The team will form holder with Etoo and Giovani Dos Santos, who, like the rest of the staff, will do everything possible to check before Stuttgart.

All one. With ranking in the pocket and mind in Valencia, Barça has as a priority objective tonight beat a record. This is not a collective goal, in principle, but individually. Bojan Krkic can become before the Stuttgart in the youngest player achieves mark in the Champions and the team will make every effort to do so. Bojan penetrating deeply into the locker room blaugrana and his companions are going to try to help the striker to continue showing her precocity.



If the Linyola mark tonight before the joint German, you would 17 years and 105 days, a figure that would be available only to future geniuses of the sport, as children wonders precisely which skipped today as the holder at Camp Nou. Bojan is 90 minutes before that can take you to the history books of the European competition for clubs with more prestige. The striker still would be able to beat the record in the first leg of the round the blaugrana must play 19 or 20 February and also in the round, to be playing the 4 or 5 March (come with 17 years and 191 days), although both he and the team preferred to meet the target today for not having to jugárselo all a letter.

On the other hand, some sixteen the sole purpose of the workforce will get a spot in the quarter, so that their own colleagues as he could not be focused on that Bojan mark. Something that today it happen. Nobody wants obsesionarse with both the youth squad player, but everyone wants to put their bit for the achievement of the objective. That Bojan becoming the youngest player in history is not only a source of pride for the player itself, but would be a matter of satisfaction for all. The club blaugrana, indirectly, as well as the template itself by Frank Rijkaard, would also be inscribed on a statistic reserved for the privileged players. In fact, that a club like Barça, a large, in history for having the youngest player to score in the Champions League is also a way to promote the philosophy of the institution, which is characterized, above all in Lately, for the empowerment of young promises of the quarry.

Normally, it is in smaller clubs where there are these opportunities. As the Olympiacos, which Oforiquaye (17 years and 195 days) was encaramó to the top of the list. Among the names also appear on the list is Shevchenko, but with Dynamo Kiev, or Sammy Kuffour, Bayern Munich. One of the players whose case may be more akin to that of Bojan is to Cesc Fàbregas, the second on the list. The Arenys de Mar scored with 17 years and 218 days with Arsenal, a club whose potential could resemble that of blaugrana, although London have no Champions League in their showcases.

But merit is not only provide opportunities for Barça, but the player himself, whose talent has forced technicians of the first team not to wait any longer and make a hole in the first template, which is amply demonstrating that level has to henceforth rub shoulders with the best players in Europe. So much so that it has already participated in Cup, and Champions League and only in the latter competition has not been released as a scorer, while it did in the Copa del Rey in the field of Alcoyano and also in the tournament in front League Villarreal and at home to the Recreation, in a match in which he managed to become the blaugrana youngest scorer in the Camp Nou.

Johan Neeskens confirmed yesterday that the home front that will be formed by Giovani Dos Santos, Samuel Etoo and Bojan itself, but the whole team remará in the same direction. The watchword is becoming crazy not obsesionarse with the goal of Linyola, but in the minds of all players will help the youth squad player to achieve the record. So much so that ones own Samuel Etoo Bojan told yesterday that, in case there was any penalty, was not concerned because intercedería to him who was responsible for transforming. There will be problems, because Frank Rijkaard and said a few days ago that the team is on the pitch that decides who throws from eleven meters. But if it was some glimmer of doubt on the subject, Deco, in the press conference after the last training before the meeting tonight, was responsible for eliminating leaving very clear that "if there is a penalty will shoot him." The Portuguese international explained, "is not a default thing, but we all know that it is good to check, both for him and for the team. We are talking about a player with a great projection, and if brand, we will all be happy.

Bojan, in addition to breaking the record at European level, of course, also exceed the blaugrana youngest scorer in the Champions League, which is none other than Leo Messi. The Argentine now holds the best mark Barça with 18 years and 131 days. The striker scored in an encounter played at the Camp Nou before the Panatinaikos, who finished 5-0, a November 2, 2005. Two years and one month later, a colleague of his can send to the second rung of the podium.
