It took the teenage striker just two seasons in the Brazilian Serie A to showcase his immense potential to the football world.

Vitor Roque: Successor of Lewandowski at Barcelona:

Vitor Roque exhibits great technical, athletic, and tactical skills which makes him a complete attacker. The ability to score goals with ease and having a killing instinct are two exceptional qualities in a striker, and Vitor Roque excels in both areas. He can move creatively and threateningly off the ball. He enjoys using strong, quick space attacks to break through the opposition’s defense and provides constant, positive options throughout the game.
In addition to being a fantastic player in the penalty box, he also has excellent ball striking ability with both feet, which enables him to score from a variety of distances, including mid-and long-range shots. However, he makes a lot more of an impact on the game than simply in the final third.
With his ability to move between lines to help the midfield, force defenders out of position, and inject energy into the action, he boasts strong combination abilities. In addition to his strong effect during the build-up phase, he also has a great deal of influence in the opposing half. His vision and ability to filter precise passes to attackers make him an excellent option for a playmaker and give assist also. Because of his strong physical attributes, he may also serve as the primary point of reference, holding the ball as it is passed to him, shielding it from defenders, and absorbing hits so that he can be a pivot and launch an attack.
Unique and effective striking profile of Vitor Roque:
Vitor Roque possesses robust characteristics that make him the unbalanced profile of the assault, as he moves and acts vertically. He can defeat his guy in confined or open areas because to his outstanding technique and innovative dribbling abilities. The Brazilian is quite explosive in his first steps; he is powerful and aggressive, and he can move in a vertical manner while the ball is at his feet. Because of all these qualities, he can fit into practically any playing style and can change roles to suit the situation. Here Xavi in both seasons played some pragmatic style of football for which Roque type of player is very much needed to the squad.
Even when they do not have the ball, Vitor Roque is a cunning presser who can create scoring opportunities by positioning himself properly during the off-ball phase and knowing when to pressure opponents into making a mistake. His power and physicality provide him an intimidating presence on the field. He can be counted on to win death balls and to be dependable in both ground and air battles. He also feels at ease in contact situations. He works very hard, demonstrating loyalty and willingness to make concessions for his teammates.
