Pjanic reveals Luis Enrique’s influence in his decision to join A.S Roma: Serie A news
A.S http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miralem-Pjanic-c25984, has revealed the influence of manager, Luis Enrique, in his decision to join the Giallorossi this summer.
Pjanic joined Roma from Olympique Lyon on the last day of the summer transfer window for a reported fee of 11-million-Euros. The midfielder revealed that he originally had concerns over the project but when he spoke to Enrique,
he was impressed with it and decided to join the club. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bosnia-and-Herzegovina-c2856 star revealed that he did not want to leave the French outfit but Enrique’s words were too strong for him to turn down.
Talking to the reporters Pjanic said, “I wasn’t sure at the start. I didn’t want to leave Lyon, but Luis Enrique’s desire to get me really influenced my decision. I did think that I would remain in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, but Lyon and Roma agreed
terms and I then opted to marry the Giallorossi.”
The former Metz star is content with his debut performance for Roma despite being on the losing side. Pjanic’s debut ended in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Cagliari over the weekend but he remains optimistic of his team’s future.
The midfielder believes that the result will not have an impact on their targets for the season and they will recover from it very soon.
“In all honesty, I thought we deserved to win. However, I don’t think that defeat changes our targets for the season. We’re sure that we’ll recover.”
The 21-year-old is loving life at his new club and believes that language is the only problem he is faced with.
“Speaking personally, I’m happy with how I have started my career here. The only problem right now is the language, but I’ll get over that just as I did in France.”
Roma’s new project has not had the start they would have hoped for, as they have also been knocked out of the UEFA Europa League. The Giallorossi were beaten by minnows, Slovan Bratislava, in the preliminary round of the competition.
