[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Roony Bardghji was left out of Sweden’s squad due to attitude issues. Recently, Sweden head coach Graham Potter announced his World Cup squad, which did not include the 20-year-old Barcelona youngster Roony Bardghji, a move that has sparked controversy in Sweden. Bardghji’s exclusion stems from his inappropriate behaviour after Sweden beat Poland in the play-offs to qualify for the World Cup. Potter did not give him a single minute of playing time in that match. The player was visibly frustrated after the game; while his teammates were celebrating, he sat alone in low spirits almost the entire time, a sight that greatly disappointed both his teammates and the coaching staff. An insider within the Swedish Football Association said: “He sat there looking gloomy the whole time after we qualified for the World Cup. It was very strange behaviour, and it does him no good at all.”
The editor believes that most of his national team teammates feel Bardghji acts as if he is superior despite being only 20 years old, with many criticizing his attitude. The coaching staff decided it was better not to take him to the World Cup, so as not to disrupt team harmony. Bardghji had previously complained inside the national team about his lack of playing time and demanded an explanation.
