Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic says it should be expected that it's taking time for the players to adjust to coach Maurizio Sarri's system.

Sarri took charge this season after five years of Max Allegri at Juve.

“There were some tactical certainties we could rely on after five years with Allegri and the players were accustomed to a certain type of football, whereas with Sarri many things have changed. We need to get used to the coach and he still has to get to know us fully," said Pjanic.

“I wouldn't be too pessimistic about the situation, as we are after all still in the running for all our objectives. You'll see the real Juve in February-March, as this club is accustomed to winning and will continue to do so."
