I still remember the video of Pjanic celebrating with friends and crying because he was moving to Barça.
When stuck with a manager who didn’t play him and, as is usual for Koeman with footballers he didn’t value, treated him poorly, did Pjanic sulk? No, he gave up part of his salary to play for Besiktas.
When back from loan and not getting minutes from Xavi despite a promising preseason, does he get in a prolonged fight with the club in order to be paid the remainder of his contract?
Unlike a certain Leganes/Espanyol-level footballer who is offended Xavi doesn’t give him a “chance” to compete with the likes of Lewandowski, one of the best midfielders of the last 10 years simply moves on with minimum fuss and continues to get the most out of his career.
Miralem Pjanic, a lifelong Real Madrid fan, has treated our club and its fans with more honor and respect than many footballers before him. For this reason, we should always honor and respect Miralem Pjanic.
