Bojan admits Stoke is better than Barcelona

He actually prefers playing on a cold, rainy night in Stoke

Ben Kiely

Former Barcelona striker has admitted that he is enjoying life more in Stoke than he did at the Catalan giants.

The 24-year-old moved to the Potters from Barcelona in one of the more surprising transfers of the summer. He has been in decent form under Mark Hughes this season and says he is much preferring playing in England.

I love the passion at Barcelona, I have grown up in a Latin country after all, but I like it better here. In Spain, people do not respect the players, the same as in Italy.

In England it looks like a different world, the people admire the players but also respect them. Here is better, more tranquil.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that you’re now getting first-team football instead of warming the bench at the Nou Camp.
