Miralem Pjanic is a world-class midfielder and is capable of doing wonderful things, but for some reason isn't given the credit he deserves. He is a very important player for Juventus and under Maurizio Sarri, he might play in the 'Jorginho role'. He has primarily played as a defensive midfielder over the last 2-3 seasons, but has the ability adapt to other positions.

He scored 4 goals and assisted 8 in 44 games last season. The Bosnian won 41 tackles in the Serie A last season.

As a defensive mid, he ensures that the team doesn't leak goals and at the same time, he is the mastermind behind many of Juventus' forward raids. He generally initiates the attacks with his creativity and technical quality. The former Roma star is a set-piece specialist, and is considered to be one of the best free-kick takers on the planet.
