The opposition, last season Champions League finalists Juventus. The result, a 2-1 victory, to get the US Tour and the 2017\/18 season off to the perfect start.<\/p>\n<p>Our cameras were there to catch every moment of the new coach\u2019s big day, both in the build-up to the game and throughout the 90 minutes of play. And the resulting video will give you a fine idea of the way he lives the action from the touchline, issues his orders and reacts to everything that\u2019s happening on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>And if this game is anything to go by, Valverde won&#8217;t be spending much of his match time sitting on the bench.
