Exclusive Interview With Bojan Krkic.

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 ).

Praises pour in for talented Bojan Krkic after scoring his first official goal for FC Barcelona.


FC Barcelona's coach Frank Rijkaard has never hidden his admiration for Bojan Krkic. The coach sees Bojan as integral to the future of Barca and did not fail to mention his high expectations for the young lad. After the match against Villarreal in which Bojan Krkic scored the only goal scored by FC Barcelona, Coach Frank Rijkaard told the press that:

I am especially happy for Bojan. He scored a great goal and has showed that he is a player with a great future ahead of him. He can grow with us. I am very pleased for him.

Bojan Krkic in repsonse, said:

I am pleased with the goal, but I have a bad taste in the mouth as we were unable to take all three points. Messi is a great player and I have a great understanding with him. I will keep the shirt I wore today as a souvenir.

Bojan is expected to start featuring more prominently for FC Barcelona.

Goal sensation, Bojan Krkic continues rapid rise to the top.


Barca B and Spanish Junior National Team goal-machine, Bojan Krkic has been selected as one of the best players in Spain who are under 21 years of age. Although this award is ordinarily meant for players who are bit nearer to the 21 years limit, Bojan, who is still 16 years, was overwhelmingly voted to be among the best in the older category for the 2007 draft as a result of the young meastro's excessive skills and brilliant show of football and goal scoring skills for both Club and Country.
The event took place at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid and was witnesed by a host of dignitaries that included Inaki Saez, ex- Spanish National Team Coach; François Blaquart of the French Federation; Edgar Alvaro Borges, ex- player and member of the Portuguese Federation; and the ex- Rumanian player Gica Craioveanu.

Saez poured accolades on young Bojan Krkic, highlighting his talents and potentials as a strong hope for the future of Soanish football.
Saez also explained why Bojan Krkic was given leave from the Spanish U-20 Side that will play in the forthcoming 2007 U-20 World Cup in Canada:

We reached a concesssion with Bojan Krkic's team, Barcelona to give Bojan rest as we decided it was necessary to take care of him and ensure his well being for both him and his club.

Krkic was shortlisted for particpation in the Canada '07 World Cup with the U-20 Spain side, despite being also shortlisted for participation in the U-17 World Cup coming up in Korea in this same 2007. Bojan, after playing his debut for both Spain U-21 and FC Barcelona senior team has also been shortlisted for two training tours with the Barcelona Senior team before the new season commences and is a prime draft to play in the La Liga with FC Barcelona, although Ajax Amsterdam and a host of other clubs are seeking to get the young striker for at least. a year's loan to their clubs.

Camp Nou prefer to retain Bojan Krkic.
The issue of where Bojan plays also gave rise to a discussion during the occassion in Madrid, which bothered on the conastant loss of young talents produced by Barca B and by Spain to other countries and Leagues worldwide. Inaki Saez says of this:

The problem is that Spain is a country where talents are more of bought from rather than sold to.
Many clubs spend many years nuturing and tutroing their juvenile players into youthfulness and just when they should benefit from this, other clubs come and sweep them away. There are three stages in a players development, which are The Stage of Discovery, The Stage of Formation and The Stage of Explosion. Many clubs only notice a player during the stage of explosion and come and buy them out instantly.

Saez gave examples with the likes of Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid, along with Cesc Fabregas and Gerard Pique, who have both been bought by top English Premiership sides after growing through many labour and work intensive years in Spain.


The world watches to see how young Bojan Krkic will end up, wether he plays in Spain for his mentor club, FC Barcelona, thus, reversing the dangerous trend of player-drain in Spain, especially in Barcelona.
