CHIEVO PLAYERS VOTED SERIE A’S HARDEST WORKERS
Rolando
Maran’s side aren’t known for their beautiful football, instead focusing on
organisation and work rate, something which has kept them in Serie A since
2008.
Today’s
Gazzetta dello Sport takes a dive into the Flying Donkey’s stats, noting that
of the players who have played at least four games, only Roberto Inglese and
Manuel Pucciarelli are under 28.
That
focus on experience hasn’t affected the physicality of Maran’s team though,
with five players in the top 15 for distance run.
Lucas
Castro has run more than anyone, covering 83.154km so far, with Ivan
Radovanovic in second place.
Fabrizio
Cacciatore also makes the top 10, with Inglese and Përparim Hetemaj cracking
the top 15.
In
addition, Radovanovic and Castro make the top five for metres covered a full
intensity.
Chievo’s
fitness coach, Roberto De Bellis, takes a scientific approach to the players’
fitness, with pedometers and training cones which light up in training.
As
well as that, every player is given a watch which measures their fitness,
pressing a button on the device when they wake up to gauge recovery and stress.
