The reporter reported coldlyAt the beginning of December, when Roque, the talented goalscorer pre-purchased by Barcelona, won the Brazilian Liga title, Spain** was hyping that he would be Barcelona's savior. And Barcelona fans only learned that the 18-year-old will join in the winter window after the official announcement of Roque's parent club Atletico Paranaense, instead of next summer. Laporta couldn't wait for Roque to arrive half a year early, with obviously only one purpose: to improve Barcelona's attack as soon as possible.

Roque is the proud hand of Barça's new sporting director, who has personally visited the home of the Brazilian talent on several occasions, and eventually defeated Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Grand Paris and the Premier League to acquire the striker who is considered to have unlimited potential. But the premise for Roque to join in advance is actually Gavi's serious injury - Barcelona, who is shy in his pocket, can revoke Gavi's registration through the winter window and provide Roque with space to register. According to Article 77 of La Liga's Financial Fair Play Statute, a wounded player can be registered if the injured person has been injured for more than 4 months and the annual salary of the newly registered player does not exceed 80% of the injured player.

However, considering that Gavi's registration for this season is very complicated in itself, Barcelona need to do more to convince the league. To Laporta's disappointment, although La Liga stipulates that Roque can be registered, this type of serious injury replacement registration is only valid for four months. This means that Barcelona will only have the option to register Roque at the end of January to ensure that the Brazilian can play the remaining four months of the season. However, January is the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey match, which means that Xavi can only rely on his existing players in attack.

In addition to relying on existing players, Xavi also has to face their doubts. As early as when Barcelona defeated the weak team Villarreal 4-3, Lewandowski had publicly stated that he did not have enough firepower. Xavi's line-up has been questioned lately, as he did not use the familiar 433, but rather an unbalanced 442 or 325. Lewandowski is partnered with four midfielders and one winger, and it seems that there are more attacking players, Felix, Raphinha, Pedri and left-back Balde have all been pushed up front, but in reality each player is not in his own position. Despite Barca's top statistics in La Liga in terms of shots, passes in the final third and possession near the opposition box, there is no real finisher.

Roque is considered Ronaldo's ** man, a natural penalty area finisher. At only 18 years old, he has excellent physical fitness and shooting skills, as well as a keen sense of smell in front of goal. And his off-ball movement is very good, providing more attacking options for his teammates. His tackle interception stats have risen dramatically this season in both the São Paulo State League and the Brazilian Liga Division, proving that he is also an active frontcourt defender. This has helped Xavi to execute his high pressing tactics more effectively. However, Barcelona's offensive sluggishness is a system problem, and pinning the change on a 18-year-old teenager who has never played in La Liga highlights Barcelona's embarrassment.
