Everton captain Phil Jagielka admits preseason under Roberto Martinez is "drastically different" compared to David Moyes' time.
The England defender has so far relished working with the Spaniard and explained how pre-season training has already been a wholly different experience to years gone by.
"It's been drastically different to what we've done before but it's been enjoyable," he told evertonfc.com. "It's been a lot more training with the balls and a lot more concentration required - and that sometimes isn't the easiest thing when you're tired.
"It's been tough but pre-season is always tough.
"Sunday's result wasn't exactly what we wanted but we can still look at a few positives and this can put us in good stead for the next few weeks."
