After this morning's training session, Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola commented to journalists on the first training of new Barcelona player Zlatan Ibrahimovic:

"It's a very good signal for his integration in the squad that he has started to run. I didn't ask him anything special.

We hope he'll be able to take part in all the exercises shortly. It's not only about him getting to know us but also about us getting to know him, what he likes, how he likes to receive a ball, when he wants to go deep. From what we've seen so far, it's a very relaxed guy and he's adapting well to the group.

I think he'll be working with the group soon. But nothing changes. Like we had planned, he'll probably make his debut at the Gamper Trophy. It sure is totally excluded that he will take part in a friendly game during this tour in the United States."
