Real Madrid fitness coach Pintus compares Modric and Chelsea striker Lukaku

Real Madrid fitness coach Antonio Pintus has spoken of working with Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan.

Pintus was asked to compare Lukaku with Real Madrid veteran Luka Modric.

He said, “They are very different. Lukaku is a sprinter, he's basically got the body of an American Football player.

"Modric is a marathon runner with these incredible surges of pace.

“They are complete opposites, but the training regime has to be one for the whole squad, then you try to work on individual routines, focusing on strength, resistance and pace, but also take their age into account."
