"I went to Europe very early," he said at a press conference. "I learned a lot and I think the same way. Returning to Brazilian football is not a step backward. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. Luiz Henrique is a real example. He came back to win titles, and I hope to win some too."
Roque pointed to Zenit St Petersburg full-back Luiz Henrique as an example, noting how the player returned from Real Betis to Botafogo before earning another move to Europe. "Luiz Henrique is a real example. He came back to win titles, and I hope to win some too," he said.
Roque spoke about his redemption at Palmeiras, explaining how dejected he had felt before coach Abel Ferreira restored his confidence. He said, “When I returned from Europe, I was in a bad place psychologically, with no confidence whatsoever. When I was at Palmeiras lacking confidence, coach Abel placed his trust in me.”
He added: “Having a consistent run of games is very important to regain that confidence. I managed to score goals and provide assists. I am very happy to be here.”

This international break really fecked up Palmeiras. First we lost against Santos (without Roque) and then yesterday only drew at home vs Vitoria. Vitor came on at HT after playing for Brazil against Tunisia just 24 hours before and then had to fly home from France. Despite dominating the game we just couldn't score. Luckily though Flamengo lost the derby against Fluminense so we are only two points behind them with four games to go.
Palmeiras plays against Flu (6th) at home this weekend and then end the season with three away games - Gremio (10th), Atletico Mineiro (9th) and Ceara (13th).
Meanwhile Fla plays at home against RB Bragantino (12th) and Ceara (13th) and away at Atletico Mineiro (9th) and Mirassol (4th).
We'll probably have to win all remaining games and hope Fla will drop points somewhere. In this case we would win the league even if we finish tied on points as first tiebreaker is number of wins (can't think of any other league that use this criteria but I kind of like it).
And ofc both teams play the Copa Libertadores final next Saturday. Can't wait!
