How new Barcelona signing has ‘surprised' the club's coaching staff
New Barcelona signing Roony Bardghji has left the club's coaching staff pleasantly surprised in pre-season training to date. That's according to , who have on Saturday provided an insight into the situation. Youngster Bardghji of course completed his long-awaited move to Catalunya's capital earlier this month. Ahead of the expiration of his prior Copenhagen terms later this year, Deco and co. agreed to fork over a minimal fee to land the highly-regarded winger. Bardghji, in turn, has since gone on to link up with Barcelona's star-studded squad in preparations for the new season at The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The 19-year-old was also afforded a call-up for the club's pre-season tour of Asia, ahead of a potential debut appearance against Vissel Kobe on Sunday. And as alluded to above, Bardghji, along the way, has made a thoroughly positive first impression. As per a report from Sport: 'Club sources say his ability to think and act quickly has been one of the surprises of the first training sessions: 'There's still a long way to go and time will tell if it's a success, but for now he's been surprising. The training sessions aren't particularly complex, but it's pleasing because he thinks and acts quickly and that's something unusual for newcomers,' the club says.' Conor Laird – GSFN
