Sardar Azmoun @ Bayer 04 Leverkusen | 2022/2023

[AGC]

I think an issue with Sardar may be the fact that he wanted to transfer to OM and that it failed in the end. Now he is stuck in a place where he for the moment is deemed unreliable and untrustworthy. This is just a speculation but these kind of things are of importance. Why develop a 28 year old that wanted to get out of the club?

What Im quite sure of is that no one is denying Azmouns ability at all. Im pretty sure that the coach knows exactly how good Azmoun is.

Also having a child will tear on your physical shape. Every father in the world knows this. This is not about horses. I bet he doesnt get any sleep atm.

[Hosseini]

A bench role/hybrid starter isn't necessarily a bad role for him at all. This is a very good team now. If they win europa league, it will look great for Sardar.

At the moment he needs to lose his dad bod somehow. That shit may fly in the IPL, but not in Germany

[Tarsal Claw]

Why the long faces? How does this thread always turn into a horse discussion? We need to stay more stable. He probably prefers horses to balls cause there ain’t no better feeling in the world than having 16 hands between your legs.

Should have had an assist, bellarabi botched his great pass.

Then sardar last kick of the game in on goal slipped at vital moment. Should have just passed into the corner but was trying to round gk for repeat of goal a couple weeks ago.

I dont know why he is scared to shoot instead of passing the keeper?
He tried that many times and lots of times didn't work(except few weeks ago)

I wouldnt say scared to shoot, more insistence on first making GK fall (in the process he lost his own footing this time).

As commentator also mentioned, I think he just approached it too casually once he had good first touch to bring it under control, maybe thought the union players had switched off and would let him walk it in.

Anyways, no point dwelling on it now. He is still in decent form, psychologically the fact union didn't have any lead to protect (thanks in part to sardar) changed the dynamic of today's game, as did the very early diaby goal.

He has a chance to be a continental champion, only 3 matches away. If he stays focussed he can contribute to making history for leverkusen, whether it be starting matches or coming off bench and making impact, it is still a big deal. This is what he made the move to be apart of.

Unfortunately now he has to take advantage of every single chance with traffic upfront and Schick backing soon!

I switched from Roma Game from 85th minute when Sardar entered. He had 2 great chances in those 5 minutes and fucked up both. If you want to compete with other, in this case Hlozek who obviously had a great night with a goal and assist, you need to convert these kind of chances.

[PSGman#19]

Hlozek was selected MVP and is shortlisted for MVP of thursday Europa league.

His average game against Wolfsburg was a bad news. Of course, we can't expect goals and miracle every games but show something more when starting. His last minute goals against Schalke and Frankfurt will give him a supersub status so Alonso will bench him.

At least more games in EL => more playing time for him.
I still believe Leverkusen in its current state is a bad fit for him. If he can find an equivalent team, he should move in the summer.

Last, the 3 other EL semi finalists were all linked to Azmoun when he was playing at Zenit.

[Mahsaa]

One world class pass, 2 missed chances i think, i cant believe he didnt score the last one, even i would have scored..... ok bad luck but very much bad luck, in his situation he 1000% needs to score these goals, now hlozek is even prefered over him and imagine all are waiting for mr super scorer patrick schick to return, sardar needs to score and score otherwise he has no chance to become starter.

[Iran_19]

As it was said by others you have to score these chances, specially when there is lots of competition.
Taremi can afford to miss few(which he does lol) because he has proven records with Porto, Sardar can not!
Unfortunately our players lack big time confidence, i am a bit surprised with Sardar, he played all his football outside, but i guess it is same mentality!

I believe Sardar would have gotten a lot more time if this was a close game at halftime. While trying to make his move past the goalie, the ball bounced a bit higher than he expected so he ended up with a bad touch. He was cursing at the spot of the bounce on the ground after the ball went to the goalie. Anyway, creating a couple of good scoring opportunities in 5 minutes of play will not be lost on scouts and coaches. Hlozeck did have a good game with his pressing. He forced the defender to take a bad touch for the first goal setup and did well with his assist and score which were basic slow motion 3 on1 practice drill stuff. He was in the right place at the right time.

Exactly essi jan yet we have people here who think Hlozek didn't deserve to play 80+ minutes. Sardar is not passionate about football anymore, he cares more about horseriding and volleyban than football.

This is what he said in his latest interview: آزمون: روزی رئیس فدراسیون سوارکاری میشوم

[Hosseini]

I trust Alonso - what's good for the team is good for Sardar. He's getting consistent minutes, putting his shift in and has been producing. There's no reason to have a negative mentality right now

[inarsenewetrust]

Yep. He definitely has the talent to do great things at leverkusen, realistically with their trajectory and Alonso's credentials I doubt he can find a better club in europe for the time being. Don't see marseille as strong in the medium-long term. French league quality is also not on level of Bundesliga.

It is up to him. Generally speaking he is in good form, ok he missed 1 chance yesterday but before that his conversion rate was crazy. To become a full fledged starter there is no doubt he has some pieces lacking. These have nothing to do with his touch, link up play, sharpness, confidence but everything to do with his fitness and application off the ball. And frankly just from a visual perspective its obvious too. Compare physique of Sardar to Taremi. It is clear that taremi is spending at least a few hours every day putting up some serious weight in the gym on his own time. I don't think sardar is pushing himself to his max yet.

In the end the choice is his. He is at a great club with a great coach and is not old yet. He can have many good years and has the talent to put up big numbers with their supporting cast. Or else he can get comfortable with role as super sub in the longer run.

[koorosh]

He is slowly turning things around and Alonso has been a blessing. He is a medium fish in a big pond. If he stays injury free and TM does not interfere too much with his club, it would be a good year for him.

Also stop saying he prefers his horses to football! The man can be multidimensional. If he puts a tweet saying TM then horseracing then Bayern (Bale-like)....then we can all roll our eyes...:-)
