Vitor Roque equals Lo Celso as scorer

Vitor Roque has become one of the great protagonists of the Betis. The forward arrived at Manuel Pellegrini’s team with the aim of gaining more minutes in LaLiga and showing that his level at Barça was far below what he could do. And so it has been, the Brazilian has earned his starting position through a lot of work and dedication both on and off the field. In this Sunday’s game against Celtic wrote down his fifth goal of this seasonmanaging to become Betis’ top scorer along with Lo Celso. The attacker was very participatory throughout the match and generated up to four dangerous chances in the first half.

The first scare for the Galicians came in the 6th minute after stealing the ball near the front line. The Brazilian could not create the shot after falling inside the area. Although some players claimed the foul, Ortiz Arias did not consider it punishable. The second chance came in the 23rd minute after a great arrival from Abde on the wing who rushed to the baseline to put in a cross that Vitor Roque finished off first and ended up in the hands of Guaita. And the third time was the charm and ‘Tigrinho’ made Benito Villamarín roar after a back pass from Jhonny Cardoso. With the score tied 1-1, the forward shot at the goal again although he ran into Guaita. In the second half he only came close to scoring in the minutes of stoppage time after Bakambu’s pass, although he was not well positioned for the shot.

Vitor Roque has become the striker with the most goals for Betis. However, he has been characterized as a player with a lot of ambition and still He is not convinced by the figure of five goals. The Brazilian already knows that precipitation is his weak point in front of goal and is already working to perfect that aspect. Although his predisposition with the green and white team is leaving very good feelings. In fact, in the match against Celta the footballer left everything on the field of play to the point of leaving limping due to ankle discomfort. It should be remembered that the forward had to be absent from some training sessions last month for this same issue. Now with the break due to international commitments, the Brazilian will have time to recover from these ailments ahead of the next match against Valencia next Saturday, November 23 at 2:00 p.m.
