The arrival of Vitor Roque has generated an injection of enthusiasm among Barça fans, who see the young man as a solution to the problems of scoring effectiveness that have accompanied the Barça team in recent months, but the club is clear about the plan ahead. continue with the forward so that his adaptation is fruitful.

Knowing that the culé public opinion usually lacks patience and tends to criticize quickly, at Barça they do not want Vitor Roque to have the pressure of being a mainstay of Xavi's team from the beginning of his Blaugrana period and they believe that he can learn a lot of Robert Lewandowski. The Pole has been one of the best center forwards in the world in recent seasons and Vitor Roque will be able to learn first-hand the tricks and skills of his new teammate to continue evolving his game. The presence of 'Lewy' in the squad will inevitably take pressure off the Brazilian.

At 18 years old, Vitor Roque has become Barça's great hope in their irregular journey this season. The Brazilian striker, who signed his dream Barça contract in July until 2029 plus an optional season for 30 million fixed euros and another amount of 31 million in variables, has only played a handful of minutes in two games and his adaptation is slowly brewing. slow fire. He has played as a '9', as a winger and with Lewandowski.

The former Athletico Paranaense player has played in LaLiga against Las Palmas and against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey. Against the Canaries, he was able to finish his emergence in a big way, but he missed a goal that was practically a given. It was a good point because he had the chance that Lewandowski was denied throughout the game. He will have plenty of time to celebrate more. Of course, it had a talismanic effect on his debut with that victory 'in extremis'. He played 12 minutes.

Without participation in the Copa del Rey

Xavi decided not to give him the start against Barbastro, betting on the team's veterans. He came out in the middle of a nervous Barça and was infected. He will have to wait a little longer to really appreciate what he can give. He had his chance again. He went one-on-one but Arnau, the local goalkeeper, guessed his intentions. The Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia could be his tournament.
