While Miralem Pjanic plays little with FC Barcelona in this first part of the season, Ronald Koeman urged his midfielder to be patient while waiting for an opportunity to demonstrate his qualities.
« Honestly, I don’t understand why I am in this situation. It is clear that I want to play a lot more Had released Miralem Pjanic a few days ago in the columns of The Gazzetta dello Sport, not hiding his frustration at his lack of playing time. And for good reason, if he was expected with a firm footing after his transfer from the Juventus as part of an exchange with Arthur Melo last summer, the former mid-AS Roma plays very little at FC Barcelona. Logically, the 30-year-old midfielder is frustrated by his situation which leads him to rarely start and have to settle for ends of games, as was the case against the Real society this week (2-1 victory for Barça). However, Ronald Koeman assures him, he has nothing against Miralem Pjanic.
“There are players who have to wait for their chance”
Present at a press conference this Friday on the eve of the FC Barcelona against the Valencia CF, the Catalan club coach was asked about the current difficulties of the Bosnian international. And according to Ronald Koeman, Miralem Pjanic must be patient, considering that he will eventually have the opportunity to demonstrate all his skills in Barça. « Against Real Sociedad, Carles Aleñá came in before Miralem Pjanic because he is left-handed and we needed a left-handed midfielder. There are players who have to wait for their chance and when they have it they have to show that they know how to play “, has explained Ronald Koeman in comments reported by Sports world.
