Mauri: Ancelotti and I discuss football everyday

Paris Saint-Germain fitness coach and Performance Supervisor, Giovanni Mauri says he enjoys working with manager Carlo Ancelotti.
　
He said: 'We discuss football every day. We are passionate about it. On Wednesday evening we watched Chelsea versus Juventus together. We discussed the fitness, the skill, the tactics. It's normal for us to discuss football together, even more so when it comes to Paris Saint-Germain.'
　
Mauri believes it possible for a whole squad to maintain a high level of performance throughout an entire season.
　
'We are used to preparing players for these periods of the season. We will work from our experience. The most important thing is to recover well. Good recovery also includes the three elements we spoke about earlier: mentality, biochemistry and physicality. Working on performance is an individual thing and the hardest aspect of all is maintaining a high level of performance across the entire squad. There are a lot of players in the squad and some have played very little up to now. It's very difficult keeping all the players up to good levels. But it is possible to maintain a high level of performance throughout an entire season.'
