When Vitor Roque joined FC Barcelona at the beginning of January, there were high hopes for him. At that time, Robert Lewandowski was not impressed with his form, and the Spanish media couldn’t wait to see him compete with the Pole. After less than a month, he scored his debut goal in a match against Osasuna (1-0), and a few days later he repeated the success against Deportivo Alaves (3-1). However, he will not remember that match well, because after only 13 minutes he was shown a second yellow card and, consequently, a red card.

Lewandowski’s successor has a big problem. Vitor Roque may leave soon
Since then, not only has he failed to score, but he has only played 100 minutes. His surroundings are clearly not happy with the way the 18-year-old is being introduced to the team. “You have to ask Xavi about it,” the journalists heard when, after one of the last matches, they asked why he was not allowed on the pitch.
The player, who had a different idea of transferring to the capital of Catalonia, is also said to be feeling frustrated. Although the coach announced after his arrival that if he gets into the match rhythm, he will be an important player in the team, it is increasingly difficult to believe his words. Journalist Adrian Sanchez revealed that Roque is starting to have doubts about his future at FC Barcelona. He believes that he will be forced to go on loan in the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian currently has very little chance of replacing Robert Lewandowski, who has recently returned to form. Even though theoretically they are each other’s competition, there is no bad blood between them. – He is a player who created football history. I try to learn as much as possible from him, he is always willing to work. After I finish training, I go with him and try to follow in his footsteps to learn as much as possible, Roque explained.
After 28 rounds of LaLiga, FC Barcelona is third in the table with 61 points. The leader is Real Madrid (72 points), ahead of Girona (63 points). The next match Xavi’s players will play on Sunday, March 17, when they will face Atletico Madrid away in the blockbuster of the 29th round.
