Kabasele reveals Watford secrets

The 27-year-old proved intelligent company in an interview with the 'Daily Mail', speaking of changes in eating habits and training sessions. 

"We eat completely differently from last season," responded Kabasele. 

"More avocado, more quinoa. Less pasta and rice during the week. Only the day before the game and the day of the game. Less tomato sauce. Beans are not in any more.

"When I first came here, I saw especially the English players with their eggs and beans in pre-match meals. This was a surprise, but we've seen big improvements. It is a question of eating well in the right moments — now we know the 48 hours after a game are very important — and we feel better on the pitch.

"We are fresh, finding extra effort in the second half and we don't have as many muscle injuries.

"We register with an iPad when we arrive. So the manager knows exactly what time we are at the training ground. In the past we would report at nine o'clock and some players came at five or 10 past. Now there is no space for this. If you are not here at nine you pay £100 a minute and you go to the manager's office and explain why you are late.

"One or two are always late. Not very, very late but one or two minutes. Now 9.01 or 9.02 is late. It makes each player responsible,' he believes, and feels on solid ground as he has 'never been fined one pound' in more than two years at Watford. He jokes about 'liking the money.'

"In the dressing room, they say I am a silent killer. I don't speak much, but I can be funny and if I can make a joke I will. We need fresh air.

"Life is difficult for most people. It's important not to take everything seriously."

Watford will hope to continue their run of form as they take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
