Roony Bardaghji, the 20-year-old Swedish forward, has openly expressed his frustration over limited playing time during his first season at Barcelona. Speaking from Sweden's camp in Valencia while preparing for World Cup qualifiers, he admitted that he feels he deserves more on-field opportunities with the Catalan club.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Bardaghji said, “The truth is that up to this moment I have had little playing time. I have patience, but honestly I think I deserve to play more.” He also made it clear that he respects the coach’s decisions and acknowledges the contributions of his more experienced teammates.
So far this season, Roony has logged 615 minutes across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing four assists. His biggest competition comes from Lamine Yamal, a key player on the right wing and one of the world’s most promising talents, making it tough for Bardaghji to secure consistent minutes.
Experts suggest that Bardaghji's best path to more playing time is to become more versatile and compete for positions beyond the right wing, similar to Raphinha’s adaptation to the left flank. Both the player and coaching staff will need to focus on his development and readiness to seize future chances.
In sum, Bardaghji is eager to fight for a regular spot, and his frankness about his situation has drawn attention from fans and analysts. Supporters should watch his progress closely, as his talent and hard work could yield significant benefits for Barcelona in the near future.
