Barcelona will exercise caution with new arrival, don’t want player to experience pressure

While Barcelona have had their fair share of troubles both in possession and out of possession, their third-place position in La Liga is largely the consequence of inadequate efficiency in the final third.

Having the most big chances missed in Europe testifies to the lack of clinical finishing up front, and it is due to these concerns that Vitor Roque’s arrival produces such optimism.

The Brazilian prodigy recently landed in Barcelona and will make his debut against Las Palmas after the Christmas break.

Recognized for a spectacular eye for goal and talent that belies his years, the expectations are higher than ever on Roque’s shoulders, especially considering the team is craving a reliable goalscorer.

But despite such limitless potential, it is worth noting that Roque is still a teenager who will be leapfrogging into European football for the very first time.

Barcelona will aid Roque in his adaptation process

Indeed, MARCA have come out to report that Barça has been trying in recent days to ease the pressure on him.

While it is true that the Catalans accelerated his arrival in light of their problems upfront, managers, executives, and technicians advise the Brazilian to adjust as he is still young and needs to let go of some of the burdens.

The club wants his adaptation to be seamless because they understand the complications of acclimating to a new country, to another dressing room, and to a competition that is exceedingly different from the Brazilian one.

Barça values his maturity at such a tender age, but they do not require an immediate impact from him, nor do they demand that he take on the pressure of leading the misfiring front line at once.
