Krkic Keeping His Feet On The Ground

Bojan Krkic's rise to prominence continued during FC Barcelona's mini-tour of Scotland and has surprised nobody more than the young player himself.

The 16-year-old striker failed to score in the victories over Dundee United and Hearts, but was impressive during both outings.

Despite his rapid rise to the top, Krkic is keeping his feet on the ground and knows that things have happened very quickly for him.

"This time last year I was doing pre-season training with the youth team," he said after the win over Hearts at Murrayfield on Saturday.

"I have had two very good year and did not expect any of this," he said. "I am very conscious of that and it is for that reason that I am staying calm and am excited by the way things are going.

"When I go on to the pitch I forget everything. I am calm and I focus as hard as I can to do everything I can as well as possible and to progress gradually."

Krkic linked up well with Thierry Henry during the second half of the Hearts encounter, which Barça thanks to two goals from Ronaldinho and one from Giovani Dos Santos.

"To play up front with Henry is very easy," he continued. "When you look up he is always by your side and very easy to find. That is why he is Henry."

Despite impressing during Barças pre-season, Krkic could be set to miss out on the rest of the programme if he is called up for the preparatory phase of hte Under-17 World Championships.

Although that would be an honour, the youngster would prefer to continue learning alongside the host of stars in the Blaugrana squad.

"It would be a pity because I am doing well and feel comfortable," he added. "What I am interested in is continuing to grow as a player and I am doing that here. I hope all this is solved quickly."
