Vitor Roque chose to wear the No. 19 shirt with Barcelona, even though the Catalan club's management offered him Lionel Messi's historic No. 10 shirt.
The newspaper "Sport" reported that the Barcelona administration offered Roque the numbers 10, 12, 16,19, 24,15.
The Brazilian star rejected Messi's historic shirt, No. 10, for a simple reason, which is that he realizes that wearing it will put severe pressure on him, and he wants to distance himself from it at the beginning of his career with Barca.
Roque hopes to have the number 10 in the future with Barcelona, but only after he has done enough to wear the historic Flea shirt.
At the same time, Roque saw that the number 12 went more for defenders, and 25 for goalkeepers, so his final decision was to wear the number 19 shirt.
The 18-year-old will participate in his first training session with Xavi Hernandez's squad next Saturday, and he can participate starting against Las Palmas on January 4.
