Goal machine Bojan Krkic reveals his unique experience after making his official debut for Barcelona, but the young one is still not satisfied.


After replacing his good friend, Giovani dos Santos in the 79th minute of the La Liga match against Osasuna in Pamplona, Bojan Krkic was certified as having made his first official debut for FC Barcelona on the 16th of September, 2007 at the age of 17 years, 20 days. Even though Bojan played for just ten minutes, the agile striker came close to scoring on two occassions and would have well sealed victory over Osasuna. It was a glimpse of what the future holds for the 17 year old in the red and blue stripes. Bojan Krkic speaks of his experience while making his debut:

It was a privilege just to play for ten minutes. It’s a dream come true. I’m very happy indeed. It was a special day for me.

Asked on how he felt in the pitch when he was playing hsi frist debut game, the young striker admitted that the ned to carry out goal-scoring duty became dominant once any striker entered the pitch:

Once you are out there on the pitch, you don’t worry about the score or making your debut, you just get on and do what you are supposed to do as well as you can. As a centre forward, you know that the longer you play, the more chances you’ll get, but I had a couple of occasions in the ten minutes, it was just a pity I couldn’t do more with them.

Bojan still doesn't feel complete and totally satisfied with making his debut. The reason is simple. He hasn't made a debut in the Camp Nou yet and this is what the goal-machine looks forward to doing very soon:

My first dream was to play for Barca, now it’s to play at the Nou Camp. That will be great. I’ve always had players who I tried to follow, but this is different, I’m in there with some of the World’s biggest stars and I’m determined to learn all I can from them. Both myself and Giovani have come up to the first team this season and we have to show the boss that he can count on us, but without putting too much responsibility on us. I think it’s good that they are keeping the pressure off us. I’m here with the first team squad now and the possibility of going back to the second team is completely discounted. I’m training with the first team and I want to show just why I’m here.

Goals and scoring more goals have become a problem for FC Barcelona, despite having one of the most fearsome names in attacking football. When Bojan was away in Korea for the U-17 world cup, discontent fans cried for his return to Camp Nou, believing the goal sensation will return with the goal-key for the Blaugrana and open up the floodgates for an unending shower of goals against Barca's opponents. Bojan gives his opinion:

I’ve only seen the Pamplona game of course, but even though you sometimes don’t have enough sharpness upfront, the quality we have, I’m sure that when the goals start to go in, they’ll not stop coming.

A good prediction for the future from the young one.
