At Ajax, I got an education in how to be confident on the ball, my technique, and then, at Atletico, I learned how to defend. It was about the details, the ruthlessness; be clinical in front of your own goal, win every duel, be clever. I learned so much and, defensively, I grew there so much.

I'm grateful to play at Wembley - it is a very historical place - but it is not the same feeling as White Hart Lane.

If you have two weeks of no feeling in your leg, you start to wonder, 'Will it ever return?'

I defend my position. I am not Messi. I am not Ronaldo. I have something else. I am not the quickest, like Walcott. I have to be clever and read situations. If I didn't have that, I wouldn't be able to play Premier League. Everybody has a strength - this is mine.
