Without him in the team, pressing resistance diminished a lot. Physically he deteriorate after 2017. but still could pass the damn ball, which you can't say for current midds except for
Locatelli.
His movement was so much better than what we saw this far. I was realy suprised with his involment in the game. Hope from now on, hide and seek will play at home.
First half was sad to watch, no midfield at all. Zero creativity and vision, at one moment i even forget that Pjanic is starter, than there was a corner and once again it was possible to spot him on pitch.
