20-year-old Brazilian striker Vitor Roque failed to establish himself at Barça in the 2023/2024 season. The pressure was high, he thought he could handle it, but his performances proved otherwise. The only point in his favor is that he only started 2 short matches, and he still scored 2 goals. But he came on 14 times, without making his mark on the matches. Vitor Roque was finally loaned to Real Betis , where he scored 7 goals in 33 games played: a record still considered too low .
Since then, El Tigrinho, as he is nicknamed in Brazil, has been playing for Palmeiras . The current sporting director of the Blaugranas, Deco , sent a message to the Brazilian striker, showing some regret over the handling of the Roque case. "I feel very sad. I still think that when Vitor arrived in January, it didn't help him. He started well, he scored a goal, but it was difficult to assimilate the pressure that exists at Barcelona . If he had arrived this season, maybe he would have done better, with new fitness coaches, maybe I would have had more luck. Now he has to regain confidence at Palmeiras ," said the former Chelsea and Barça great in an interview with Mundo Deportivo .
