Miralem Pjanic Is living a period of adaptation much more complicated of the that fit to expect when fichó by the FC Barcelona. The bosnio left the Juventus of Turín to fulfil a dream and play in the Barça beside Leo Messi. In return, Arthur Melo went to the group bianconero, by what a gap remained freed in the centre of the field barcelonista. A place that, in theory, was for the Balkan.

Nevertheless, Ronald Koeman changed the usual 4-3-3 of the culés by a 4-2-3-1 and the midfield lost a piece. This is being a problem tremendo for the one of Tuzla, that up to now only has found his place in the Champions League, where has been headline always by the rotations that has practised the Dutch trainer. Unfortunately, his minutes in Europe move away a lot of which is having in LaLiga week by week.

Against the Real Sociedad, Pjanic added his eleventh suplencia in what it goes of season liguera. The ex juventino so alone has been headline in one of the 12 days that has contested the Barcelona, in front of the Athletic of Madrid does almost a month. Besides, in this crash went out of start because Sergio Busquets was lesionado, by what if the one of Badia had been available, surely not even in this meeting would have played.

This Wednesday, in front of the donostiarras, even Carles Aleñá, one of the footballers that less minutes has played this campaign, went through him the right. The one of Mataró was the first midfield player in jumping to the field in the second part and went out in the minute 65. Miralem Had to expect 11 minutes more to jump to the terrain of game and enjoyed only of 14 minutes of game more the almost 5 that had to discount.

To Pjanic has not cost him of at all complain

To the midfield player bosnio has not cost him neither complain in the press so that his technician have him more in account. In fact, from his words in 'The Gazzetta dello Sport', in League, has played only in front of the realistic, since against the Raise did not contest neither an alone minute. It is evident that Koeman does not finish to trust he and that prefers to Sergio Busquets to accompany to Frenkie of Jong. But explain before with Aleñá that with the Balkan himself is something that bumps a lot of.

It will be necessary to see which raisin against Valencia, since the natural would be that the trainer of Zaandam rotase. The Barcelona only will have a pair of days of rest and Busquets, to his 32 years, surely was not qualified to play to the maximum level with so little time of margin. The normal would be that, have happened what have happened up to now, Pjanic went out of start. Nevertheless, after seeing to Carles going out before that he against the 'txuri-urdin', everything can happen.
