Real reason why Xavi doesn't play Vitor Roque – there's a disagreement with Deco

Vitor Roque doesn't convince Xavi and his coaching staff in training, reports Cadena SER's Sique Rodriguez.

This is the main reason why the Barca boss doesn't give the Brazilian any game time these days.

Deco, in turn, believes the 19-year-old is already good enough to make the difference. Barca's sporting director insists Roque is 'better than most people think'.

Barcelona will try to loan the forward out this summer, although the player's representative is against the idea. There are multiple clubs interested in Vitor Roque's services.

Vitor Roque has played zero minutes for the fifth straight time. The last time he featured for Barca was on April 13 when Xavi heavily rotated the squad ahead of the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Brazilian has scored two goals in 310 minutes for Blaugrana.
