The strange case of Vitor Roque, by Hugo Scoccia

Someone should explain everything that is happening with Vitor Roque. Leaving aside whether or not he is ready to play, it is the coach’s job to decide, the lack of humanity is really worrying. That an 18-year-old kid is put in this situation without him seeking it, shows, once again, that where there are big businesses, there is little empathy.

It is strange that, in a Barça in the midst of a sporting and economic crisis, no one has come forward to give explanations about what is happening: After an investment of stratospheric numbers, the approach is to give it up or sell it after a few weeks of its arrival and without having given it the slightest opportunity, the most logical thing would be for someone to come out and talk and the healthiest thing, in case the explanations hide something darker, it is that someone resigned.

It would be dark if there were secret hidden interests or that the signing was made behind the back of the coaching staff due to the outburst and whim of someone. But since in Can Barça there is not a day in which bad communication practices do not come to light, I highly doubt that anything will be clarified on this matter. While some argue about whether it is a successful signing or not, while blame jumps from one roof to another, the biggest loser beyond the club is the player himself.

Vitor, who could choose from a wide range of big clubs, chose a Barça in decline, opted for his dream and the love for this club. Like an excited child, he arrived in Barcelona with the aim of leaving his mark: in his first game as a substitute, we could see him humming the Barça anthem like just another fan. After his first goal and in front of the television cameras, Vitor made a declaration of love to the team of his life, and like a little boy overcome by emotions, he showed all the culés that he had come to fulfill the dream of his life: succeed at Barça.

But this story seems destined to end in the worst of ways, with a devastated boy and with fans angry at the terrible management of this signing. Without understanding the reason and outraged by this incomprehensible do badly, The culés will ask – precisely – for someone’s head. Who is guilty? Who has benefited from all this? Is it Xavi who has the player crossed for some unknown reason? Since in this club it seems that we cannot get out of one hole without immediately getting into another, I have great doubts that we will ever receive answers to these questions.

Meanwhile, Vitor Roque will be one more of those prodigious children destroyed because of 4 inept people. The problem is that this crusher is starting to be common in Can Barça.
