Maguire: โI think every pre-season you always want to impress. You always want to come back fit and you always want to show yourself, but never more so than when youโve got a new manager in charge. The boys have come back in great shape and weโre all working hard and striving for the same thing, which is success for this clubโฆI think trainingโs been tough. As a group of players, we understand where weโre at physically. Weโve come back in good shape, but we need to get fitter. I think, on behalf of us last year, we know we need to do more: we need to be fitter, we need to be physically better and we need to be mentally better. So this is a perfect tour for us to enable that and to improve on our fitness and our style of playโฆI think the first couple of weeks is all about volume and working on yourself physically. Weโve also had a lot of tactical ideas thrown in there too. We know the season is four weeks away and it comes around quick, so youโve got to work on both as much as you can but in the first few weeks, working physically is the most important.โ
