Bojan Kordzic, 31, has not been able to come up with a shot since he moved to the J-League last summer. Last night, he finally completed a personal flash in the AFC Champions League, the strongest competition in Asian professional football, and achieved a small personal breakthrough.
Since August last year, Bojan has continued his past slump, with only one starter in the J-League. Even in Asian football, his performance is still lackluster. However, in the AFC Champions League with Chiang Rai United, Bojan finally came off the bench in the second half to complete his first AFC Champions League assist. For him, the goal now is to strive for a starting main position at Kobe Victory Ship, which is a very real problem.
Since leaving Barca in 2011, the rising football star, who was initially labeled Messi's successor, is now worth only a pitiful 700,000 euros. Over the past 11 years, after leaving Barca, Bojan has been seen in the Dutch First Division, Serie A, Premier League and Bundesliga, and then across the ocean to the MLB to pan for gold. Unfortunately, in the past 11 years, he has joined 8 teams, and he has not played anything famous. Today, even in Asian football, he is invisible.
Bojan seems to have become a negative teaching material, and he did not build up enough confidence when he was worth 13 million euros at his peak more than 10 years ago. Bojan has confessed that he himself can't surpass Messi no matter what, but in fact he does overestimate his ability, and without ever suffering a serious injury in his career, he has not even surpassed the general ability of most of his former Barca teammates. In his heyday, Barca did get a lot of light, so much so that he gave the illusion of a potential superstar.
Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and after more than ten years of tempering, Boyang is no longer young and gradually falls into mediocrity. After the aura faded, in fact, in Asian football, he was just a dispensable little person. Kobe Victory Ship bought him just to get cheap, just a bet to get what little surplus value he had left. Bojan only completed an assist against the weak Thai Super League team, and his goal of winning the main position of Kobe is still very far away.
The potential superstar who fought alongside Messi is now really in a state of flux. Bojan is not the most lost former Barça balloon star, but also one of the most regrettable fallen geniuses of La Masia.
