Ronald Koeman: "I like that Pjanic is not happy he's not playing"
The Bosnian has called for more game time at Barcelona
FC Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman says he's happy that Miralem Pjanic has voiced his dissatisfaction at not playing more regularly.
Pjanic has struggled to break into the Barça side since signing from Juventus in the summer, with his appearances mainly limited to Champions League appearances.
Speaking last week, the Bosnian midfielder complained about his situation and said he wanted to play more.
"I think Miralem said last week that we had spoken about his situation and about the things he has to improve," Koeman said on Tuesday in a press conference.
"I like his attitude because having someone that's not happy about not playing is good. Having someone happy to be on the bench is not good. Everyone must work hard to earn their chances to play."
Barça are in La Liga action on Wednesday against Real Sociedad at Camp Nou when Pjanic will be hoping to come into the side.
