Vitor Roque UNHAPPY with playing time 👀 His agent claims he could LEAVE Barcelona | ESPN FC

Mario Melchiot, Ale Moreno and Julien Laurens joins Dan Thomas on ESPN FC to react to Vitor Roque's agent releasing a statement about his playing time.

I don’t agree with ESPN on this. Xavi hasn’t dealt with Vitor Roque so well. If you guys are saying he wasn’t impressive the whole Barcelona forward line has been rubbish this season missed the most chances so inefficient except lamine Yamal

[xaviersmall]

Not impressive? The boy nearly scored on his debut, he scored 2 back to back goals then got robbed with a bad red card and hasn't gotten a chance since. Yamal had the exact debut and now gets started every game. Sure you can say Yamal is better but we've barely even seen Roque to prove that. Now they want to loan him and I'm sure that's not what he agreed upon.


This must be a take made to be controversial because almost everyone is on the side of the agent and Roque.

[jahgol]

ESPN got this totally wrong here. They're ignoring Xavi's bias for Catalans and Spaniards.

[bathcat]

It really does feel like Barca signed him because they saw what Madrid did with Vini and Rodrygo without realizing what it is that made them successful

[clauslarsen]

Vitor Roque with 2 goals in 300 minutes has a bad scoring rate they say
But Lamine Yamal with 4 goals in over 2000 minutes is the biggest talent on the planet because he does a lot of pretty spins

[littlebigmarc]

ESPN he gives opportunities to Spanish players only. I don't get why pandits don't see that

[ricardobjj]

I hate that he's not playing. I thought he was gonna be able to bring energy to that team and the games he did play in he did good so I don't see why Xavi isn't giving him more play time

[nanioffical]

It’s simple: Xavi was a great player, but really sucks as a coach we need to understand this, Maradona was also a great player but a bad coach 💀

[Joswag]

I remember when Barca fans clowned us for Arda Guler
Barca handling Roque worse 😂

[nanioffical]

Worst thing could happened to Barça is xavi stay 🤦‍♂️

[dreezy]

I think he should have had more play time, lewandowski not getting any younger.

[decode]

Xavi has given minutes to young Catalan players*, especially those from La Masia.

[tochuk_wu]

The young players Xavi gives minute too are all Spanish there’s a favoritism in Barca towards Spanish players even the ones who aren’t performing well

[ifranmahmud]

Xavi has to play Yamal at right side for lack of options. Dembele left, Raphinha got injured start of the season.
Same case for Cubarsi, Inigo and Araujo got injured before his chance.
Fermin have been playing good football, but whenever De jong gets back from Injury, Fermin gets out of the picture. Even Roberto came before Fermin in some matches.

[bogi]

What was the point in buying him & demanding he come early in January if you weren’t going to play him knowing he would need time to adjust ??? Makes no sense from the beginning. Barcelona only bought him to compete with Madrid buying Endrick. They are wasting money & stunting a young man’s career

[yeasirkhan]

Espn they brought him January at the the middle an benched him. What are you trying to cover up? He deserved more minutes then that. At least more then ferran.

[ViscaBarcelonayProCatalu-iozn]

Xavi will forever be the best midfielder in the world history of football. But not as coach as he was Player, legacy ruin 😢
Roque deserves a chance

[williamcastro]

This ESPN guys I don't understand them. To Joe. You said the agent contradicte himself by mentioning Vini how? Was Vini hitting the sky from the get go when Madrid bought him? NO. Did Madrid give him years before he adapt to Europe playing style? YES. Was Vini cast aside not even spoken to by the couches in Madrid? NO. Is Victor Roque given time to adapt? NO. Was he cast outside not even spoken to? YES. How did the agent contradict himself in his statement?

[ifranmahmud]

His agent speaks because Barca wants Roque to loan out. You guys should know the whole story.

[BESTIEDADEE]

ESPN has been a joke lately running from saying the truth about the nonsense Xavi is doing
