Vitor Roque smiles and thrashes while waiting for his landing in Barcelona, that everything indicates that it will have to be in January. ‘Tigrinho’ scored his first goal as a culé in Ath’s victory. Paranaense over Bahia (2-0) corresponding to the 15th day of the Brasileirao.
It was somewhat very special, with which he celebrates his contractual relationship with Barça, and which certifies his spectacular moment of form. “I am very happy for this new goal”recognized the future ‘9’ blaugrana.
“What I am doing is concentrating as much as possible on Ath. Paranaense, which is where I am playing at the moment, we have achieved a victory that will give us peace of mind after the elimination in the Copa do Brasil”added ‘Tigrinho’.
With this new target, he closes the gap in the Brasileirao’s scorer table, which leads Tiquinho Soares (Botafogo) with 10 goals and now Victor Roque He already has 8, in the 14 league games he has played, in which he has also given two assists.
His records do not stop improving. They are extraordinary for a forward of only 18 years. Since he started the 2023 season in South America in January, he has already scored 22 goals (16 with ‘Furacao’ and 6 in the South American U-20 with Brazil) plus 6 assists.
scare and great goal
Vitor Roque made a great game again. It’s released. And that the match began with a huge scare due to a criminal entry by Kanú, which left the heels marked on the twins of his left leg. He was due to be sent off with a direct red card, but worst of all, the center-back was not even booked with a yellow card.
‘Tigrinho’ knew how to overcome the situation. He didn’t lose his head. He completely focused on the game and had a five-star first half. His goal, which opened the scoring, came in the 26th minute, when the right-back Khellven sent him a sugary cross inside the small area. Vitor Roque showed that positioning is one of his most sought-after qualities, and he finished first, without letting the ball bounce, with his left foot.
‘Furacao’ scored 2-0, with which he sentenced the match, with a header from midfielder Erick, (min. 35) in an action in which Vitor Roque knew how to drag the macaje of the central couple.
The future ‘9’ of Barça was one step away from scoring his second goal with a right hand from outside the area (min. 37) saved by goalkeeper Marcos Felipe.
The team leads Wesley Carvalho He knew how to perfectly manage the advantage throughout the second half against a sit-down Bahia. ‘Tigrinho’ continued to be the offensive stiletto for ‘Furacao’ and insistently sought the double. With very good criteria, he was substituted in the 75th minute since, in recent weeks, he has experienced a maelstrom of matches.
In this second half, there was the debut of the ex-Blaugrana Arturo vidal, who has committed to the Curitiba team until the end of this year.
With this victory the Ath. Paranaense rises to eighth position, just two points from the places that give access to the Copa Libertadores. The next commitment of ‘Tigrinho’ is next Sunday, in Rio de Janeiro, when he will play against a Vasco da Gama in relegation positions.
