Image via WikipediaValencia striker Fernando Morientes has been left perplexed after Bojan Krkic decided not play for Spain at Euro 2008.
The Barcelona forward has represented Spain at Under-17 level and he was supposed to be a part of the senior squad for this summer’s Euro 2008 tournament.
However, he kindly declined the offer and instead has preffered to put his feet up for the summer. His decision has left everyone perplexed, including Morientes, who cannot understand the player’s bizarre u-turn.
“I really don’t understand why he would do that,” Morientes told Marca.
“It seems very strange to me that a player would turn down the chance to play at the European Championships.
“It’s hard to understand because normally a 17-year-old would jump at that sort of chance because it’s not often that someone his age gets called up to the senior squad for a major tournament.
“Who knows what’s happened, it could have been the club’s decision or his fathers or maybe even he is just anxious.”
Morientes also spoke ahead of this week’s clash with Atletico. The two sides meet at the Mestalla on Sunday evening.
“Everyone is aware about the bad season that we have had but now we just have to put it behind us and try and get the right result on the weekend.
“I still have one year left on my contract and I hope I can remain here even longer.”
Morientes will be hoping his side finish the season on a high against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, following a less than perfect run this term, for much of which he was injured.

This is a bit like David bentley. He pulled out the U21 sides in a similar fashion. They are such a disgrace to their country
