Footballer Catalan was awarded the prize for their dedication and their progression in which his campaign has been consecration. On behalf of crack attended his mother Maria Lluisa that was the one that captured the prize while the crack is taken some deserved vacation while waiting to start a season that presents exciting.

The choice of these 33 footballers lies with the Technical Committee Football Draft which is made up of several representatives of estamentos football.

In his first campaign at the club, Bojan leads and ten goals in the League; Raul scored one fewer

Bojan Krkic is destined to make history. With the parish Supporters of FC Barcelona doing memory to remember the last goal of his team, participated in Linyola Noi of the goals endorsed at the club Valencia (6-0) with two goals. The canterano also scored his tenth in league, one of which Raul got in his first campaign with Real Madrid.

Like the player White, Bojan wants to mark an epoch in the Nou Camp. In his first season with the first team, has scored ten goals in 28 league games and is, along with Messi, the second top scorer of Barca in the domestic championship behind Eto'o.

Yesterday, despite jumping on the pitch in the twenty minutes into the second half and with the marker clearly pro-Barça, canterano not be hid. Very active during the time that stepped on the pitch, used to perfection opportunities presented to it. The result of their will, Bojan got two goals in eight minutes and showed why he is called to be the striker's future in this team.

Moreover, yesterday scored Barca's goal number 200, was the coach in the league. It was at the 58 minute duel against Valencia when a thread is perfect Henry Cole to the left of Hildebrand.

The FC Barcelona continued to hold on to their options in the League. The set azulgrana goleó to Valladolid in a big game Bojan Krkic. The youth squad player marked two goals, two others served on a plate ... And put the red-hot fight for the title, as it subsequently lost to Madrid and Valencia is now just four points from the azulgranas.

The Barça came to the event after a week baleful. On his bad streak in the League, joined the elimination on Thursday in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey at Valencia. And all this spiced by the controversy surrounding Ronaldinho. The Brazilian returned to stay out of the call by some physical discomfort, despite the fact that medical services denied this week that is injured. And this time Frank Rijkaard not hid him, but quite the opposite, showing that his estrangement with him is growing.

Against this background, there was anticipation to see how the public would receive the Camp Nou, with a little over half-entry to his team. And the atmosphere was like in the afternoon: More than just cold, ice cream. The players were whistled when leaving the field, and the rest in various stages isolated. It also saw some banners critical. The anger was evident ...

Great Bojan, bad defense

The Barça came ready to reconcile and, incidentally, try to reengancharse to fight for the title. And it succeeded thanks largely to the contribution of the younger. From Bojan Krkic. The youth squad player, 17 years old, was the architect of the victory by serving tray on the first two goals, by Etoo and Iniesta, and mark the last two. Luck that, because the defense, this time consisting of Sylvinho, Thuram, Puyol and Zambrotta, became a coladero ...

Bojan contributed mobility, mischief and spark in attack and in the first five minutes, and was about to mark two goals. The first, at a counter where, after driblar the goal Asenjo, Baraja took out his auction under sticks (2 ). And second, by forcing showcased at goal after a superb pucelano triangulation with Iniesta and Xavi.

Asenjo was used extensively in the first 20 minutes, and their fists again 1-0 to avoid chuts of Iniesta and Toure. The Ivorian once again gave a lesson in professionalism and camaraderie to play inflitrado despite the serious back injury that suffers. An attitude of some should take note ...

Etoo amount and continues

The goal seemed only a matter of time, and was not long in coming. Bojan served as a centre from the side of the area and Etoo, coming from behind, shot to the net (1-0, 23 ). The Cameroonian, even without being at the top, gave it all for the team, and marked in its first shot on goal. His statistics say it all: 11 goals in 11 matches. You can not ask for more. The question is: where this team would have reached if it had not been three months and another injured absentee for their participation in the African Cup?.

Stops invents a penalty

But, as usual in this Barça, the triumph was not going to be easy. Still missing the stage of suffering. And this time, the work and grace of an arbitrator, Stops Romero, which was invented a penalty against the azulgranas push for a course of Thuram to Llorente to fight for a ball hung in the area. Shooting down that only existed in his imagination. Sesma became the maximum penalty (1-1, 30 ). It was the eighth penalty against those of Rijkaard this season ... And the fifth in the last six games. Another food for thought.

On both gave wings to Valladolid which grew before the break, and that was on the verge of giving another scare through Llorente (37 ) and Sesma (44).

Iniesta calm returns ... And Bojan judgement

The Barça recovered tranquillity in the resumption tempranero thank both of the other highlights another of those who never fail: Andres Iniesta. The Manchego marked the 2-1 in the 47 at the end, to driblando Asenjo, a ball hairstyle in the area by Bojan after a centre Toure.

Already in the 64 , Bojan marked the 3-1. Xavi was a failure, poorly-controlled Puyol and possible outside game - in the area, but the ball fell to the feet of Linyola that after bypass to Asenjo, marked almost no angle.

In 70 , Etoo acarició the fourth to fail just because empty door, a great pass from Xavi. Of course, the Valladolid also had good options. Sesma Manchev and crashed two balls in the post (75 and 82). And the latter was cancelled out by a goal of the game in the 78 . Despite the victory, the defense made azulgrana waters and returned to show an image concern, as happened in the past encounters with Atletico (4-2), Villarreal (1-2), Almeria (2-2) and Valencia (3 -2).

Bojan Luck, which put the icing on a great performance marking the final 4-1 in the 83 , to culminate in a goal mouth pass of death Etoo. The three points were already in the pocket. It was only waiting for the stumble from Madrid to Valencia to continue to dream of the League. And two hours later, occurred. The ches won 2-3 at the Bernabeu, putting the League to boiling point. The leaders of Schuster continue, but now only four points of Barça. And there are still 9 days by fighting ...

Torres and Albelda again showed its unconditional support to Luis Aragones

No problems. Bojan Krkic was enfundará the shirt of the Spanish selection in the friendly match against France. Although it is only for a minute, the player azulgrana comply with the formality of debut and abort definitely an option, discarded by the footballer, to defend the choice of his father, Serbia. The boy was unable to put the red in the Camp Nou on the day it was announced his first call with the selection absolute because there were several people not allowed it, some of the other club and the signing of the team that wears azulgrana.

Throughout the day on Monday, the City of Las Rozas Football was prepared to receive that will be the youngest debutant in the history of selection. However, nerves were unleashed when it was confirmed that the front of Barça not travel in the morning, because the Barça warned that he was suffering from an acute gastroenteritis box. There were ghosts, but finally confirmed that the attacker would move to Madrid in the afternoon. He arrived after 18.30 pm and did to stay and face France.

The boy did not arrive on time to participate in the meeting scheduled by Luis Aragones. However, travel to Malaga next to the other. And that may look red provoked controversy at the Camp Nou. A controversy is not only due to the wishes of some responsibility for the club not see his new icon wearing the shirt of a national team that there was no Catalonia, but Spain. It also had something to do that Barça view with Nike and Adidas with the selection. In Nike territory not caused too much joy to see a player barcelonista presuming the other brand, as reported Elconfidencial.com.

With Bojan safe, in the end it was another player dropped from the list of Luis. The valencianista Silva, who had not played against either Atletico or against Valladolid, went to a doctor who confirmed his part in the twin problems. She turned to Valencia, but touched him make the round trip. It was astray as clear as the call to defend the Liverpool Arbeloa, which takes nearly two weeks off work, but neither seems quite normal call of a footballer who had several days without being able to play. Yes, it was the Madrid Sergio Ramos, despite suffering a contracture.

Injuries and controversies outside, the first call for selection after the success of qualifying for the final phase of the Euro was marked by the unconditional support of the players Luis Aragones. The misunderstanding of the past week, when the technician showed its discontent with the announcement of the Federation, later rectified to choose his successor before the start of the European tournament marked the return to work of a template that goes to death with his coach .

There was repeated the scene of the last match to Ireland, where the technician was manteado to release players for their voice to cry in a new slogan: "Luis renewal, renewal Luis, Luis stay." Time will for that. But nearly all players made it clear that they are the technician to death with him. We may agree or not with Aragones, but the hard core will be with him until the end no matter what happens.

Fernando Torres was the bearer of the pro faction Luis: "This is not the time to talk about future selectors. Prefer Luis forward and I think that will be the case, looking forward to the Euro and by the classification. Is not the time to talk about what happen after, that does not help. Louis has the backing of the players, "he said.

Anyone who else is with him, is Albelda, convened despite his ostracism in Valencia: "I thank the míster this call. Will be difficult to go to Euro if I do not play, but football gives many turns. I do not lose hope ". Albelda will play a game in which missing due to injury one of the stars French Ribéry.

They are the present and future of Barça. The Mexican and the Linyola represent the new batch of players who look forward to the fans culés

In Bojan and Giovani they had fulfilled the wish that this year called on the night of December 31, 2006. Although it was expected a few months, finally became reality in mid-year. Both recall the 2007 as the year in which they became the first professional football team Barça , which came looking for many years since football basis. In January still playing with the Barça B , then coached by Quique Costas , but with the start of the new season, Rijkaard called up .


They have seized their chance and they are hoping to make history with a team that has lived a year to forget at the collective level, but that with these two players, the future is assured. Bojan and Giovani are large and, with them, will grow Barça.

The two have wanted to wish a happy new year 2008 to all readers SPORT, with those who expect to hold as many titles as possible. Despite the fact that the year ended with a defeat to Real Madrid , both are convinced that the team has the capacity to reverse the situation and cut the League in the seven-point difference separating them white Team. In addition, they expect to go ahead in the Champions League, which measured the Celtic Glasgow in the second round, and in the Copa del Rey , which is the first tournament of the year with the second leg of sixteenth before the Alcoyano this Wednesday at 18.00 hours at the Camp Nou. The front Linyola does while playing in the Youth Division of Honor. Indeed, in November 2005 was when I went to Barça B, which did not comply or a season before taking the leap into the Camp Nou. But the speed of burning stages Bojan is vertigo. S iempre has played with older players and he has also shown that it has room in the first template.

The future is theirs. In an era in which fans reflect on whether it had finished a cycle or even computer for a while there, which everybody agrees is that there are players to be quiet. Bojan is only 17 years, while Giovani has 18 , an age at which most players active in youth category, while they already codean with the best athlete on the planet. His precocity has caught by surprise more than one, but it has been blessed by all.

The 2008 should be the year of two players to the responsibility that weighs them not because they are accustomed to being leaders of the teams who have played. Bojan carries a lifetime pulling the cart in football basis . In all categories for which has risen since he came to 9 years has marked decisive goals, which give parties, matches and titles. Now into the first team, and despite the fact that responsibility for the moment, the other must take the Linyola gaining weight gradually and not wasted even one second that he da Frank Rijkaard . Every time he enters the field lía, leaving details available for cracks.

The same happens with Giovani . The Mexican started the season playing many minutes and was alternating with Bojan as one of the first parts in the latter parts. His progression was cut because of the ankle injury he suffered in El Collao, who kept several weeks in dry dock. Giovani was prepared to return to power and did so. Before the Stuttgart in the Champions , scored his first goal with the official jersey blaugrana. In Mestalla was one of the architects of the great victory by 0-3 giving great assistance to Gudjohnsen to close the scoreboard and enjoyed his first classic before the Madrid in which the goal was an equalizer in their boots with an auction touched Pepe and left out by a whisker.

Bojan and Giovani are going to be more and the fresh air, along with Messi and Iniesta , which lifted the morale of culés in some Christmas bitter defeat versus whites . His progression leads us to think that in 2008 can give many joys and be players of the year. Since it joined the first team on the stage of Scotland have not stopped giving giant steps. In just half a year have earned the admiration of fans and respect of his colleagues and opponents. Nobody takes Bojan and Giovani as two simple youth to start their careers, but two major players already Indeed a gap between the best.
