Already it had warned in the previous hours to the party that the Olympiacos would surrender tribute to Ernesto Valverde by his stage in the club heleno, where won five titles in three seasons, included two doublets. The red devils gathered in the terracing were singing in his favour during several minutes.

Besides, already in the lawn, leaders of Olympiacos delivered him a bouquet of laurels like homage by the services loaned. Valverde Appreciated the affection of the fans and applauded to the visibly thrilled public -although it was a person that hides very well his feelings-.

Valverde Already had explained in press conference that would be a special day for him: "it Is thrilling to go back again to this stadium that has meant so much for me. Also I am expectante for living the party of morning in all the senses, in which we play us a possible classification and also for living a wonderful environment".

The extremeño stood out the education that there is here in spite of some strong fans: "Always I have felt the respect of all the people in Greece, included of rival fans that always are hard but that have recognised my work. I do not have any doubt that tomorrow will encourage a lot to his team, although to me receive me well

Trainer that does respect

In his short stay in Barcelona, Valverde already is winning to the changing room, to the trabajores of the club, to the directive and to the fans. A simple type, direct, that escapes of the focuses and speech only of football, his big passion. The luck and the skill will plant him more or less up to level of titles, but deserves the best.
