The coach turned off the debate at Bojan giving him the title and the squad returned to mark the Blaugrana two and a half months later.

Bojan Krkić used his first match as the holder of this season to complete a superb performance: two goals, three more times and seamless connection with the companions of attack, Messi and Hleb.

Bojan krkic celebra uno de los dos goles que marcó anoche ante el Basilea Josep Guardiola was a double aim yesterday. On the one hand, that his players left their best to concentrate sentencing classification for the quarter finals. On the other, turn off several of the debates open football boot in this campaign, such as the lack of minutes for Bojan.

The decision follows Blaugrana technical effort to spread among most of the staff. Yesterday he did not hesitate to leave the bench to Eto'oy Messi and include in the 'eleven' to several players who, for various reasons, have had little prominence until now. Hleb, Sylvinho and Krkić were able to enjoy the title and not missed.

In the case of Bojan, who stood in the axis of attack between Messi and Hleb, the Linyola was removed from the thirst for goal. Not marked with Barca already distant from the friendly face of Fiorentina last July 30. More was yet the latest in a formal commitment: May 4, 2008, at 6-0 to Valencia from Ronald Koeman. That day, the young striker set two targets, as yesterday. For a cazagoles as leridano, accustomed to dialing hundreds of times in his little more than eighteen years for that life goes so fast, those five months were an eternity.

The longing to fulfill the orders to perfection-be dynamic, participatory, press the exit of the ball, off ...- conditioned the first minutes of Bojan who was overly generous in the 7 to attend minutes when Messi had to shoot, or when he drew an offside in the 8 ' after a good pass from Hleb. She was with the cane list in the 17 'for a good center Dani Alves. It would be at minute 22 when the boy was able to remove, finally, the pressure. It was with the ball on the balcony of the area, searched the area progressing towards the pole to the left of Costanzo and shot satin stick to the contrary. Was 0-3.

Bojan, freed from the pressure, looked for his second before the break and both had a couple of balls to get clear. But it would be in the a minute of the restart when he would get. Krkić rivet with a master hand in hand with the Basel goalkeeper of drawing a backlash that touches on two armed Xavi and Busquets.

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.

Barça-Valladolid 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 ...

The head of the combined national has stated in a press conference that: "The list of players I want to bring to the Euro does not differ much from the known to all, as they have been they who have achieved the classification and are architects of this success. "

Bojan Krkic marking a goal with selección In his statements, has talked about the young star of FC Barcelona, which has stated that: "We are doing very well. True, we follow him but I have not yet decided whom to feed call. Patience I would ask the media communication, from where they point over and over again the names of those invited.

The Wise of Hortaleza has referred to the situation of David Albelda, captain of Valencia and away from the team by Ronald Koeman.

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.
