Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
Back from loan after a year at Besiktas, Miralem Pjanic is back at FC Barcelona. While we imagined him quickly repacking his bags to leave Catalonia, the former Lyonnais decided to stay to try to convince Xavi who had never had him under his orders. This seems to be a winning bet for the Bosnian who had a full game last night against Juventus, his former club. A performance hailed by Xavi after the match.
“I liked him a lot. He brings us a lot with the ball, he found the inside players very well, he has a unique vision in football in general, because there are not many who find solutions in a touch. He always looks forward. He had a great game”.
Pjanic in = Nico out?
If Pjanic is made to stay, it could lead to Nico leaving on loan according to Sport. The young La Massia-trained midfielder wants more playing time and won’t be able to act as Busquets’ understudy as planned if the Bosnian stays at Camp Nou. When he left Juventus to join Barca in the summer of 2020, Miralem Pjanic was a world reference in the midfield role but failed to rise to the occasion under Ronald Koeman. At 32, will the former Olympique Lyonnais midfielder find a level close to that which he reached during his Italian years between Roma and Juve?
