Azmoun's fitness should be compared to the other forwards not to the midfield guys. The analogy is you have sprinters against long distance runners. Is Schick in much better shape and running more? Azmoun is now playing the False 9 (Messi's position). He has to drop so deep that his marker will have to release him and that screws up the defenses marking arrangement and forces shifting and opens passing lanes. This is actually exactly what TM needs, a person with soft touch, vision, and strength. Clearly, he needs to cover a much longer distance to get back into the offense after he ignites it and he needs much better fitness for that. In a few months he will be a much improved all around player.
