17-year-old Bojan Krkic is hopeful, but not altogether confident of making his debut with the Spanish national side this February.The FC Barcelona forward has been capped at all youth levels up to U-21, and is now on the verge of breaking through to the squad proper.
He told Marca, "I'm going to play football, given any opportunity to do so, and if the day comes that I'm called up for the selección then I will of course be grateful - if not, it's OK."
Marca believes that Bojan is almost certain to make the squad for the upcoming friendly with France in Malaga. Should he do so, and take to the pitch, then at 17 years and six months he will become the youngest Spanish international of all time.
Furthermore, it would end his chances of playing for Serbia, who are interested in having him and for whom Bojan is also eligible due to his father.
Bojan was today at Camp Nou for a kids' presentation entitled "Vull ser futbolista" ("I want to be a footballer" in Catalan), an essay competition run by the European Association of Former Footballers and the Catalan Football Federation.
The player himself read out a paper that he wrote when he was eight years old, when he idolised then-Barcelona forward Patrick Kluivert and dreamed of playing for the blaugrana or Manchester United.
"I thought of United because they're a big club, but I always wanted to play for Barcelona," said Bojan.
