Hupu September 4th, the Swedish player who joined Barcelona from Copenhagen this summer for more than 2 million euros was interviewed by Swedish media Expressen during the training camp with the Swedish U21 national team at Hamstad, and made it clear that he would never consider playing football at Barcelona Athletics.

Regarding whether it is possible to go to Barcelona B team

"If I were just to play for the youth team, I would not sign at all. I have played more than 100 games in the first team, and I would never accept going to the B team. This is completely fabricated, not true."

The primary goal has always been the first team

Valdegi admitted that he did not read media reports. He was very clear about his position when signing:

"From the first day, the club and I both knew that the plan was to enter the first team. What the outside world said was not true and had no impact on me."

Attitude to the unregistered issue

He kept calm because he knew that Barcelona had encountered similar problems in the past few years:

"Many people know... I don't know if this can be considered a problem, but Barcelona has had difficulties in registering players for many years. This did not happen this year, and it also happened before Many times, it was a difficult situation for the club. "

Confidence in the future

Valdegi expressed his confidence in completing the registration before the match against Valencia on September 14:

"Yes, it's almost done. I think everything will be ready by then."

Life and adaptation

Talking about life in Barcelona, ​​he is in sharp contrast with his experience in Copenhagen:

"Everything is great. I enjoyed it very much. The city is beautiful and the club is great. Everything is different and it is difficult to compare because the difference is too big."

The atmosphere of the locker room

He particularly emphasized the enthusiastic acceptance of his teammates:

"It's like a big family. I have never felt this way with the team I played for before. Many people grew up in youth training together, without a fixed small group, and everyone is together."
