Barca have hit the headlines recently due to their dire away form this season, which has seen them win just three of their nine competitive matches on their travels.

However, as 17-year-old Bojan is quick to point out, Barca are still in fine fettle both domestically and in Europe thanks to an enviable home record of eight wins from eight.

"I would not talk of crisis because we are first in our Champions League group, in the league we are very few points from first place and at home we are showing that we are unstoppable," said Bojan, who does admit that their away performances need to be looked at, though.

"There are small details which we need to find solutions to because we cannot lose so many points away from home, but we have plenty of time to improve," he added.

Coach Rijkaard - a target for the vacant Socceroos' coaching job - has also come in for criticism this season, even though his side are currently third in La Liga, just four points behind arch rivals Real Madrid after 12 rounds of action.

There has even been media speculation in Spain that Rijkaard has until Christmas to improve things or risk being sacked, with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho being tipped as a possible replacement for the Dutchman.

Bojan does not believe there is any substance in those reports though, and he believes Rijkaard will be at the club for a long time to come yet.

"It cannot be true when they say that he could be fired because he has done a lot for Barca," the Spain Under-21 international said in Marca.

"He has been a coach who has brought the dreams back to this club. As well as that, it cannot be said that we are going through a bad patch because the team is well. I think that Rijkaard is going to continue at Barca for many years."
