Is this game in Mexico city in high altitude? Mexicans are running and running but Leverkusen players are huffing and puffing... and none more than Sardar. Leverkusen's pressing is half ass, except Azmoun which is quarter ass... Azmoun with a great first time shot causing a great save by goalie...

0-1 Bayer concedes a couple of minutes before HT.

its a post season friendly. Leverkusen players are there for fun and experience and to play a friendly match, Sardar more concerned about getting to canada game injury free and rightfully so.

Still he has been pretty involved offensively, nearly scored with solid shot that was saved, his cutback for alario almost resulted in OG

Just looked it up. Toluca is about 25 miles outside Mexico City. Similar to Karaj/Tehran... High Altitude. 7300 feet

It's actually even higher. Per Google/Britannica:

"Toluca itself lies in a cool valley at an elevation of about 8,790 feet (2,680 metres), one of the highest cities in North America."

He has been very involved. Some good stuff and some loose passes and first touches...

I know what you are saying about getting out of there injury free but games where you try not to get hurt is when you get hurt. In my opinion, best to treat it like any other game.

He is playing Messi’s spot. He is walking and looking tired but he comes alive on offense. Almost every offensive movements start with him.

Okay that might the most ridiculous thing I have ever posted.

Sardar off at 62 minutes. 3 subs made for Bayer.

Sardar wasn't tired this game , he just looked very fruastrated but didn't give up trying. This could be because of his new position but i guess he'll get used to it or atleast untill wirtz is back. Alario played the number 10 striker position.

they lost 1-0

Well at least sardar is joining the trip

Something tells me Sardar is just gonna stay in Mexico until Dragon and TM get to Canada lol. Obviously he won’t cause he’s a responsible member of Bayer 04. But he’ll be better jet lag wise if he stays
