Miralem Pjanic has noticed the winning mentality that Juventus ‘breathe’ since his move to Turin.
The 26-year-old joined the Old Lady from Serie A rivals Roma during the summer and has claimed two goals and three assists in all competitions so far this season.
“When I arrived at Vinovo I discovered this special mentality,” Pjanic said to Gazzetta Dello Sport. “This will to win that Juve breathe and you feel in every match.
"All the new players are fitting in well."

“When I arrived at Vinovo I discovered this special mentality,” Pjanic said to Gazzetta Dello Sport. “This will to win that Juve breathe and you feel in every match.
"All the new players are fitting in well."
Despite his big-money transfer from the Giallorossi, the Bosnian started the season on the bench. However, he believes that it was the right decision due to his lack of fitness at the time.
“It’s not that I struggled, I just wasn’t in good shape physically and we preferred to not take pointless risks.
“Then, little by little, I felt better and better, even though it’s true that my preparation was tough.
“I had a different job compared to what I was used to at Roma, it took me a little bit of time to adapt."
Pjanic then denied that Juve's quest to win a sixth successive Scudetto is already a formality.
“Are Juventus running away with it? No, absolutely not. The season is long and it will also be tough.
“There are a lot of teams who will fight until the end, who will not give anything up.
“Roma and Napoli definitely will, but I also include Inter who have a lot of great players.
“We definitely have a great desire to bring home the sixth consecutive title."
Juventus once again lead Italy’s top flight and are heavy favourites to win yet another domestic crown, but one of the key questions surrounding Max Allegri’s team is whether they can translate this dominance at home into Champions League success.
“First we have to get through the group, then from the Round of 16 it’s like playing a game of poker.”
