New Ajax signing Bojan Krkic has come and said that his time in Italy was positive experience for him.
The 22 year old striker spent two years in Italy playing for Roma and AC Milan, though recently stated it was a poor decision to play in Serie A.
“I have not spoken with either [Barcelona director of football Andoni] Zubizarreta nor with Tito [Vilanova, Barcelona coach] and with them there was no problem,” Bojan told Cadena COPE’s Partido de las 12.
“I am proud of what I have achieved in my career, I am 22 years old and I still have plenty of time to improve.
“Italy was a positive experience, although the football is very different and adapting wasn’t easy, but Ajax is a club that has always attracted me and I can identify with the mentality and football philosophy.
“Messi? I believe that his presence held me back a lot. When you have the world’s best player in the team, you have to adapt to play in another position.
Bojan scored ten goals in his two years in Serie A with the Giallorossi and the Diavolo.
