Sardar Azmoun @ Zenit St Petersburg | 2019

[Leicester City]

baba you keep whining like an emotionally hurt 6 year old. Sardar is fine, he had a workman like display. Zenit didnt cross their halfway line much, but dug out a win away to spartak in hostile conditions, which is really impressive considering they havent been in good form and lost back to back games.

this game wasnt about sardar shining. It was about zenit getting the win against the odds and they did that.

Bebinimo tarif konim- We’ll see in the Champions League.

Game ended 1-0 for Zenit, really important win and fantastic result. Hoping Sardar's injury isn't serious since the UCL game is right around the corner

If Sardar wants to get a great transfer at the end of this season he needs to really pick it up, top scorer already seems out of reach while the Uzbek guy is netting them in left and right. Hope he’s fine to play for Team Melli so he can tally up his goal count and confidence vs Hong Kong. The service to him has been lazy too but he’s been un focused a bit. Hope he’ll tear it up in the next coming months. Also the Leagues going to be crazy the next coming weeks 6 teams are all neck to neck

Stats tell he is a slow starter.

July-December : 14 goals
March-May : 30 goals

semak notes that sardar didnt train most of the week before the game. Not sure if it was illness or knock. Would explain also the earliesh sub.

he played well first half.....second half ...meh ... think got a knock to his calf and was laboring hence subbed out.
service to him was piss poor once again and Zenit struggled once again connecting passes and holding any sorta possession in MF.. but it was a tough, highly physical slug-fest of a match.
in second half zenit pretty much pulled back and just played counter attacking football ....
he is still a bit too nonchalant and sloppy in possession and i just dont sense enough of a scoring zeal and intent from him in attacks as its necessary, to get on scoreboard in such challenging fixtures..... needs to step it up a bit on that front if he wants to have standout performances at CL..

Interesting interview with Sardar. Here is a summary of his remarks:

- Zenit might be in an easier CL group compared to others but it is tough for Zenit. He emphasizes that Zenit head coach has warned them about Leipzig because it is a very disciplined team. Sardar says that Leon and Benfica are strong teams with a lot of history and he scored against Benfica when TM had a friendly with them several years ago (I don't remember that).

- On his lack of scoring and Zenit's performance he says the main thing is how the team does and the coaching staff is satisfied with his performance and the season is still young and there are new players on the team.

- About Malcom he says that he could really help the team and the atmosphere of Zenit is very welcoming to new players and that's how he felt when he started.

- On TM and Wilmots he says he has not worked with him but Wilmots is known as a great coach and he has the potential to become a favorite head coach in Iran.

- He has a lot of praise for Taremi's performance in Portugal and he says that Mehdi's focus should be on his overall success rather than winning the golden boot.

Go Sardar!

come on futbaldoost jan to hell with logic! Sardar hasnt scored for 3 games and at this rate there is no chance at all he will be top scorer and he will fail in champions league too. nobody is giving him passes! Us iranians have the worst luck ever in the world, waaaaaaaaa!

I like that response from Sardar, aim number one is that the team get there three points and if his overall play contributes to that then even better.
Goals will come, there has always been a lot of low scoring games in Russia. If a striker gets into double figures in Russia then they have had a good season and I’m confident that Sardar will do this.
