With a so competitive staff like the one of this year, there was a lot of expectancy of face to the first announcement, that has been 'simple' for Ernesto Valverde. A lot of wanted to know the tastes and the priorities of the trainer through his first decisions, but this has found with some situations that have helped him to choose. With these 'favours' it will be necessary to coexist all the season, but no always there will be so many eases.
