Vitor Roque’s personal and sporting situation has changed radically since his arrival at Real Betis Balompié. Backed by the coach and the board, Betis has already given him the opportunity to add valuable minutes in LaLiga in the recent defeat against Real Madrid and it is expected that he will continue to add importance in Ingeniero Pellegrini’s scheme.

As Betis has been doing since his arrival, pampering Vitor Roque by making him the star of the Betis club’s social media, appearing in countless images and videos, he recently participated in a video in which he told five things about himself to introduce himself to his new fans.

Vitor Roque told five things about himself to introduce himself to his new fans

In a short video of just over a minute, Vitor Roque introduced himself to his new hobby with the intention of telling five interesting facts about him:

“Hi, I’m Vitor Roque and I’m going to tell you five interesting facts about myself,” the Brazilian began.

To start, the Brazilian striker wanted to open up about his gastronomic tastes, stating that his favorite food is, nothing more and nothing less, than stroganoff, a popular dish that he proceeded to explain:

“My favorite food is stroganoff. Stroganoff is a typical Brazilian food made with minced chicken and lots of sauce like ketchup or mustard.”

Once his culinary tastes were settled, Vitor explained the reason why he is nicknamed Tigrinho:

“The second curiosity is that my nickname is Tigrinho, after my father. His friends called him Tigre (Tigrão),” explained the striker, who was nicknamed Tigrinho, or little tiger, after being the son of his father, the Tiger.

It’s not all food, nicknames and football for Vitor Roque, as the attacker confessed that he enjoys resting a lot in his free time, enjoying the occasional series or movie:

“The third is that, on my days off, I really like to rest, sleep and watch series and movies.”

But that is not the only leisure activity that Tigrinho enjoys, as he confessed that he is a big fan of video games:

“The fourth is that I also really like playing video games.”

To close, Vitor told a detail unknown to many regarding his football origins, stating that his position was not always that of a centre forward, but rather one more focused on defence and organising the team:

“The last thing is that, when I was a child, I started as a defensive pivot. I changed coaches when I was 12 and he told me that I was ‘very strong’ and that I looked better when I was close to the (opponent’s) goal and today I am a centre forward,” concluded the footballer, who did not stop smiling throughout the interview.
