Bojan Krkic says that he became emotional after coming off the bench in the 1-1 draw with West Ham.

It marked the first appearance for the Spaniard since the middle of September. He has been struggling with injuries for a long time. The former Barcelona forward was a revelation in his first season at the club. Many were left surprised with the quick adaptation by the 26-year-old to life in the Premier league. Injuries often bring a career to a standstill and it appears to be the case with Bojan Krkic of late. After managing to score 7 goals in 27 league appearances last season, he has had a stop start campaign this time around.

BojanKrkic is a player that was being hyped up since the start of his career as he actually made his first-team debut at a younger age that even Lionel Messi as Krkic made his debut when he was 17 years and 19 days old.

He eventually went on to make over 100 appearances with Barcelona but could never really impress and was eventually released to other clubs on loan deals and any of the clubs opted to retain him on a permanent deal.

World football governing body FIFA has blocked the switch of Spain international Bojan Krkic to Serbia, according to reports.

The former Barcelona forward wanted to change allegiance to Serbia so a transfer of international eligibility was sought. FIFA denied this request since Bojan has already featured in a World Cup qualifying game for Spain.

Stoke City may soon accept their defeat in the pursuit of strikerSaido Berahino according to manager Mark Hughes.

The club have been chasing the West Brom striker for quite a while, but Tony Pulis seems unwilling to sell the star forward for anything less than £ 30 million. Berahino has also been linked with Tottenham which makes it doubly tough for Stoke to come away with the prized signing. Spurs will be able to offer Champions League football for the England international whereas Stoke City have been quite inconsistent with the European qualification over the last few years.

Stoke City is set to meet with the Pep Guardiola-led side in the second game of the English Premier League on Saturday, August 20, 2016. Stoke City are in the lower half of the table as they place 11th after their draw in a keenly contested game against newly promoted side Middlesbrough.

Stoke City were impressive

Mark Hughes says that he feels happy with the performances of his team in pre-season.

The manager was speaking in glowing terms about the team even after they are 1-0 defeat against German outfit Hamburg. The 1-0 loss was the second friendly defeat after Stoke City started their pre-season in the worst possible manner with a 3-0 loss against lower league Burton Albion. Michael Gregoritsch scored nine minutes into the second half and this turned out to be the only goal of the game.

With every criticism ripe for the England team and Roy Hodgson getting the brunt of the deal, few have spoken up in his defense. One such expert is Bojan Krkic.

This former footballer is a popular voice in related media publications and he has expressed his thoughts on the performance of the England team and how their coach tried hard to make things right for the team. As per Bojan the star players of the team failed to show enthusiasm and the desperation to win, which is needed in any team when it is playing rounds in a league tournament. England has failed to show a killer instinct and that could be due to the fatigue that they felt coming on as they played one tournament after another.

Bojan Krkic was an extremely promising teenager when he came through the ranks at Barcelona.

However, he went from the status as a relative unknown for a majority of the fans towards being on the verge of being called up for the Spain national team. More importantly,Krkic was expected to be part of the Spanish national team travelling to the Euro 2008. It would have been a crowning moment for any player wishing to be part of the national team, butKrkic’s offer came at the age of 17. He was just diagnosed with an anxiety attack just a few months ago.

Former Barcelona player, Bojan Krkic mentioned his frustrations at Stoke City to reporters. The former AC Milan forward had a lot of potential when he broke top of the famous Barcelona football academy but has now found himself at Stoke City with issues with regular starts.

Bojan Krkic recently had a run out for the Catalonia national team. Catalonia is not recognised by FIFA as an international team.
This coupled with Stoke City not having a break during Christmas meant that Krkic had been unable to feature for Catalonia in their annual friendly game. This time around, the Stoke City forward has been able to feature and expresses his delight. Krkic has played for Barcelona and Roma before joining Stoke City. A winter break is usually the norm in Spanish and Italian leagues, but it is the time when there are a lot of fixtures in the Premier League.
