After a successful outing at the just ended FIFA U-17 world cup, Bojan is eager to take on the Barca challenge.


The long-awaited marriage between Bojan Krkic and FC Barcelona is finally on the cards. The young goal machine has been in the news and top-tip for a Barca senior team place since Bojan's golden debut against Al-Ahly of Egypt in which the Barcelona reserves top ever scorer netted a brilliant goal on that memorable night. Now, with the super performance from Krkic's Barcelona reserves teammate, Giovani dos Santos a potential lucrative contract offer and some international media profiling, beyond the skies seem to be the limit for the two youngsters. Bojan Krkic is an admirer of Giovani and speaks on the young Mexican forward:

It was great watching Giovani debut against Atletico Bilbao. I felt very happy for him and also wished I was part of th action too. It's a lifetime experience to make an official debut for a club like Barca. but I was away in Korea and it wasn't possible. Now that I'm back, I will try and prove myself in training. If I can join the squad as soon as possible. I will take things little-by-little and will seize every chance I receive. Maybe we will both reach that level for that reason.

Bojan clarified issues about his initial unwillingnes to join the Spain camp for the U-17 world championship when he was invitied by the Spanish authorities. The young one explained it was due to his over-whelming emotions for FC Barcelona and the desire to continue the pursuit of his life-long dreams:

I was having an excellent time at Camp Nou. Things were going well for me. I felt comfortable and very at home alongside the first team players and I enjoyed that a lot. Naturally, it will be very dificult for a young player to leave under such nice conditions. It had nothing to do with going to play for Spain because appearing the World Championships was thrilling, it was because at that time I was living the dream and it was hard for me to leave. Once the tournament started though I forgot all that and really enjoyed it. Playing out there helped a lot. On the pitch it helped me become better known and as a person it helped me grow and I improved a few things. It was worthwhile experience and playing at the world cup has been beneficial to me.

Bojan speaks of the injury to Barcelona's star striker Samuel Eto'o:

The injury was quite unfortunate and will no doubt have its impact as the absence of such a player like Eto'o will be felt. Although it is true that one space in the attacking line is now left empty, I will continue to remain calm and have confidence in my game. I will continue to give 100 per cent and will be there when I am required. I have not set any targets. For now, I only want to think about playing football and to adapt to the new way of life that I am going to have at Camp Nou playing for my dream club.
