Bojan Krkic Perez's Life and Career Journey in Football "His speed and extraordinary dribling has recorded more than 900 goals in the Barcelona youth team"

Bojan Krkic Perez, was born on August 28, 1990 in Linyola, Spain. He was born to a man who works as a football player. His father comes from Serbia and has played for OFK Beograd. Little Bojan loved soccer. He even entered the football academy at the age of eight.

The player who is known for his speed and extraordinary dribling has recorded more than 900 goals in the Barcelona youth team. The coach of the Barcelona youth team at that time was even taken aback by the talent that Bojan had.

Bojan played for the Barcelona academy from 1999 to 2006. According to his father, he became the most prominent player. He won many awards and attracted the attention of many parties.

It should be noted, apart from pursuing his football career at Barcelona, ??Bojan also occasionally accepted a job as a child model. But, nevertheless, Bojan is a football player who has been prepared to carry out a tough task to keep FC Barcelona stable.

In the 2006/07 season, Bojan signed a professional contract with FC Barcelona at the age of 17. Bojan played his first match with Barcelona on 24 April 2007, and scored a goal in a friendly against Egyptian club Al Ahly SC.

In the following season, or precisely on September 16 2007, Bojan made his official debut for Barcelona against Osasuna, replacing Giovani dos Santos in the 78th minute. He even broke Lionel Messi's record by becoming FC Barcelona's youngest debutant. At that time, Bojan was 17 years and 19 days old.

Three days later, Bojan made his debut in the European Champions League competition against Lyon. He became a substitute for Lionel Messi in the 88th minute. Bojan, at the time, was the youngest Barcelona player to ever appear in a Champions League match.

Not only that, Bojan then made his second Champions League appearance on October 2, arriving in the 81st minute to replace Ronaldinho against VfB Stuttgart. On 20 October 2007 or exactly at the age of 17 years and 53 days, Bojan played a league match against Villarreal and scored a goal in the 25th minute. The goal was also his first goal for the first team and made him the youngest goalscorer for Barcelona in a league match.

In addition to this goal record, in the Champions League, Bojan also broke a similar record. He became the youngest goalscorer in the most prestigious competition in Europe against Schalke 04.

In that season, Bojan scored 10 goals and broke Raul Gonzales' record as the youngest debutant with the most goals.

In the following season, or in 2008/09, Bojan officially wore the number 11 jersey after the departure of Gianluca Zambrota. Although playing a not too significant role, Bojan managed to help FC Barcelona to win their La Liga title. He also helped Barcelona to their first Copa del Rey win in 11 years by scoring five goals in the competition, including one in the final against Athletic Bilbao.

That season, Bojan was part of the success of FC Barcelona, ??which won the treble. For that season, he scored three goals in the 10 match chances given by the coach.

The next two seasons, Bojan was still in the FC Barcelona uniform and became the coach's choice. He even wore the number 9 jersey following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's departure to AC Milan. Right in the 2010/11 season, he played his 100th match for FC Barcelona against Getafe.

Because he did not get too many opportunities, Bojan then moved to Italy. At that time, he decided to join AS Rom in 2011. He was paid a dowry of 12 million euros and in his contract he could be permanent by the club from the capital.

However, Bojan's potential was not really honed. Despite making 33 appearances with the Wolf Team, Bojan then moved to another Serie A team, namely AC Milan.

On 29 August 2012, Bojan joined Milan on a season-long loan from Roma. At that time, Milan through Adriano Galliani insisted on making a purchase agreement for the player at the end of the season. But Barcelona did not agree and did not accept AC Milan's offer.

So in the 2012/13 season, Bojan returned to Barcelona. Even though he returned to Barcelona, ??he, who was thought to be able to replace Lionel Messi, often changed clubs. In fact, when he had just returned to Barca, Bojan went back and this time Ajax Amsterdam was the goal.

In July 2013, Ajax announced that they had officially recruited Bojan Krkic. At that time, Bojan explained that the conversation with Johan Cruyff had influenced his decision to move to Ajax. Bojan made his debut for his new club on 13 July 2013 in a pre-season friendly against RKC Waalwijk.

On 27 July 2013, Bojan won his first trophy with Ajax, namely the Johan Cruyff Shield. However, he only lasted one season at the capital club.

Unlike in Rome, Milan and Ajax which only lasted one season at each club, Bojan's career at Stoke was quite good, being able to last two and a half seasons. Yes, after leaving Ajax, Bojan moved to the premier league to join Stoke City. He has also agreed a new contract with The Potters which binds him until 2020.

However, one thing remained the same, Bojan had lost his magical touch. The statistics for 10 league goals in his debut season at Barca are now Bojan's best record. Including when he was in Serie A, Eredivisie and the Premier League.

After being loaned to Mainz and hoping for a miracle to happen, in fact, Bojan returned to Stoke empty-handed.

Until right on August 7, 2019, Bojan joined the Major League Soccer club, Montreal Impact.

The charm of Bojan is now not as attractive as it was a decade ago. His name may only make an impression on Football Manager fans in the era of 2008, 2009 or 2010. However, Bojan is not entirely worthy of being called a failed wonderkid. He is still able to make a career in Europe's top leagues, scoring goals and earning a salary.

In the Spanish national team, his career was mediocre. Bojan was only able to celebrate trophies with the junior team without ever achieving with the first team.

Bojan, in the end, is just a normal footballer, as he himself put it.
