Pinto-Bojan, fifteen years separate them

Pinto, who will hold in Cup, is the oldest of the template and celebrated his birthday yesterday

Among Bojan and Pinto is a world. Both play in the area but with opposing goals. One goal is to prevent attacks and other weaknesses of the doormen. One taste of elite football in winter and the other did not have the majority. After all, when Pinto was 15, not yet stepped Bojan world. So it is not uncommon among the "grandfather" and the youngest of the Barça squad differences abound.

Both, however, also have things in common: for example the esteem of his colleagues, who know well the human qualities of two regular players of the bank, but with a big commitment. Yesterday we noted the affection of other colleagues with the goal, serving 35 years and was congratulated by the entire workforce. The player has gone through tough times after being sanctioned by UEFA for incidents two games against Copenhagen. The international organization understands that the goal imitated the whistle of the referee to confuse the striker Cesar Santin, which stopped play after the referee had pointed out the game. The situation worsened after the sentences of the Danish team coach Stale Solbakken, who urged FIFA to punish the goal in four games and referred to him as "bad apple." Uncomfortable with the situation, Guardiola took advantage of the end of the meeting to remonstrate with the technician statements. 

The other veterans

Pinto is the oldest player to a team that combines experience and youth. Other players with experience in the workforce are Puyol (32), Abidal (31) and Xavi (30) and Keita (30). At the other 'end' is Bojan, who leads the younger breed of staff, although it takes a few seasons and the first team. Busquets (22), limbo (22), Pedro (23) and Messi (23) are next to Linyola the youngest in the group without Thiago, even with information about the subsidiary. Linyola the case is extraordinary because he was the youngest in a touchdown in a Barca shirt, surpassing the previous record of Messi. The youth, however, has maintained an irregular path full of contrasts. Its impact on the first team with Rijkaard in the bank has continued to Guardiola. Only at the end of last academic year the player was a fixture in the side, showing a spectacular level and remain critical to achieving their goals in the title. This season, despite having many minutes, the Linyola has not shown the level which is presupposed and is very jinxed with the goal.
