“This is my life and I feel privileged to live it,” said Bojan in a packed Phenomena.
Bojan Krkic decided to take the step. He did it thanks to NSN, the company founded in his day by Joel Borràs, a person whom the footballer considers “a gift that life has given me“. It has not been the only one, but it has been important. So much so that, once retired, together with someone who has been vital in the project that Borràs started, Raül Llimós, he agreed to explain everything that had been kept for him.

I have to thank Barça, the president, who has always treated me with so much affection, that shows the person you are,” Bojan concluded. when, once the documentary was finished, he appeared before a packed Phenomena to say goodbye to a film that served to explain the child, the adolescent, the young man and the man. And, in all these facets, always with Barça in the background.

“I made the plane not leave”
But, yes, his parents, Bojan Krkic and Maria Lluïsa Pérez, deserve special mention, the two people thanks to whom, without any doubt, Bojan has not only been a footballer, but has been a person and, in part for that reason , it was difficult for him in the beginning to adapt to a world that was not his until he made it his own, Bojan said when, twelve years after arriving at Barça, he left Barça.

“I made the plane not leave. I got off. I couldn’t.” These are the memories of the footballer when, after ending his contract with the club where he was born, which made him a star and which he himself caused to be like this, he remembered an episode that, this time, made his mother worry: “For me it was like cutting the umbilical cord.“There is no more beautiful metaphor to explain what, for Bojan, leaving Barça meant, an image that took him back to his childhood, which gave him back to his mother, his father, Linyola, Mollerussa, Lleida… To his childhood, to his way of understanding a world that, deep down, was never his, but that he had to accept against the current to become everything he is today.
Bojan, today, has returned to Barça, that club he should never have left. And he has done it to continue making Barça great, from his way of understanding the club and from his way of understanding life. The one that is reflected in an unmissable documentary.
