Bojan Krkic: I'll Play Anywhere For Barcelona

Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic has insisted that playing in the central striking role is not central to his immediate ambitions as a player and he insists that he is willing to play anywhere for Barca, as long as he is playing.

"It is not up to me to say who plays the center forward's role. If it means being a Barcelona player for many years, I'll play out wide or up front or whatever," he declared at a press conference.
 
"I'm a striker and can play all three positions. If I need to play on the wing, I'm ready."

The 19-year-old striker is one game off his 100th appearance for the Blaugrana and he has revealed that while is happy just to be involved with what he describes as "the best team in the world", he says that his long-term goal is to establish himself as the first choice number 9 at the club.

"The road is long because we are talking about the best team in the world.  It is true that my dream is to be able to occupy that position, but for now I am very happy to be here," he remarked.
