Messi's Cousin Was Almost Better Than Him, But What Happened? The Bojan Krkic Story
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2024
- The story of Bojan Krkic is one of many failed wonderkids who never lived up to their potential, we’ve heard and seen of examples of players like that many, many times already. But what makes Bojan different is that, he was probably the most hyped European wonderkid, and most promising Barcelona youth product of all time. I mean you saw the intro, I know many of you thought his numbers were better than even Messi’s at an early age. I know there are a few videos already out about Bojan but I wanted to make a different one and focus it on why he didn't live up to his potential - not entirely just about his career path. Leave a like if you enjoyed and let me know what vid you want next 🙏 ❤️

I wanted to focus more on the reasoning behind Bojan’s lack of success and the factors behind it while also shining more light on mental health and awareness.
I know there’s a few videos of this topic out already, but I already worked on the script so didn’t want to stop lmao - so this is how I want to make it different.

Hi raymar thank you for doing a video on Bojan because I remember requesting it. Could you now a video of pierluigi collina
You did great, football is a very emasculated sport and can become very toxic easily. Good for calling this out ...
@@joaorufino4952 VEEERY toxic. I saw some comments on twitter under posts about how Ronaldo and Georgina lost a newborn. They were trolling and making fun of it. Like bruh 🤦♂️
Hi raymar love the vids but can you make a video about just how good was Jimmy Johnstone truly underrated
Hi this is dad great vid
The most underrated part of Bojan’s career is that he was much happier to be out of the major spotlight, just playing the game he loves for “smaller” clubs and keeping to himself. And if he’s happy, that all that matters to be honest
Yeah but still it's so sad to see such a good player fall due to pressure
So true
Couldn’t agree more!
IT WAS AKINFENWA AND LORD BENDTNER
Hi raymar thank you for doing a video on Bojan because I remember requesting it. Could you now a video of pierluigi collina?
It's kinda crazy how Messi was only 23 and there was already a next Messi 😂
messi didn’t blow up until his 3rd season tbf haha
What's crazy is that you think that there's another Messi. There has never been nor will there ever be another Messi.
It's just a one Messi, no 1 else will ever exist.... I won't even argue with anyone about that😂 Messi too had his own childhood health problems, but he was meant to be.... Jst like Jesus, there wil also be only One Messi🤗🤗
@@sseruwoozarobert791 comparing Messi to Jesus is absurd but i get your point, but there will 100% be someone better than Messi in the future, if he can take the burden like messi and continue of course..
@@WxnBum It was just an example I guess, @the name of Jesus every knee should bow....
The same applies to Messi😂
There wil be good players but his skills, IQ, love for⚽, his dribbling,those passes....7golden boots, 7 ballon d'ors of which 4 are consecutive,, 20+ assists & 50+ goals every season,, 90goals in a calendar year, i mean such achievements no one wil ever
He broke records at youth level, he could of been the goat. You have you feel bad for him the way his career turned out
Bojan admits (I show it in the end of the video) that he would rather be away from the limelight and just do his own thing for smaller clubs! If he had a more extroverted or narcissistic personality, could have definitely been a reality imo
I don't really think, "his career turned out bad for him", it was his destiny, he didn't have the mental fortitutde built into him to withstand pressure, and thus had anxiety problems.
In simple words, neither him nor anybody could've done anything(except that knee injury), that would helped him turn into a GOAT, because he didn't have the mental capacity/strength to withstand pressure.
@@dank7044 that is to simplistic and it seems like you are saying that people with anxiety are weak. He could have overcome his anxiety with psychological support and therapy. But most of the culture in sport doesn't want to adknowledge this reality and need for athletes. Only recently do we see people like Simone Biles and other speak up about this. And they were heard because they were the goat. Bojan, not yet beign successfull was just tossed to the side by the clubs he played for.
He could have been an elephant rather than a goat
Being the goat is hard but he could have been a legend
After the Vazquez video. I was thinking of bojan who was called "the next Messi". I saw him play, he really did have that ability to become a world class player and I will always remember that "offside goal against inter".
The Next Messi is a Curse
And it wasn't an offside goal. It was a false foul against Yaya Toure
Next Messi? They both came up together in the La Masia ranks and Bojan was regarded as the more promising talent.
As was Giovanni and Vazquez.
It was actually a hand ball before he scored.
What about “the next Ronaldinho”, Giovanni Dos Santos?
The amount of ridiculously talented players falling from grace in the 2000s is almost tragic.
True and there will probably be more
Yup and there’s only gonna be more in the next decade with 100m+ transfers ruining their careers.
Still not talented enough to be THE MAN at a big club like Barça, Pedro Rodríguez is way more talented than Bojan,Vásquez or even Flop Félix
@@dinisfonseca6305 right now?
or already flopped?
@@user-ml3qj2sz2d Félix flopped hard so yeab
As a Stoke fan, you could just see how good Bojan was and how much of a “step ahead” he was against other players in our squad and in the PL. We shouldn’t have played him in the match where he ruptured his ACL, it was a cup match against a lower tier side where he didn’t need to play. He was incredible for Stoke and he’s still loved here today.
Great video Raymar, excellent content as always
appreciate that my man! yeah it was really sad that he got hurt the way he did when he was starting to get in the best form of his post barca career 😔
Thanks for your input
@@RaymarFootball you must be a typical ronaldo fan why did you write bojan better than messi we didnt see bojan scoring a goal like what messi scored against getafe neither did we saw 91 goals in a single year why dont you add ronaldo for that eg this player was better than ronaldo why the scale is always messi whether its comparing to other players or ronaldo comparing himself to messi in every interview . Dont be salty be respectful . I don't think bojan will ever be better and then you people talk about mentality that this person has strong mentality messi hasn't
@@mightytitan1719 why we talking about Messi in his prime? Look at the comments, everyone thought Bojan’s stats were Messi 😂 Bojan had a better debut season than anyone ever. Then he couldn’t live up to the hype. That’s all my video is about buddy
@@mightytitan1719 it's not him who are ronaldo fan. It's you who aren't even Messi fans, but worshipper
All of what you mention is happen 5 years after what this videos topic talk about
And Ronaldo surely have no business here. He didn't even play at barca!
This stories are always sad, but they always remind me of the greatness of CR7 and Messi, this 2 have played as the GOATS for almost 2 decades.
they are the best to play this game in my opinion, with respect to the older generation of course
@@RaymarFootball your opinion is a sign of no respect!
@@lekkerkoffie8605 what do you mean bro? It’s just my opinion, and if you think that the older generation was the greatest, doesn’t that mean no respect towards Messi/CR7 for all their records and achievements?
@@RaymarFootball 🤣 I was just kidding. People think they have to add 'with all due respect' behind all their opinions nowadays and I think that is weird. As if it would be disrespect without that... People seem to be so scared to be distrusted regarding their 'respect'. 🤣 I don't respect that kind of fear. It's weak and silly.
@@lekkerkoffie8605 ahh haha I see man, yeah you kind of right 😂
Anxiety is no joke, I feel for the guy, many people think it’s easy to get over but it ain’t, it’s a long journey but with the right support you can get through it, if you suffer from anxiety or any mental illness, please get help
Even people who are very social and confident can experience flashes of panic and anxiety. Can happen to anyone and isn’t fun
I ve been fighting anxiety for 16 years now. My life could have been different without it. But I can't change that. It's part of me.
@@Liam-jy7yi have u got any other tips?
Ye "anxiety" is no joke. I totally agree. Its DELUSION. Like flath earth,like evolution theory and such. Theres no such thing like "anxiety". There are ONLY 2 forces in this universe. Divine Lord's force and corrupted evil Satan's force. Depression IS SPIRITUAL DISEASE. Not mental. It starts with spirit then it spreads all over your body. Any mental illness = problems with demons. Ofc official Mickey Mouse science and medicine wont aprrove it because some people can lose their lives(not only jobs)
@@quitanero bullshit. You can change it
Just cement that Messi's mental strength is no joke..not everyone can deal with that huge pressure and had to deal the pressure of a nation in Argentina ( a football-obsess nation) as well as be the next Maradona,one of their greatest since early teen..
Messi went on from being compared to Maradona to create his own legacy and becoming the S.I. unit of best in football.
Nah I don't think he has that strong mental health he literally faked his national retirement in 2016 just to silence Argentine fans that wanted him to go because he couldn't win them a trophy for national team like maradona did

As a Catalan guy born and raised in Barcelona, I remember in season 2009/10 Thierry Henry hugging Bojan after Bojan scoring a goal, and the match's narrator speaking / saying "abraçada de germà gran a germà petit", which means "older brother hugging younger brother" . Your videos are so good to see Raymar, are very entertaining, keep it up with your labour
Henry 🤝 Bojan
It’s a shame he never could break into the starting lineup because Barcas offense was too full of legends!
I have watched many videos on bojan's downfall but this video did take a different approach by talking about mental health issues of footballers and the hype around young talents calling them new Messi, Ronaldo etc. Great video raymar Keep it up 👍❤️
Appreciate that! Yup, like Bojan mentions at the end, it’s toxic and scummy to expose youngsters to insults and toxic fans/media. Comparisons dont help, let them be their own player!
I am glad he won trophies at least ..he was part of arguably the best squad of all time 2008/09..winning over 10 trophies before 21 is an achievement of its own
More club trophies than Ronaldo Nazario xD
@@daarom3472 Bojan clear
Yeah.
@@ole1154 Absolutely.
He was carried
That quote in the end sent shivers down my spine. Spoken like a true hero
yup! perfect way to describe that, at the end of the day, your happiness is more important than the expectations of others!
Imagine if Victor Vasquez and Bojan reached their full potential. The trio of Messi, Victor and Bojan would be god tier
it would have been 😔
@@RaymarFootball na man he f up
Yep
@@RaymarFootball cristian ceballos?
I'm a Barca fan and I remember how good he was, hope he stays happy and strong 💙❤️
seems like he is 🙏
Good for him. Do what makes you happy. Life's too short to try and meet everyone's expectations of you.
yup! that’s a perfect way to put it
So true. Apart from that, he‘s become a wealthy man nonetheless.
I'm from the town where Bojan started to play football at, and I remember really liking him on my youth. Such a shame that pressure got to him, but he decided to move out of the spotlight and I respect him for that
Yup, at least he was happy. Just wondering, what was the sentiment in your town towards him in 2008 for not joining spain?
@@RaymarFootball I was quite young at that moment, so I don't remember much, but iirc from what I was told, a lot of people supported Bojan taking a break. I believe that feeling of "This is our player we are talking about" helped people defend him a little bit more. Bare in mind that the town he started playing football at was not the same town he was born in, so not everybody knew him. The ones that talked about Bojan the most where the members of our football club and some of his friends, all on his behalf
thanks for your video, I remember bojan and as a person who have PTSD and Depression, I can feel him. I always wonder what happened to him, gladly he has an amazing life in Japan now.
Ah yes, I was a kid when bojan was killing it and named the next best. I've always liked hes playing style.
he did have some insane potential looking back at it, playstyle was very maradonna/messi-esque too
Imagine if bojan and victor Vazquez reached their full potential, that 2009-2011 barcelona squads would've been an unstoppable force
very scary“what if” to think about tbh
it was already unstoppable without them
Mourinho stopped them big time in 2010...
@@nivajaranjit4322 lol I guess. 2 CL in 3 season is still very good and I think 2 trebles as well?
@@PoorStretch I think they will be like madrid who done 4 season consequently, but this team will not just won ucl. They will won quadruple 4 season straight
Bojan chose his mental health 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 great decision nothing is more important than own's mental health ❤️
It is comparatively easy to compare any wonder boy at late teens to Messi and Ronaldo but the consistency those two has is totally unheard of.
Talent, will, mentors, dedication and accolades are always sought out but everybody always undermine the importance of mental health.
Wow! Crazy story! Anxiety can literally ruin anyone’s career. Hope he’s better now🙏🏻
In many ways overcoming mental issues and learning to enjoy football and life after crumbling after pressure so hard is more admirable to me than breaking all the records and winning all the titles, Bojan became a great in his own way. Many forgot about him, and he stopped breaking records, but is that really so important?
Fantastic video once again
I’m surprised he still had his love for football after going through what he did as a teenager tbh
Messi was called the next Maradona
He didn’t fail that expectation
He surpassed it.

Damn Bojan seems like a good guy. Sad he couldnt make it big with all his talent, but it almost seems like how it turned out actually suited him best!
yup! his interview at the end says it all
Great video brother, I'll never forget about Bojan. Everyone seems to but it's unfortunate his long history with battling through injuries
Yes quite an unfortunate story 😔 glad you enjoyed my man!
I suffered this type of anxiety entering highschool. I was suppose to be the savior to our school finally being a finals winning team. I missed my first shot my freshman year, kicking it on the 6 yard box straight to the keeper. When I turned around and saw my entire team including the coach yelling their heads off, the goal seemed to shrink from that moment onward. Being the most talented player on the team and never being able to score was a curse, without my coach talking to me, only benching me messed with my head all 4 years. I ended up deciding to stop beating defenders 1v1 and became a pinpoint passer. Throughout my 20s and became a 4 peat winning coach, focusing on the mental strength of my comp teams, teaching kids what was never told to me. Anxiety is no joke.
Very relatable man! There’s times when you feel like something is your fault or you should have done better. Happens to all of us for many different things in life. Good on you for changing your mindset and not stopping 💪
Please do Gio Dos Santos next! I remember him being considered the next Ronaldinho while at Barca.
he’s on the list for sure ✍️
His a hippo
Yes. Feeling sad for him. He was so talented. But when you have xavi. Iniesta. Fabregas. Sergio B. No chance for others.
@@hassamali8887 please don't forget David Villa, Pedro, Raphina, Thiago Alcantara, Sergi Roberto, Belaufeau, Montoya, etc,
@@hernanbojacav.8396 villa was always in starting xi
I can’t even imagine 2 Messi’s on the same field. Messi and Bojan would probably just run through defenders like nothing. Wow.
Great video! As someone who both loves football and is studying to become a psychologist it's a breath of fresh air to hear someone acknowledge the extreme pressure some of these wonderkids face and how it can affect their wellbeing
Messi stepped up even with a growth hormone disorder and being a major introvert I ain't bashing on Bojan but I feel like Messi wanted it WAY WAY more than Bojan wanted it but great video man
At first i taught you were one of those who would just read from wikipedia and post common images and footages. But you actually provide valuable and entertaining material. Keep it up👍!
appreciate that my man! I try to give it my own spice haha
Messi handled all those pressure and still humble, that's why he's the best.
Great video as always, also love the approach you took and taking mental health into account. Young footballers nowadays have a mighty task in staying consistent and not getting slammed by the pressure of being the next big thing (social media also having a huge part in this). Many cases come to mind in the last decade or so.
Just one quick note, Gérard, Thiago Motta and Edmilson were all played at central midfield, and not as forwards.
The usual front three when Messi debuted consisted of Dinho at Lw, Ludovic Giuly as Rw and Eto'o at St with only an aging but very much still relevant Henrik Larsson and a really underrated forward in Maxi López.
Going back to the topic of failed wonderkids I'd love seeing you tackle on Hachim Mastour's failed career. I still remember way back when watching so many compilations of his insane skills whilst playing for AC Milan's youth team, the guy was absolute fire
Yup, I think more clubs should really focus on preparing kids to deal with it or adding mental/psychological training and therapy into their routine. Media and fans can be very toxic.
Also, thanks for that 😂 Just wanted to mainly point out that Maxi Lopez and Henrik we’re “easier” to start over, compared to Eto’o, Henry, Zlatan, and Villa.
Will definitely add him to the list brother ✍️
So many people have been deemed the “successor of Messi” to the point where if there ever is one he might be the best player like …ever
like Bojan said at the end, it’s very toxic for their mentality, especially for younger players who get burdened with pressure
@@RaymarFootball Messi had the pressure of being the next maradona though.
@@goessytm and that’s why messi one of the greatest’s of all time. Let his feet do the talking pressure meant 0 too him.
I saw him score a goal in person at the Camp, he really was a great talent. Happy for him that he chose health and happiness over fame!
I really really thought this guy was gonna be the next best thing alongside Messi. He was on fire everytime he was sub in. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
He was definitely a super sub! a shame the lineup was too stacked for him to he a starter
I ruptured my ligament too. I lost my agility, pace and tbh, this is the worst injury. I love football a lot and how i wish I didn’t go to play that day
I’m sorry to hear brother. How’s rehab? Hope you can still do basic movements to stay fit. A friend of mine who loved basketball had the same problem and he can never really play it again 😔
this is nice how you focused on mental health instead of just talking about stats and how he failed
Great video ! Bojan is one of my favorites of all time. You are spot on. That wonderkid could really play. Amazing talent. However there is more to the story I think with Bojan and his falling out with Pep Guardiola from Barcelona B request. Also there was a great quote from Mourinho said Bojan is "a Dangerous Player" who "Nearly Killed Me." Frank Rijkaard gave the boy the opportunity he needed and he shined.
Great video! Mental health is real and sad to he had to go through that. What a talent. Imagine if he had a killer instinct? Glad that he has found some form of peace.
He made the best decision in his life 🔥
No one is or was meant to be more than Messi in his era. Messi is the best.
cap
@@brother_man hater
Sometimes you just love football without all the excess bagage that tend to come with it.
Bojan didn't play for money & fame, he just loved the game!
All that other stuff was just a drag, unnecessary pressure.
Great video. Remember buying him in older FMs. This is the exact reason why Messi and Ronaldo are the best ever to do it. Skill wise there may be someone whos close..whos able to do things they did, but the time we live in is different. These two were goats for 2 decades.. all while social media and internet being a thing since their teens years. The pressure.. that the fans and fanatics create.. the balls on them to even play for their country or take crucial penalty/free kick is insane.. if I miss a penalty, no ones gonna know shit and will forget it.. if they miss, internet will blow up and hateful comments emerge.. thats the kind of pressure no one before them had to face and being able to comcentrate and filter it out all while no impact on your game is superb. Just look at Ronaldos son.. hes got a gan base as akid and fans watching matches/trainings in hope tomeet his dad and already pressing him to be the next one. I cant even imagine what its like.. I mean.. I get mad just from the rlessure my work creates.. with handful of people watching me 😀 they are indeed built differently.
Recently started watching your channel. Videos are very well put together! Nice work :)
appreciate that my man!
Thank you and Bojan for putting mental health awareness into the spotlight. We need to take care of ourselves. We're not unbreakable.
Thanks much for this video.
Bojan was a special player. Sometimes life has something else planned. Of course Bojan had other plans too. Not to mention the mental strength it takes to be a top football player.
yup, takes a lot to handle all that criticism and hate from media and fans, especially as a young kid
As a person with Generalized anxiety disorder I can completely understand his decision for not participating in 2008 euro. Severe anxiety or panic attacks can cause high bp like 180/120, a heart rate of in excess of 200 combined with shortness of breath, dizziness etc. So it is impossible to play with that at the highest level. I feel sad for him, some people despite being talented are just unlucky.
Another great video Raymar ,thank you!
appreciate that! means a lot 🙏
Great video as usual. Thanks!
appreciate that my man 🙏
That bloodline sure is crazy , introverted geniuses 💀
The career of a young, talented soccer player is really hard and most of the players who are minors can't handle the spotlight because so called "toxic soccer fans" keep dragging them down by their immature comments. Yes, being a a famous soccer player means you have to be extremely strong mentally but if you can't handle the stress , the mean comments, the spotlight then it has nothing to do with "giving up" or "being weak". It means you have to choose what is the best for you, for your mental state. And Bojan did the right thing. I am glad he has a happy life now and he still plays soccer despite everything what happens in the past. He didn't give up. He just chose to be happy.
This video is so good. I like you are focusing on the La Masia Barca I really wanted you to make atleast one video on this topic. Btw I have been watching you from your 1998 conspiracy video i am true og and i really admire you and your voice and the effort you put into these videos. Amazing vid keep up the good work❤️❤️
Thank you brother! Definitely will, but not right away since I’ve been focusing on the topic too much lately
Great vid 👏🏾👏🏾
thank you brother 👊
it's not about how bad your anxiety is it's how well you deal with it. Many players feel immense anxiety due to the position they are in but still overcome their hardships inside the pitch and off the pitch. He worked hard as hell to make it to the position that he is in he should not let anxiety hold him back. It's nice to see that he's happier now though.
Its really nice that he plays together with Iniesta in Japan now. Not only is Andres a fellow countryman and former team member of Bojan but also one of the big guys Bojan surely thought he failed back then as kid. Now they enjoy the game they love together as made men. And btw, having also Lukas Podolski in the team must be great fun ;)
Podolski play in 🇵🇱

this just makes me respect messi even more because you can tell he was very similar to bojan in the way that he doesn't like the spotlight or all the publicity and is an introvert that would much father keep to himself unlike ronaldo who loves the attention and spotlight

Another video of Raymar that telling the pre phase story of another player who had better records than Messi. Just like VV. But the thing is none couldn't be on the same level as Messi in football history. That's called the ultimate potential unlocking of a player.
Taking this video as reference, there every single kid (who has become football star later) in this world had better physicality than kid Messi as he had hormone deficiency. But none couldn't be him even being so normal.
hard to deny Bojan’s first two seasons were much better than Messi’s though, but Messi went another levels after that while the many fell off. Promise next vid won’t be about Barca 🙏 haha
@@RaymarFootball Not really, he was mostly a bench player; Messi was an starter already in his first season. Despite him having amazing stats, he could never be a starter for Barca
