both of those yellow cards could have been avoided. Of course, there's emotion on the pitch, but it's even more regrettable that our captain, who has just rediscovered his goalscoring touch, can't continue to contribute against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It's very regrettable. I only wanted to block the ball, but I stepped on his ankle, or rather, his boot. That kind of action can definitely earn you a yellow card. Today, my adrenaline was pumping, and my emotions were running high. Sometimes, I also like to have physical contact with opponents, to feel them. But that time, I just wanted to block the ball with the outside of my foot.

I don't know if I stepped on his ankle after he kicked the ball. But the referee gave me a yellow card, so that's it, I just have to accept it. Of course, I'd rather get a yellow card like that for contesting the ball than for a silly action; that's some consolation. But it is a shame; after completing a hat-trick, I certainly wanted to play in the next match. However, our team is strong enough, and there are other players who can certainly replace me well.

Do you know now whether you'll fly to Bosnia and Herzegovina or return to the United States?

Oh, I'm just starting to think about that now. Since I'm suspended due to the yellow card, I don't know if another trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina is really necessary. Especially flying there and back, and then again...

There's a match right after you return.

Exactly. So, at this point, long-distance travel is no longer something easy and spontaneous. We need to discuss it soon to see if it's necessary. I don't like these formal arrangements. Since I can't play, what's the point of just being with my teammates? Rather than supporting them, I might feel more stressed myself, and that might show on my face.

For formal arrangements like that, I don't know if the coach will consider it. So, I don't think I'll go. I really don't see the point.

Robert, congratulations. Now enjoy this moment, enjoy your performance today, and everything you've proven to everyone. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
