Pavlyuchenko said: “In England they have a different system of training.
“I barely survived it when I’d just arrived.
“I trained like never in my life before, I swear!
“I looked at my watch and saw that the training session had gone on for exactly two hours!
“Then another half an hour in the gym! Two and a half hours! Can you imagine that?
“The weights started to get to me, and I stopped and said to the trainer, ‘I can’t do this.’
“But that’s how they work – I’m shocked. I thought it would be a lot easier.”
“Right now the games are on Wednesday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday.
“The training is like this – those who played get to recover, and the rest do light training with the ball. It’s not that tough.
“But when there is a week’s gap between games, training is serious.”
Pavlyuchenko joined Spurs this summer.
