Juventus 2-0 SPAL: 4 players who impressed for the Bianconeri | Serie A 2019-20

#2 Miralem Pjanic

Juventus v SPAL - Serie A

Maurizio Sarri has always emphasized on a deep-lying playmaker throughout the course of his managerial career, and he has the perfect fit at Juventus in Miralem Pjanic.

The 29-year-old is adept at the possession play cherished by his manager, while his range of passing and vision means he can be deployed in a number of tactical positions on the field.

The Bosnian international had scored the winning goal in the 2-1 victory over Brescia in midweek. And he followed that up with another goal in the game against SPAL, breaking the deadlock with a stunning long-range goal right before half-time.

The goal helped Juventus go into the break in the ascendancy, calming nerves at the Juventus stadium after they had seen their side denied time and again by the impressive Berisha.

Unsurprisingly, Pjanic had the most completed passes of all players who stepped onto the field, playing a total of 114 passes with a staggering 91.2 % accuracy. Going forward, he would be central to the success of Sarriball in Turin.
