The player Linyola of 17 years, may enjoy a deserved vacation and will begin to cap the preseason

Bojan will not be in the Euro, which already was known for weeks, when he was one of those who did not have to be vaccinated against the famous tick-it did so Iniesta, Puyol and Xavi. In recent days had been open the possibility that outside convened since Luis Aragones insisted bring, even though the player had already assumed that, for now, his football should enjoy the sub'21. Finally, yesterday cleared all doubts and footballer not even debut with the Spanish team absolute.

Throughout the day yesterday speculated with many reasons why it would not be on the list that morning made public the state selector, but among some secondary, which has more weight is the willingness to give rest to the player who has only with 17 years and this season, has had to assume much more Responsibility for that, in principle, we pertoca by its specific weight in the first template Barca. But based on great performances and, above all, goals, Bojan you've found it very hard to avoid convening Luis. In fact, until the last moment it has not ruled out. And then came yesterday. He was a consensus. The Wise of Hortaleza wanted to talk directly with the player to hear directly what had intentions regarding the Euro. Both were able to talk via telephone before training evening that Frank Rijkaard's team conducted yesterday at La Masia, at six p.m.. Both were quickly agree. They spoke and Bojan thanked the selector who trust him, even though it has not yet made his debut with the absolute.

But the decision not taken between Luis and the striker, but was consensus among all parties, including the club, which also had much to say. The club feels that, for a player of age, Bojan has already done what it should this season, even more, since it has assumed more minutes of that, in principle, should have.

And is that the footballer has not only been fixed in the alignments of Frank Rijkaard, but also has been in the calls for the Spanish team sub'21 in which has become one of the references. In addition, last summer, which led him to make the jump from Barcelona B to the first template was very moved and just took a breath, something necessary for a player that anyone should olvidársele, is still in youth category. In fact, comply with the 18 years this coming August, the day 28. The Linyola of, in May last year, was playing in the European sub'17 Belgium, who came to a tournament having made his debut with the first team in Egypt, the party that finally detonated the 'boom Bojan'. He combined his appearances in the Spanish youth, with whom he also played the World Cup in August in Korea, with Barca B, before giving the final leap to the first team, which conducted the preseason. Ultimately, a year fraught with very parties that the striker has culminated with numbers crack. In its 17 years has scored 12 goals in all three competitions in which it has participated Barca: League (10), Champions (1) and Cup (1).
