Romelu Lukaku has hit out at the Premier League just six days after completing his \u00a370m switch from Manchester United to Inter Milan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Belgian forward has been preparing for the new Serie A season with Inter for less than a week but has already labelled training in Italy as “real work” compared to that of the English top-flight.<\/p>\n

Lukaku’s PL dig: Five things to know…\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Lukaku completed his “dream” move to Serie A on August 8 for \u00a370m.<\/li>\n
  • He joins up with\u00a0Antonio Conte, who had previously courted him during his stint as Chelsea boss.<\/li>\n
  • The Italian tactician is widely renowned for his intense training sessions.<\/li>\n
  • Italy international\u00a0Emanuele Giaccherini, among others, has previously described\u00a0Conte’s sessions as \u00a0“shocking”.<\/li>\n
  • And Lukaku has now testified to that assumption by describing his new training regime as “real work”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Nerazzurri head coach\u00a0Antonio Conte has built a reputation for his vigorous training sessions, which is believed by some to have been a main source of his eventual Chelsea decline.<\/p>\n

    And\u00a0Lukaku has now reaffirmed that perception after he described his new training regime in Milan as “different” to his previous one at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

    When asked by Otro about his new training plan, Lukaku replied<\/a>: “It’s hard man. It’s different. In England, it’s a lot of work. But over here, it’s real work.”<\/p>\n
