Yesterday, Pjanic scored another fundamental, decisive goal in our victory against Bologna. Adding another one to his tally to go alongside his goals against Brescia and the SPAL: further proof of this on-form period for Miralem Pjanic.
The Bosnian midfielder spoke Sky about Saturday's match as well as previewing Tuesday's Champions League tie with Lokomotiv Moscow.
"I feel good, I have confidence and I'm at the height of maturity." - comments Miralem -. "I feel complete and I am working to be amongst the best in the world. The team has managed to express itself well on the field and I am enjoying playing with this squad a lot. Goals are always nice, but it is even better to be first in the Champions League and in the League. We must continue like this and increase the gap with our competitors."
As we try to continue to maintain the top spot in our group, we'll need to perform well Tuesday against Lokomotiv next week: "It will be a complicated match against a fit team, and in the Champions League you should never underestimate anyone. They have already proved to be a very difficult team to deal with both against Atletico and Bayer Leverkusen. It is a game that we will have to attack from the first minute."
Pressing is one of the winning keys in the mind of Maurizio Sarri: "The coach asks us to press as much as possible in order to create the greatest number of scoring chances. Little by little we are succeeding in expressing his ideas better and better. This team is having fun and will become even stronger as time passes."
Finally, a thought on Buffon; the savior of last night's last second win: "The presence of Gigi is very important. We're always thankful because we have an absolute leader like him. Both, in the locker room and on the pitch. He is the number one of all time in his role."
