Barcelona signing Vitor Roque: Raphinha tells me it's all about winning, winning, winning

Vitor Roque admits he's enjoyed his first days with Barcelona.

Roque has just completed his move from Athletico Paranaense and had his first training session with his Barca teammates on Thursday.

He said: "The truth is that I am very happy for everything that is happening in my life. I really want to do things, learn and enjoy. During all this time I have prepared myself with a personal 'coach' and every day I spoke with him to get perfectly to Barcelona.

"It has been a dream come true. And, as I say, I am very happy for everything that is happening to me in these moments of my life. I really want to do things right and earn as much as possible with Barça. I am looking forward to learning and enjoying the best in the world."

Asked about his new teammates, he continued, "I really want to play with (Robert) Lewandowski. And, of course, also with Raphinha, who has told me everything, that Barça is a fantastic, perfect club, with all the facilities to learn and work. But also that here it is only worth winning, winning or winning.

"Before signing for Barça, Xavi and Deco talked to me. And they did it not only as coaches, but also as friends. They have always been willing to help me in everything and I am very grateful to them for their trust."
