That end of the year is one of the best news for Bojan Krkic. The squad closes a 2010 too loose on a personal level, which has failed to explode as the `9 'del Barça.

Despite the confidence of Pep Guardiola, although coach Bojan not far from the owner, who gives minutes whenever possible, either in games or in the Champions League Cup, the fact is that the young striker did not just explode Blaugrana as the `9 'that many hope will be for Barca.

Guardiola knows that Bojan is still very young and looks after his own way. Without going too far in the last European match against Rubin Kazan, Pep was decided that Gerard Pique, who sported the captain's armband at the expense of Krkic, intended to take pressure off the youth squad and that could focus on making a good game.

Nevertheless, Bojan is not himself on the grass, and it seems that even the club renewed confidence in their ability, reflected in his contract extension until 2015, has managed to revive the `9 'we all hope to see in it.

Bojan was once again headline yesterday in the first leg of their knockout round of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Club, but was eventually substituted shortly after start second part. To his credit only stopped a shot on goal that was able to connect in the first half from outside the area. It seemed that the squad would eventually complete a good game, but the truth is that the night is over Bojan dark and was little more than the `9 'Blaugrana on the lawn at Camp Nou.
