As a role model to thousands of young people world over, especially in Spain, Bojan begins to play his God-given role.


As a clean-cut, scandal free and hardworking young player, Bojan Krkic is a motivation and a great role model in Catalunya and in all of Spain. Bojan was recently at Camp Nou for a kids' presentation entitled Vull ser futbolista which in Catalan, translates to : I want to be a footballer. It was an essay competition run by the European Association of Former Footballers and the Catalan Football Federation. At the event, Bojan read out a paper that he wrote when he was eight years old, when he idolised then-Barcelona forward Patrick Kluivert and revealed a dreame of playing for FC Barcelona or Manchester United. Bojan said:

I thought of United because they're a big club, but I always wanted to play for Barcelona.

Now, Bojan Krkic has achieved his dream of playing for th Catalan giants, and wants to inpire other youngsters to be like him.

After scoring in the 1-1 draw against the Basque nation, an impressed coach of the Catalan national side praises Bojan.


Coach Pere Gratacós is now a great fan of young Bojan Krkic, after the free scoring teeneager put his side ahead in the match against the Basque country. Bojan has not disappointed sincehis first kick of the ball in Barca B, and has gone on to register goals for the senior side of the Blaugrana. Now the intelligent goal poacher has continued his good scoring habits by neting one for the Catalunya national side. A grateful Catalunya coach Pere said after the match:

Bojan is indeed a very talented youngster. He proved it today. It was the game he dreamed of because he played in San Mamés, in front of a full house and scored a goal as the fans cheered for him. I am really impressed.

The coach was concerned for injured keeper Albert Joqurera, who is the reserve keeper for FC Barcelona. The sad coach said:

Joqurera's injury is quite unfortunate. We are very worried about him because he came here wanting to do really well and had worked hard with us.

Speaking on the game between both sides, which drew a lot of passion and emotion, coach Gratacos said:

It was very intense. I am proud to come to the Basque Region and see so many Catalan supporters here. The two sets of fans were together in the stands and that was important. We have combined forces and two nations are always better than one.

FC Barcelona's brilliant forward, Bojan Krkic has set yet another record.


The young goal machine became the youngest player to be called to the Catalan national team at the age of 17. Bojan was unavoidably selected by the Catalunya technical crew, as efforts have been stepped up ahead of the friendly match between Catalunya and the Basque State on December 29.
