Federico Fazio is desperate to kickstart his Tottenham career.
The former Sevilla defender was sent off on debut at Manchester City last month.
Ahead of today's trip to Aston Villa, Fazio, 27, said: "I like to be hard and strong. At Sevilla I was the captain, so I am a leader too. This is the way I like to play.
"Of course, what happened at City was not the start I wanted - and I don't really want to speak about the penalty I gave away on Aguero.
"But before that I thought I was playing very well."
