Pjanic on FC Barcelona: “They need a leader to lift the team”

From being a key player in Juventus in Turin to being loaned to Besiktas. Miralem Pjanico has lived through very difficult moments since he arrived at FC Barcelona. Ronald Koeman did not consider him the undisputed starter in his squad and, now, the newspaper AS published the statements of the Bosnian player on the situation of the Barça team and the opportunity that Ronald Koeman denied him.

“Last year in Barcelona, ​​the coach made decisions that I did not understand. I was not very lucky. He could have played for Barcelona. He needed more minutes, but it was the coach’s decision. I had to figure it out and find a place where I could play. “Pjanic explained.

Despite not being in this season, the former Juventus expressed his opinion about the complicated situation that Barcelona are experiencing: “They go through difficult times and the results are not what the fans want. That creates pressure. The board and the president know what to do. Economically, things are not good, but it is a great club ”.

“They have very good players and maybe they need a leader to lift the team. Mistakes have been made, but people will make the right decisions. Barcelona will return is one of the greatest ”, added the footballer on loan to Besiktas.

He was not comfortable with his departure, but is grateful to the Turkish league: “I am a footballer who always wants to be on the field and, when Besiktas became interested, I did not hesitate. I always wanted to visit Turkey. It is a country that always made me curious ”.
