Bojan: "One never forgets how to score"

Anna Segura

Bojan Krkic scored his first official goal of the season in the 5-1 triumph over Ceuta on Wednesday and hopes that it will boost his confidence.

The striker found the net in the Copa del Rey win in Camp Nou after missing a first half penalty. “It is an important goal, especially after the penalty,” he said. “I needed that to be calm. Goals always bring confidence.”

Pep Guardiola remained faithful to Bojan and the forward was delighted. “The confidence of the coach in me has been fundamental,” he added. “I always want to score because it gives me strength to keep going. One never forgets how to score though.”

Dedication

After scoring Bojan chose a specific celebration and stated afterwards why. “The dedication of the arch was for Jonathan,” he explained.

Below is what some of the other players had tos ay:

Nolito:

“It was great and a dream come true. It is the best thing to have happened to me at Barça. I am very pleased with the win and the goal.”

“The experience in the first team has been great. I am enjoying it as if I was a kid. I have to continue working and then see what happens.”

“I have the confidence of both Luis Enrique and Pep (Guardiola). My place is with the B team and I will continue to work hard there.”

“I have been a Barça fan since I was young and I want to stay. That is my aim.”

Mascherano:

“I am pleased with the victory. People thought it would be easy against them, but I thought we played a serious game. We went about things calmly.”

“My role is more defensive than offensive but in this team I can participate more because we have so much possession. I want to make the right passes and every day I am learning the coach’s ideas.”

Sergi Roberto:

“I have to work hard game-by-game to continue doing the best I possibly can.”

“It is important to maintain focus in games like this. Sometimes your rhythm can be affected if you do not play more.”

“I was great to go on and be given a good reception at Camp Nou.”

“I want to cherish that moment. Whoever plays for Barça wants that.”

“Everyone at Barça wants to reach the first team. We have to work because the chances will come while Pep is the coach.”

“To play alongside the best players in the world helps to go into the game well.”

Thiago:

“I was only missing a goal. We have had two great chances but I hope that I will be able to go closer and closer to the goal as time goes on.”

“One has to be self-critical or you cannot grow.”

Pinto:

“I had a relatively quiet time and that was a good sign of how the team was.”
