What's going on with Vitor Roque at Barcelona?
Vitor Roque arrived in Barcelona this January 6 months ahead of when he was originally supposed to. Barcelona are financially troubled but still paid a sizeable fortune for the 19 year old Brazilian striker.
However minutes have been hard to come by. He has played only 276 league minutes and scored twice. His agent this week publicly bashed Xavi for not playing him. So what is really happening here?
Firstly the kid is 19. He's just come to Europe for the first time and that too at a club like Barca. It is okay if he isn't a starter from get go. Just look at Arda Guler at Real Madrid.
However problems exist if things are like the agent has said. Xavi must stay in a good relationship with the player and try to improve him, instead of ostracizing him. There's a really good player for Barca in Roque.
