Romário made his debut this Sunday with the team of FC Barcelona legends and spoke about Raphinha and Vitor Roque, in addition to the great moment of the team led by Hansi Flick

This Sunday in Curitiba, FC Barcelona plays a charity match for its team of legends, which was recently joined by Romário de Souza Faria, a forward who made history with the Barça shirt in the 1993/94 season. After wearing the culé jersey again in his country, the man from Rio de Janeiro took the opportunity to praise the work done by Barça this season.

"Normally, I'm not much of a football watcher, but when talking about Barça you can't help but be attentive. Barça now has a great team. They have won good games and played well. I believe that this year we will be champions again. "commented the former Brazilian striker, scorer of 39 goals in 65 official matches with the club.

Furthermore, 'O Baixinho' took the opportunity to congratulate Raphinha for his great start to the season. For Romário, the '11' culé is today one of the best footballers in the world. "He does very well with the Barça shirt and he is also doing very well with the Brazil shirt. Raphinha is a source of pride for all Brazilians, he will give us very special things in football," he commented.

Romário 'passes' from advising Vitor Roque

On the other hand, the Brazilian legend, true to his custom, left a 'zasca' to his other compatriot in Barcelona, Vitor Roque. Although 'Tigrinho' left on loan to Betis, he will continue to be the property of the Barça team as long as the 'green and white' do not execute the purchase option that includes his loan (for 25 million euros).

When asked, would he give advice to Vitor Roque?, Romário commented: "It's not possible, it's no use giving him or others advice, because they won't learn. They have to watch the damn video always, always, always... that one day they might achieve it," he said ironically, alluding to one of the Barça audiovisuals recalling his goals with the Barça shirt.

Despite his failed time in Barcelona, 'Tigrinho' seems to have regained confidence this season in Seville. With Manuel Pellegrini's team he has already scored 5 goals in 14 games, 3 more than he managed to score with the Barça shirt in 16 appearances last season.
