Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti believes that players in the Premier League want to work harder than those in his home country of Italy.
Ancelotti is always looking for ways to improve as a manager and he feels that English players have a similar mentality, with hard work being a feature of Chelsea's training ground.
"In football there are a lot of things, a lot of details that you can always improve," Ancelotti told his club's official website.
"Every experience can give you the possibility to improve. I had good experience before I came here and now I think I improved with this experience.
"There are not a lot of differences between Italy and England, but I think the English players have a stronger mentality, they like to work very hard on the pitch every day."
Ancelotti recently spent time at the Uefa Elite Club Coaches Forum in Switzerland, where he discussed the game with such luminaries as Jose Mourinho, Claudio Ranieri, Didier Deschamps, Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, aomngst others.
"We talk about everything, the rules, the balls, they asked us what made the difference during the World Cup and Champions League," he added.
"It is a good moment to have a relationship with the other coaches, it is a good moment during the season because there are the most important coaches in Europe and it is important to know about everything. After that we stay together and speak in the bar like supporters, it is fun."
Ancelotti also believes that an important part of management is ensuring that the personal relationships at work are positive.
"I like to have a good relationship with all the people that work around me," he explained.
"I think I have the respect of the media, I think, I know very well that sometimes the relationship depends on results.
"For example, Fabio Capello now has a problem but I think you have to pay attention to the criticism. Sometimes there is a right criticism but when you attack the person I do not like this. He is still a very good coach."
