Sardar Azmoun @ FC Rostov | 2016/17

[Nokhodi]

Sardar just like last season really picks up steam during the end of the season.

I kinda hope Rostov won't qualify for EL because otherwise the club's management will think twice before selling their key players like Azmoun or Poloz. It might serve as an excuse for Azmoun to stay there for another season too but hopefully he will be smart enough to refuse any contract extension ..

Why does Sardar always hits form at the end of the season?

One thing I noticed is that he is less effective vs teams playing with 3 CB (3 5 2 or 5 3 2) .. That would partially explain why he was succesful in CL and EL this season but not so much in RPL where more than half the teams use 3 CB .. Notice how his goal scoring drough ended as soon as he played vs Rubin (one of the few teams in RPL playing more attacking football and using 4 2 3 1 formation) ? Anzhi used a similar formation today and he scored once again... Can't be a coincidence IMO but there are surely other reasons for his inconsistency too

Rostov move into a Europa League spot, if they draw their next game they will qualify for the group stage which is great for Saied and Shekari

Interesting observation, thank you.

For that reason I think he would fit very well into a top team like Benfica or Porto who play in an offensive minded Portugese NOS liga.

Azmoun finished with highest rating on the pitch of 8.1, even tho he came on in 50th minute. Back to back MOTM performances by sardar.
His goals was purely strikers instinct

Azmoun already in the top 10 of scoring with his goals the last 2 games. He can potentially go top 5 with just another goal on the last day. Can't blame him much for an overall low goal tally in such a low scoring league.
