Bojan Krkic speaks after the Barca draw against Racing Santander.


Calls for the urgent inclusion of Bojan Krkic in the FC Barcelona senior team were heard in many rounds after the gifted teen was visibly absent from the La Liga opening day encounter of FC Barcelona against Racing Santander. The match ended in a goalless draw, leading to a situation where the star studded Barca squad will have to struggle to keep up with the league toppers, Sevilla and others. In reaction, Bojan says:

I appeal for everyone to be patient. The match against Santander was a difficult one. The first team surely has enough quality to lift it's game. I really appreciate the comments from people to have me back in the sqaud as soon as possible, but I also know that even in my absence, things will still go well for Barca. I have no doubt about the quality players in the sqaud and their ability to meet up to any demnds and standards required of them. However, I look forward to rejoining the team after the world cup ends.

Bojan Krkic was missing in the Barcelona attack on Saturday which lacked much fire-power and did not score against Racing Santander in their first match of the Spanish Primera for the 2007/08 season.
