Barça and Olympiacos never have found in Champions, but Ernesto Valverde himself know what is to live a party with the Greek group. The technician headed to the helenos in two distinct stages, and an ex his player has valued his big impact in the club

Calendar of FC Barcelona

There were some doubts on his arrival to the FC Barcelona, but although it still is very soon to value his work, Ernesto Valverde seems to have gone in with good foot in the Barcelona bench. The technician already has left big memories in his ancient clubs, and one of his ex pupilos has reviewed his stage in the Olympiacos, the next rival of the culés.

It treats of Moses Stolen, with which coincided in the Espanyol and in his second stage in the Georgios Karaiskakis. The Catalan has conceded an interview to 'Mark', and although it thinks that still is prompt, warns that his ex trainer will fit: "When it arrived to the Espanyol to me me descartó, but is a trainer that if you work and win it to you in the terrain of game gives you an opportunity, and this is something very good for the footballers. Afterwards it carries me to Greece because it thought that fit him inside the form to play there, wanted to somebody that gave more balance. It is a person that goes forward, to me likes me have a boss like this, maybe to others likes them somebody more authoritarian. But to me it did me see the things of form a bit different".

"This is not a Barça that identify to Valverde, for now. One of the good things that has is that it is a technician that adapts a lot to what has, calibrates a lot which arms has. And I think that still the Barcelona does not play with the joy that he gives him to the teams. Also it is truth that in the clubs in which it has been before the rivals played him of you to you, but against the Barcelona almost all the blocks close , and neither has the necessary players", has signalled the one of Sabadell.

Idol in Greece

But regarding his adventure in Greece, Moses Stolen does not have doubts: "He was there in two stages. After the first did not have intention to return and even arrived to come the president in aeroplane and helicopter to convince it. It accepted to the fourth offer. Already you will see when it return how they want him. It won titles, but also had a form to play very showy and cheerful, was very offensive. And, besides, they want him by his personality, is not a person that have an ego big neither that want leaderships, and this is very valued there".

"Always there has been some interference of the president and do not know how will carry it this technician, Lemonis. And this group does not have any player that mark the difference, is not as before. But the trainer is a very valued figure , Ernesto Valverde was a God", has explained, before ensuring that "by what I experienced, if they are in crisis the tension that has to have now has to be tremenda. Each party that empataba was a drama, there was a very strong pressure. They were accustomed to win it all there, but do not think that pose problems to the Barça in Champions".
