Osasuna was in the Kingdom of Navarre, the first rival to that faced formally striker.
It had lost much of the preseason and could only work during the stage from Saint Andrews because he had to leave for South Korea to play the World sub'17 with Spain. But nothing else landing at Barcelona, Rijkaard took him to Pamplona and it did formally debut. There was no time to lose. The reign of Bojan should begin.
Today marks 365 days since Giovani dos Santos welcomed the Linyola of the Kingdom of Navarre, who entered the field of play in minute 78. It was the beginning of a great season, which scored 12 goals, a spectacular figure if we consider that it took only 17 years old and in his first campaign with the first team. Today Bojan faces a new encounter with Barca, in the first match of the Champions liguilla, compared with Sporting Lisbon. If last year was very good at the individual level, not what was both collective, an account pending Bojan Krkic hoped that resolving this season, making some lift title.
Meanwhile, still adding to its records and minutes still short football career at the professional level. With a new contract finished signing, hopes to emulate one of the people in which more confident in the dressing room Blaugrana, Carles Puyol, who today precisely meets 400 matches with the first team shirt. There is still far, but many years ahead. And, above all, much football.
During these 365 days became the third youngest debutant in league with Barca (17 years and 20 days), an honor that holds Leo Messi (17 years, 3 months and 22 days). Not much was slow in doing what it does best, goals. It was on the eighth day, October 20, 2007. And he did in his first game as owner in the club of Frank Rijkaard. The negative note was that beat Villarreal at the Madrigal, but was unable to avoid defeat (3-1). One of the most anticipated moments for the Blaugrana was his debut in the Champions League. It was also at the first opportunity which took Frank Rijkaard at the first meeting of the liguilla, at home to Olympique Lyon on September 19, three days later than in League debut. On that occasion was less minutes in the Kingdom of Navarre, since it came in minute 88 by replacing Leo Messi.
His first goal in the Champions soon arrive. The Dutch coach preferred not to pressure the player with that occasion. It could have been in Lyon, where he played the entire match and contributed actively in the 2-2 who managed the club. But it was not. Faced with Stuttgart at home, left mediated the second half. Not before Celtic played in eighths and it was not until quarters, to Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen, April 1, when Bojan premiered at European level and, although no longer had time to overcome the record Oforiquaye, more scorer couple in Champions, it gave the victory to his team (0-1).
In Cup had marked much earlier in dieciseisavos in the field of Alcoyano. Bojan last season demonstrated his great ability goleadora making mark in all three competitions in which they participated. Now, 18 years, begins a new challenge in a team that, after two seasons in white, is bound to win any title. Bojan will be important. As always.
