LOL? He is more like "lazy" with us and Atletico, because if you think he is hardworking now, he was superhuman level of pressing and hard work with Bayern, was insane, only striker to make defenders even more nervous when they have the ball, instead of when they dont (we faced them 3 years ago, he made Giorgio SWEAT LIKE HELL off the ball). Technically limited, as per norm with target man (very mobile one), but complete warrior at his prime especially, which was 2-3 years ago.
You see the glimpses of that with us, his work ethic and how deep he comes in defence (wide positions), but its not the same, he is not like Tevez who can function like this on his own, Mandzukic was at his best with this with Heynckes because it was a system that required everyone to move and press, and he excelled at that since it showed off his best assets.
