Until a few years ago Miralem Pjanic he was the best midfielder in the world. In 2017, he was the main manager of Juventus to qualify for the final Champions League (losing 1-4 with Real). The problem is that in the following seasons he played worse and worse. In September 2020, Juve replaced the Bosnian with Arthur, the quarterback Barcelona. But so far, both clubs are unhappy with the deal. Pjanic’s debut season at the Catalan club was so bad that he spent previous games on loan at Besiktas. And even worse: in Turkey, it didn’t impress either. Pjanić is now 32 and everything indicates that in the new season he will try to convince Xavi to give him a chance.
– Recently I had problems with injuries, coronavirus and changing clubs. Now, however, it is different. I’m sure I can get back to my best form. This summer I did a special exercise with a physical trainer. It’s time to show the fans the real Pjanic – quotes the Catalan midfielder ‘Sport’.
Pjanić is delighted to work with Xavi. – It’s great because Xavi has always been my role model. As a central midfielder. That’s why I tried to imitate him. In my opinion, he is one of the best midfielders of all time. Working with him is amazing. A good season awaits us – says former Juve Roma player i Lyons.
There was also the subject of Robert Lewandowski. – He’s the best striker in the world. But not only does he score goals, it’s about his overall play in the forward line. The last two years have not been the best for Barca, but I’m sure we can win the league, Pjanić said.
