According to Jordi Cardero, Brazilian youngster Vitor Roque is facing challenges adapting to the intense pace of training sessions at Barcelona.
In his first training session, Roque reportedly struggled to keep up with the speed of the ball during a rondo exercise, failing to escape the circle.
This week, he was not included in the same group as first-team players such as Ansu Fati, Balde, and Iñigo Martínez, suggesting that the coaching staff may be easing him into the team's rigorous training regimen.
Roque's difficulties in adjusting to the pace of training may come as a surprise, given his impressive performances for Athletico Paranaense in Brazil.
However, the 18-year-old's struggles highlight the significant step up in intensity and competition at one of Europe's top clubs.
As Roque continues to work on his adaptation, fans will be watching closely to see how he develops and whether he can make a meaningful contribution to the team.
