Toby Alderweireld

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.

Pochettino likes to play from the back, with the buildup, have the ball.

I've played with Jan Vertonghen for Ajax and the national team.

It's difficult when you play the best teams in the world. You have to be strong as a team and defend and get clean sheets.

Nobody's more important than the team.

I signed for Tottenham for a reason, and I love to play here.

I'm enjoying the Premier League; I'm enjoying playing for Southampton - I love the club, and I love the supporters.

You need to have dreams and goals in your life, but it's not easy.

It's always been a dream to play at a club like Spurs.
