BERLIN - To feel a cheering crowd behind him has always encouraged Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski to go outside his comfort zone.

Considering his close connection to football supporters, the upcoming games behind closed doors might be a particular challenge for the 31-year-old Pole.

Despite having to face the unknown in the form of so-called ghost games, the striker is determined to make his fans happy and deliver titles, he told Xinhua in a recent interview.

The German league's leading scorer (25 goals/25 games) spoke about his fondness of his Chinese supporters and announced to look forward to his next trip to China.

"I never forget the enthusiasm. It was something exceptional to meet so many Chinese fans and look into their smiling faces last year," the attacker emphasized.

He said he is looking forward to his next trip and hopes to be able to travel as soon as possible. "There are so many people behind us, I am flattered," he said.

The Polish team captain added he feels in the best shape ever after he could fully recover from his injury and attend full training for several weeks.

"We are happy to return to action. My team and I want to use the opportunity and win the national title and the German Cup," he added. After that, eyes turn to the Champions League. He hopes to continue the most important European club competition orderly.

Lewandowski demanded to accept the situation requiring unfamiliar measures. The mental preparation of every squad member is the main issue.

Millions of fans are eagerly waiting for the kick-off. He called it an obligation to deliver top class games.

"It is a strange situation. I can remember one or two ghost games in my career. This is nothing you fancy as a footballer, but you still have to get ready for action," he said.

The implemented rules based on the hygiene concept of the league association might require some inventiveness as the usual celebration pattern after a scored goal is banned.

"We have to keep the rules in mind despite there is a lot of emotion involved when you have scored a goal. We might have to find new ways to celebrate. You normally hug your teammates, but that's off now."

The approved restart has still been good news for football, he underlined.

The team's success is most important and superior to his personal goals. Nevertheless, he is confident to possibly break through the 30-goal-mark at the end of the season.

To score more than 30 goals would set a new record for the striker as he twice scored 30 goals in a Bundesliga season (2016/2017).

The Bavarian forward said the number of goals isn't his main target. It might be a nice thing to get over the 30. The historical record of German striker icon Gerd Mueller of 40 goals in one season seems out of sight in the nine remaining rounds of matches.

The restricted training has been a hard time. "It wasn't easy to stay fit. But I can say I have made the most out of it and feel perfect. I never had such a long time to prepare," the striker commented.

The last days in advance of the restart full-contact training is the main task. "We haven't done that for a long time. The first 10 to 15 minutes of the games might feel strange."

Lewandowski said he fully trusts the safety measures in Germany and hasn't got second thoughts on possible risks due to the restart. "The situation is stable in Germany as a lot has been done."

Regarding the outcome of the 2019/2020 league season, he expects Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig to start new attacks on Bayern. Behind the two, he sees Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Moenchengladbach trying to gain ground.

The forward said his strategy to consider the smallest details has helped him to get to the top. "Small details are the big point in the end," he said, mentioning healthy food.

The Bayern box-striker said he hopes to stay fit for some more years and that he is happy about the contract extension of coach Hansi Flick and former German international Miroslav Klose.

Flick has an enormous effect on the team. "There is a lot of trusts, and everything is going in one direction."

He called his five goals in nine minutes in 2015 in a league game against VfL Wolfsburg, his highlight moment. "That will stay until the end of my life, I guess. If there is a secret about goal scoring for strikers, it might be the intention to be complete with both feet, the head and always be involved in the forwarding game."

He named Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Timo Werner (Leipzig), Luis Suarez (Barcelona), Sergio Aguero (City), and Kylian Mbappe as his top five strikers.
