Bojan Krkic isn't about to throw a strop over the lack of action he's seen for Barcelona this season. Along with veteran fullback Sylvinho, Krkic is the only Barca first teamer yet to start a match this term under new coach Pep Guardiola.

"I am a young player and it is true that I need to play, but I am also at one of the best clubs in the world, 18 years old and I have great confidence in myself," said the Spain international.

"In the minutes you have, you must try to maximize those.

"The truth is that the coach has involved me in almost all the matches, and recently in difficult situations for the team."
