Until a few years ago, Miralem Pjanić was one of the best midfielders in the world. In 2017, he was the main manager of Juventus, which reached the Champions League final (1-4 defeat against Real). The problem is that in the following seasons he played worse and worse. In September 2020, Juve replaced the Bosnian with Barcelona quarterback Arthur. 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 was not happy 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 – said the former player of Juve, Roma and Lyon.
