Roque joined Barca in January from Athletico Paranaense and is now on-loan with Real Betis.
He told Sport: “Yes (joining Barcelona was rushed). The truth is that I was in Brazil and I didn’t know if I was going to come or not. I found out that I was going to come to Spain about a week before, I was on vacation, I didn’t know it.
"And when I arrived I had few opportunities, I didn’t have time to adapt either. The truth is that I have had some bad moments there, but they serve as a learning experience. I’m very happy to have been at Barcelona.
"The things I’ve learned there help me today and I’m very happy.”
