When it signed with the FC Barcelona in summer of 2017, few months before the course of Neymar, sure that Ernesto Valverde did not expect to win two Leagues in his two first seasons. The titles and good results keep him in the place

Calendar of FC Barcelona

They are not few the criticisms that has received Ernesto Valverde since it is trainer of the FC Barcelona. That if it is too conservative, that if the Barça has lost the essence of touch, possession and creativity, that if it poses the parties as if it headed to a modest team instead of to a big of Europe... The 'Txingurri' has known lidiar with all the lines that have written in his against, sabedor that the very done work and the achievement of important titles would do that they remained in wet paper.

It conquered LaLiga Santander and the Glass of the King in his first season, against all prognosis. And it is that in August of 2017 few trusted that the FC Barcelona could dominate the Spanish football, first by the hit anímico of the course of Neymar and, afterwards, by the forcefulness with which the Real Madrid won the Supercopa of Spain to the culés (1-3 in the Camp Nou and 2-0 in Santiago Bernabéu).

But, to base of time, some changes in the staff and confidence in the project of Valverde, the Barça was chaining victories until starring a season ilusionante, with the only stain of the elimination in chambers of Champions League in front of the Rome. In this second campaign to the control of the team, the 'Txingurri' for the moment already has guided it to the achievement of a new title of League, another final of Glass of Rey -title that already won the past year- and some semifinals of League of Champions.

With Ernesto Valverde in the bench, to date the FC Barcelona has won 53 of the 73 crashes of League that has contested (including the one of this Saturday in front of the Raise), so only has lost three and has empatado 17. In the global of all the competitions, has won 78 parties, empatado 25 and stray 9, two of them in his two first parties, the ones of the Supercopa of Spain 2017.

The numbers back to Valverde in the Barça

It remains clear that the numbers back to Ernesto Valverde at the head of the team, further that the Barça do not play wonderfully neither of the same way that did it with Pep Guardiola in the bench. Some barcelonistas would have to make a fresh start, and darse that hardly some team will be able to play the same that the one who won the sextete.

It is necessary to content with a technician, Ernesto Valverde, that for the moment has won already two Leagues and a Glass of the King with the FC Barcelona, waiting for seeing which sucede in the final against the Valency in Benito Villamarín, and in the semifinals of the Champions League in front of the Liverpool. A lot of challenges still for facing, but the Barcelona walks calmer when knowing that has the first title ensured.
