From the first moment Vitor Roque set foot in Barcelona to finalize his signing for FC Barcelona, the club’s sports management and coach, Xavi Hernández, confirmed on more than one occasion that the plan was for Tigrinho to adapt to Barça without pressure. .
Barça, which at that time was going through serious problems in front of goal, did not want Vitor Roque to be seen as “the solution to all offensive problems”, but rather as an asset to be taken into account. However, a little less than a month after his official arrival, his adaptation to Can Barça has been anything but idyllic.

Vitor Roque does not see his role at Barça clear
The Catalan newspaper El Nacional assures that Vitor Roque is already beginning to feel uncomfortable about his current situation at FC Barcelona. The 18-year-old footballer is not clear about the role he will assume at Barça, since other footballers such as Robert Lewandowski or the youth player Marc Guiu are above him in the usual rotation.
This, in principle, could be explained not only by the obvious hierarchy of the Polish striker, but also by Marc Guiu’s good performance in training, a factor in which Vitor Roque would not be standing out at all due to his lack of adaptation to the style of play.

According to this medium, this situation is beginning to make Vitor Roque impatient and uncomfortable, who thought that he would arrive at Barça seeing many more minutes and that he would get a place in the eleven as soon as he arrived.
However, the competition is passing him by and only he can reverse this situation with hard work and a strong mentality, essential requirements to be a forward for a team of Barça’s stature.
Simply, Vitor Roque’s time has not come and it will be up to him to take advantage of the drastic opportunities that Xavi Hernández is giving him. Will he make it?
