Barcelona coach comments on player loan

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick commented on the loan of striker Vitor Roque, which was made official this Monday (26): “We can’t say we’re not counting on him. That would be false. It’s a strange situation. He came at a time when it wasn’t easy. It’s a good option (loan), as he’ll be able to play. I’ve seen good things in him, he’s a good person. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope he works out well at Real Betis.”said the coach at a press conference.

Even though they are going through an economic crisis, Barcelona's board of directors guaranteed that the player's loan to Real Betis was not motivated by financial issues, much less by the coaching staff's lack of interest in the athlete, and guaranteed that they want to count on the striker in the future; therefore, the sale did not take place.

Vitor Roque will play for Real Betis for a year, after an unsatisfactory season at Barcelona, ​​where he played 14 games and scored 2 goals. He played for Barcelona against the United States in pre-season.
