Miralem Pjanic discussed his ambitions with Juventus, gratitude for Roma and why Zinedine Zidane was “my idol.”
The midfielder sat down with FIFA.com to go over his career, including this summer’s move to Turin.
“The first year is always the most difficult. You must adapt to the new team and it’s not easy, especially considering at Juve the objective is to always win.
“Our aim is to repeat the triumphs of last season and go as far as possible in the Champions League. I am at a huge club, everything is perfect and I hope to help the team continue to win.”
Next week Pjanic will return to his former club Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League.
“I grew up in Luxembourg, arriving when I was a year old. I grew up on bread and football, my idol was Zidane. I was fortunate to choose Metz as the club where I was raised, as I had various different options at the time, but their philosophy attracted me.
“At the age of 17, I had the chance to make my debut in the first team and it was wonderful, then Lyon arrived.
“I had the best years of my career at Roma and got to know some truly wonderful Coaches. Without doubt Roma will remain in my heart, as I have extraordinary memories of those five years and the club was fundamental for my growth.
“Now I am at Juve and hope to help the club win, being as useful as I was for Roma.”
