Christian Eriksen says he's having a different role on the pitch when he plays for Denmark compared to Tottenham.

The midfielder scored 15 goals in his last 18 outings for the national side - and he's nowhere near this statistics at Spurs although he assists regularly in the London club's shirt.

"I'm a little bit further up the pitch here and not so much involved in the build-up because we probably have less of a build-up than we do at Spurs," Eriksen said.

"It's a bit different with Denmark, we go for the long ball a bit earlier and try to get the second ball.

"Everyone wants to play like Spurs. We want to play attractive football, get the ball forward and create chances with good possession.

"My form with Denmark hasn't been too bad, I got off to a very slow start with five goals in my first 50 games.

"It took me a while but I'm finally here. It's almost going too well but I hope it carries on."
