With all this experience like trainer, 'Felipao' was one of the main actors behind the signing of Vitor Roque by the FC Barcelona, so much of public way like private.

The míster Brazilian stood out that the already Barcelona forward "is a different player. It is 18 years old but by his physical structure, technical and mental seems that had 22 or 23. It is a very difficult forward to mark for the defences: it protects well the balloon, is fast and goes out out of the area to associate . Over time it will go adding things to his repertoire because it is young", admitted Scolari, one of the 'sources' main to which attended Deco like sportive director of the Barça to try reduce the margin of error with the bet that after all represents fichar to a so young player by 60 million euros.

The Barça took advantage of the experience of Deco in Brazil

Like this it has revealed it 'Sportive World' this Friday, signalling that the culés also wished like knowing how is the Brazilian to level of personality and of character, as well as know which is his familiar surroundings. So Deco gathered with several personalities of the Brazilian football to know to the detail how is the forward because when knowing that they already had worked with him, and in addition to Scolari the Barcelona director also supported in the exmadridista Wanderley Luxembourg and in Claudio Branco, another name with a lot of weight in Brazil.

Luxembourg was the one who did to debut in the elite to Vitor Roque with only 16 years and 7 months, in a party against Botafogo that finish 0-0 in 2021. The mediático technical substituted it in that party and commanded him some days to his house so that it isolated of the pressure, saying him that did not go back until the following week. "Had to remove him this day because it was tired, did not hold more. It is normal, had the emotion to debut, even fear, but attained to do several played of merit", remembered some months afterwards on the première of Roque.

Finally the third report for the Barça arrived of the exdelantero of Branco, coordinator of the Brazilian inferior selections and all an idol of his country after being champion of the world in 1994 with the 'canarinha'. Branco knew him well because Vitor Roque had been part of the distinct juvenile selections of Brazil, by what Deco did not doubt in trying take advantage of his criterion.
