Having already arrived in Spain, Vitor Roque will join FC Barcelona and report to Xavi Hernandez this Friday on 29th December. At this time, Roque will also meet his new teammates, as the players will be returning for club duties after their Christmas holidays.

Keeping in view the striker’s youth and the huge socio-cultural change that he will be experiencing after his move from Brazil to Spain, the club is paying special attention to ensure that Roque can feel at home in Barcelona from the very first days.

The player will be staying at the Princesa Sofia Hotel until he finds a new house for himself, and Barcelona officials will accompany him to help him get accustomed to the club’s daily routine.

Furthermore, as SPORT reports, Roque will also be adequately protected in the locker room, as two veterans will be his neighbors. To his right will be his only compatriot in the Barcelona squad, Raphinha, and to his left will be Robert Lewandowski, one of the most senior players and leaders at Barcelona.

Having Raphinha by his side will definitely be a big support for Roque, as there is no one better than the Brazilian winger to guide the youngster on how to adapt to Europe and Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski’s presence on his other side will help Roque grow from a professional point of view, as he can learn a lot from a player who has been one of the best strikers in Europe for almost a decade now.

Accompanied by these two mentors, Roque’s challenge of adapting and assimilating into the new country and club will become significantly easier.

Thus, Barcelona is doing everything to ensure their new arrival does not gets overwhelmed at one of the biggest clubs in the world, and now it depends on the player himself to ensure he keeps a good head and gives his all for the club.
