The Brazilian is apparently brokenhearted
The title defence has turned into shambles, and the season will end without a single trophy for Barcelona. While some prolific youngsters like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi were promoted to the starting XI, no one can understand what happened with Vitor Roque.
The Brazilian striker was a serious gamble for Barcelona, ​as ​he was paid €30m to Atletico Paranense.
🚨🚨🌕| BREAKING: Vitor Roque is very HURT. He doesn't understand why Barça signed him early.

Those close to Roque say that Xavi NEVER speaks to him & that all communication is CUT OFF. The player is very sad. @RogerTorello pic.twitter.com/qG5aUcWhW5
He arrived in January and despite having reached his full physical level in the meantime - he arrived injured and out of shape due to a long break - Xavi almost didn't use the 19-year-old striker.
He has made only 13 games, clocking just 310 minutes for the entire season so far. Roque scored two goals and started just two games. He did not appear in the Champions League or El Clasico, as Xavi relied on others. And that apparently hurt the Brazilian and offended him.
El Mundo Deportivo reveals that Roque is very upset because he is not involved in team duties, and there is even a rumor that he has absolutely no contact with Xavi, that they don't talk at all, nor does he include him in his plans. During the defeat to Girona, TV cameras even caught the Brazilian crying on the bench!?
On the other hand, people from Xavi's staff claim that the stories coming from Roque's entourage about the lack of communication and isolation are simply not true. They even regularly present him with video analysis and talk to him to let him know what Xavi is asking him to improve in training.
