It is essential the contribution of the players who did not hold for the championship but they have to play key games during a given period. At the end of this season, a player out of the starting lineup can be key for winning the titles. And it is neither Maxwell nor Keita and Mascherano. There is one that deserves special mention. Bojan Krkic is that I speak, which should play a lot of matches and will have to be 100% prepared to be one of the men instrumental.

Bojan had his appearance and his big break with Frank Rijkaard, the coach who made his debut and made him get many minutes in important fields. The player did not disappoint and won a place in Barca's Guardiola. With Santpedor coach, Bojan is maturing and last season fell many mouths that were criticized throughout the league and helped Barcelona to win the title. Ibrahimovic's injury, took the job to Swedish and played outstanding last few league games, scoring decisive goals in complex fields such as El Madrigal, where he managed a goal in Week 35, making a great game in Tenerife, marking a giving goal and two assists, and scored on Sanchez Pizjuan in Week 37, deciding a key game for Barca conquered a week after the league title at the Camp Nou, against Valladolid.

This year, Bojan should come up to last season and playoffs will have to play by the groin injury of his partner Peter, an injury that will drag until the end of the season and will prevent him play every game. Therefore, when Peter need to rest, Bojan will have to keep up and perform at last year's level. Bojan is a goalscorer and needs all the confidence and support of the fans and their peers. His goal and especially his stand against Sevilla last time we saw were excellent and Pedro wanted to become pressing and working on defense in the second half when the club was struggling.

Within the field can be understood well with Messi and Villa. Plays with intelligence movements with and without the ball, it's the players that it is worth looking into it for a few seconds. Is able to provide the passes and assists of his companions behind, mainly Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets. He has shown he can play center or in the band and last year made good connections with Leo Messi. This year we hope to be back at such a high level. You can do this, you have qualities and attitude

On ended with a sad, very sad that the family has shocked Barcelona and the world of sports in general. Abidal will have to undergo surgery on Friday to a tumor in the liver. At 31 years, the great French footballer has been face to face with the more dramatic side of life, just a happy moment of his career. I send all my support and love. He and his family, which also is suffering. Courage, 'Abi'!

His goals in the most delicate moment of the season accompanied the team to victory

Bojan Krkic is the player that has matured since his arrival at the first team. He debuted with 17 years of Frank Rijkaard's hand and then gain the trust of coach went through difficult times in the locker room when the results started to go wrong. Since its emergence, its name has been frequently linked to the transfer market but always Linyola has been clear that their intention is to succeed at Barca. And it is this perseverance led the team Barca to win the league championship last season, as goals from Bojan in the final of the championship was an excellent balm for a team that was emotionally touched after the elimination semi-final Champions.

Bojan started the season on the bench, but ended up sitting even during Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Catalan is claimed on the field and emerged as one of the best players in the final straight of the championship. He finished with some outstanding numbers, with 1045 minutes of League and a total of 8 goals.

The young striker has always embraced its role within the team, waiting patiently for his time and defending their choices both in training and in matches, when he had the chance.

This will be his fourth season at first team, a true veteran of 20 years who are willing to get this is your great season.

A year and a half after its debut, in the debate over whether Bojan has slowed its progression, the Barcelona striker celebrated his second match as the holder in League this season, doing what she does best: the marking of both the collision with the Almería

"I could take my chance, but the most important victory was achieved and maintained the advantage in the standings. I know that I work with the same mentality, and so the results and reach goals, "he explains in an interview with AFP.

Dizzying 18 months have passed since its debut, 543 days since the explosion of the phenomenon Bojan. "Everything went very fast for me, I get everything at once," the front, twelve goals (ten in the league, in a 'Champions' Cup and one in) in 48 games under the command of Frank Rijkaard, "the' mister 'I entered this world, and that I will always be very grateful because it gave me an opportunity and also continuity. "

By then, things were not working at Can Barça. The team, which came one season after giving the White League to Real Madrid, he had squandered all his credit and was installed into complacency.

Eto'o was again seriously injured, was not adapted Henry and Ronaldinho continued his fall sharply. Bojan increased the prominence of each game and the club, tired of a team that seemed to have tired of win, welcomed it as a new idol.

But their adaptation andalusia azulgrana apparel was not as easy as it lives on the pitch. "In a football costume together 21 high-level professionals. Last year, things were not going well, and lived a little part of what is bad football, but that gave me a lot of experience on how to move in this world. There was nothing unusual in that dress, but I was the child, who was not accustomed to anything, " recalls.

Among the components of the plan, especially one of them, Frenchman Thierry Henry, Bojan welcomed as a big brother and was in charge of protecting him. "Titi was identified with my progress, because he started very young, like me, it was a new costume for him and received me in a special way, it is true that we have a good connection."

A year later, things have changed a lot for the tip Catalan. Rijkaard is no longer is Pep Guardiola who leads the team and Ronaldinho for Milan, Barcelona has changed. Eto'o now fully recovered, is a 'draft', Henry has been rehabilitated and Messi has become the number one.

"It's difficult to play when you're on the bench and got Messi, Eto'o and Henry in front, three players of what is best in the world, but the important thing is to be happy with your work, be aware that you train strong and doing everything possible to play. Then, the technician must choose 21 players, and it no longer depends on you, "he explains.

Now, the Linyola has already earned the respect of dress, but admits he expected to have a greater role in his second season. "It came with the intention to participate a little more, to form part of the team, but the situation is as it is and I'm not unhappy."

Bojan says it will be quiet "until further progress" and that everything is learned by example "how to be a winning team, the experience from the other side, the part where the team you play and work less."

So ilerdense striker, who served as majority signed a professional contract until 2013 (80 million euro break clause), there is no change of scenery, at least for now.

"Since last year, my goal is to be in this group and grow in all senses, in this house for me has always been very special at this club and continue for many years, "said Bojan, who added that" nobody "has it" never "given the possibility to leave," and if you ever have to reach that day, and talk. "

With Guardiola has had less minutes, but their numbers are not negligible: it has nine goals (two league yesterday, three in 'Champions' Cup and four) in 30 games, but his descent into eleven seemed to have reduced to encounters domestic KO of the tournament, which has always been starting.

Therefore, Bojan Krkic be trusted'9 'holder of Barcelona in the final Mestalla (May 13) against the Athletic Club, but is cautious when someone asks him the matter.

"It's true that I've been in Cup play everything, but the staff and many players not me who decides," said Bojan, who says that the only thing that matters is winning this final, "and is playing, not playing, marked or not marked, but win by the team, by the fans for the club and for me, because it's my first title with Barça. "

Bojan is right, is who decides Guardiola, who claims not to have any problem, but unless you mime Rijkaard. "The 'mister' I am treated like any other: I corrected what I have to correct and encourage me when I have to encourage," says canterano who, unlike others, does not seem well as to dispose in praise to the new coach.

El Reyno de Navarra is a special Bojan. A year ago, four months and that was the scene of the debut of the First canterano

On September 16, 2007, Barca tied to zero in Pamplona in an ugly game, and defensive unbearably boring. From that day has been the story for the debut of Bojan Krikc in the first plan of FC Barcelona.

Bojan, who had been obliged to interrupt the preseason that he had done with the Barcelona's first team to contest the World Cup with Spain Sub'17, had lost the first three weeks of competition and was in Pamplona where he could rejoin the team.

He started the match on the bench and Rijkaard decided to enter the field in 78 minutes of game instead of Giovani Dos Santos.

In those twelve minutes, Bojan cuajó a superb performance that included a game in which primorosa a rabona overflowed output Ricardo, but eventually ran out of angle to score.

With 17 years and twenty days, Bojan became the third youngest player in the history of Barcelona debut after Vicente Martinez, who took 16 years and 10 months in 1941, and Ramon Parera, who played his first game with 16 years and eleven months in 1929. Bojan officially debuted three months unless Messi.

Since then, Bojan Krkic, despite having only 18 years and accumulated 68 matches Officers with the first team which has 16 goals. All these figures are cumulative from League Cup and Champions League. Last season marked the three competitions while in the latter has already marked in Copa del Rey and Champions League.

Bojan has 19 parties contested. Of these, 11 have been in the league, 5 in the Champions League and 3 in the Copa del Rey.

It is his second year in the first team. One year, many times more difficult than the first. The front Linyola, as always, is to overcome itself based on goals scored

Time is a tap that is still sprouting. Sometimes you do drop by drop, slowly, in others, the liquid flowing on a regular basis. Bojan for the water comes to borbotones, and he slips between your hands without being able to hold it. When you look at your palms, there are only drops, memories of everything lived. In his 18 years is still poorly. Or a lot. Everything is relative.

What do you see when you look back?

The truth is that it gives vertigo to look back. The last three years have been very backward in a very short time. And the truth is that I've been reaching goals very important.

Have you changed much life?

Yes, quite.

In what sense?

In the sense of privacy. In fact go out on the street and no longer be the same as soon as he was leaving with more freedom. For the things we are doing now are other consequences.

How does fame?

At first, not being accustomed, I got a little Scramble, but like everything in life, you've just used.

Has lasted more than a season in the first team What did you learn at this time?

Well ... Well to be on a professional wardrobe. It's something you tanned a lot as a person in many aspects.

As a player, what you need to reach their zenith as a footballer?

I think I'm learning a lot sharing a dressing room with players of that level is here. This makes each day reach new goals and attitudes, but I do not like to make a very distant goal because the goal is to improve each day.

He started playing little. At any time came to despair?

Not really. I have always been very calm and I have always relied much on trying to take advantage of the many or the few minutes you may have. It is true that this season started with a few minutes, but never despair.

Would you give some explanation Guardiola?

No, no, no. I am a player over the template. We are a squad with many players and not all have to play. We must all be prepared to take advantage of the opportunities we have.

Take a few minutes, Anyway, it could affect his game, his performance.

Yes, the truth is that when you do not play that anxiety of wanting to prove who you are in a short time. And that leads you to hasty action and a bit of desperation. What we are trying to be as quiet as possible and try to play as long as you would with any confidence.

What difference is between last season and the present? What reasons have to explain this metamorphosis?

I think last year and did not start too well. It was a group that had won many titles and earlier this year is an entirely new group, with the mentality totally different. We started very well.

In an interview on TV3 said that there were many things last year that this year will not pass. What was?

I do not know, I think last year was a year that has passed. We have to forget it. This year I'm finding very well and things are leaving me very well.

The departure of some players who perhaps had already won too much and that they had exhausted hunger, can be key in the recovery of the team?

I do not know, I do not know exactly what the players had illusion of last year, I am speaking as a group. And as a group, the truth is that it conveys joy, and when the team leaves the field you do with a desire to win and to go everywhere, from the first minute until last.

What difference is between Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola?

Each coach is a world and has her things. The two are very good coaches. With a year and I was with Guardiola took two months. What I can say is that you both understand a lot of football.

What title would make him more hope to win?

I have not ever won none (with the first team of FC Barcelona). So any way that might make me win a lot of excitement.

Whatever, the fact dreams of lifting a trophy, to be champion?

Yes, really. Whenever you work with the aim of reaching the final with the reward of winning a title. For me and all my colleagues would be a huge satisfaction.

Last year marked twelve goals scored ten league games, one in and one Champions Cup. This year has been running for three. Is mark a goal in that regard?

No, the truth is that, Fortunately, every year I've marked enough goals. I am not an objective framework, saying: 'I did last year twelve and this year I do 13'. No, no. Just trying to do things right, I go well and not obsessed with scoring. Then, if it comes, the better.

If I had to choose, choose the Ballon d'or the Golden Boot?

They are two prizes to the work you do throughout the season. I'm not working to win the Golden Boot and Golden Ball. I only working to improve as a footballer and as a person too, and if in the future these awards come much better.

Who would it be this year?

A Leo. Not because he is my companion costume, but because it is a different player. A player who does things that nobody in the world of football today can do.

How do you explain that from the first moment we entered the Camp Nou, communion with the fans is so beast?
I do not know, the truth is that it is difficult to explain. I am very grateful to the fans of FC Barcelona since last year because I have things much easier. Playing in a stadium like the Nou Camp with only 17 years always impresses. So if you have over the support of the fans, because a lot better.

What do you feel when 90,000 people ovations?

The truth is that I have no words to explain it. These are feelings that you get the hair-raising, feelings of much gratitude toward all of them.

Indeed, when he thought: 'I give this good of football'?

Going back to what we commented before ... I never played in the quarry with the goal of being in the first team, but to improve each year as a player, to enjoy every week of football and football the same as I would say where it could reach as a player.

What are your earliest memories of Barca?

I remember when I came here to do the tests. The call. Had not yet youngest, I was at school and in the summer following the Latest began. Only 20 kids came and told me that I was one of them. I remember the early years of displacement from the train with Mollerusa for Barca.

It is far away.

Very far.

The tap since then has not ceased to flow. The water is still escaping from their hands. Bojan try to withhold the more better, but it should not be feared. Each time your feet feel the impact of a drop, Bojan grows. Their roots are stronger, thicker, prepared to sustain what is to come. Right and wrong. The positive and negative. Bojan is growing, but has not yet reached the sun.
