Barcelona's new signing, Roony Bardghji, is waiting to make his La Liga debut for the Catalan giants. 

The Swedish winger has finally been registered with Barcelona and will be hoping to play in the match against Valencia on September 14. 

Bardghji opened up on his move to Barcelona and revealed the connections he has already made with his new team. 

What did Bardghji say about his Barcelona connections?

The teenage attacker spoke to the Swedish media during the international break, and he revealed what life has been like with Barcelona. 

Bardghji spoke on Hansi Flick's impact, and he said, "I won’t go into details, but he’s a great coach and a fantastic person. He knows how to talk to his players. We’ve had a lot of interesting conversations, so I feel good."

The 19-year-old was also asked about what his hopes are for his first season, and he said his goal was to "get a lot of playing time."

"It’s a long season with a lot of matches in a lot of tournaments, so I’m sure I’ll get a lot of playing time. So it’s just a matter of showing up and, of course, being patient at the beginning.

"Not everyone who’s playing now were playing right away; it takes a bit of time. But then I’ll get into the game and show what I can do."

When asked about the Barcelona team, he said, "It’s a fantastic group. It’s like a family, something I haven’t felt before at other teams.

On fellow new arrival, Marcus Rashford, Bardghji said, "At first, there was a lot of interaction with Rashford because we were new. I’d played against him before, and we lived in the same hotel. 

“We lived next door to each other in the hotel, so it was natural for us to get close. He’s nice. Very calm and relaxed. He doesn’t talk much."
