Bojan interview

[Guest]

I just find this really, really interesting. Particularly the way pressure affected a young man with the world at his feet.

 

Bojan Krkic: ‘I had anxiety attacks but no one wants to talk about that. Football’s not interested’

good read.

 

shame it didn't work out for him as he was a real talent but as he states there the reasons for his career going somewhat downhill is sad to hear about.

 

Social media can be so powerful but at times for all the wrong reasons. Can be destructive at times if you don't have the mental resilience to not let it get to you.

Its more common than you think, just not highly publicised

As well as the struggles ex-footballers (such as Clarke Carlisle and Dean Windass) can go through.

Reminded me of David Silva when Stoke played us.....very good player.

Always really rated Bojan from his Barca days to current and so it's such sad news to hear about this.

especially knowing that there are others going through the same thing, but too scared to say something. 

I really do wish him all the best and hopefully he can settle somewhere that his performances will be recognised.

I wouldn't mind him being given a chance with us to be honest. If he can settle and get back to his best he would be a very strong player to have.
