The teenage sensation is all up for accolades from the older players and officials of FC Barcelona.


FC Barcelona's coach Frank Rijkaard was very pleased with the football skills displayed by young Bojan when the Catalan giants played a 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid in the La Liga. Bojan and Ronaldinho were among the players that stood out in the entire Barca squad for the evening, and Krkic caused a scare as early as the 6th minute with a face-to-face encounter with Valladolid keeper Alberto, made the home fans gasp with an effort in the 56th minute that sailed over the opponents cross bar, and then raised the hairs of the Valladolid bench in horror as they watched Bojan's great shot rocket off the post. An obviously impressed coach Rijkaard says of Bojan Krkic:

Bojan is such a fantastic player who has mobility, the ability to create spaces and to hold the ball up. I have never had second thoughts about his talents and for the fact that he will keep improving with time is another remarkable thing to consider. He is an asset to FC Barcelona.

Bojan hopes to continue his assault against Real Betis on Sunday 4th November, 2007 at Camp Nou. Kick off time is 19:00 hours ( GMT + 1 ).

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.
