Tottenham boss Juande Ramos admits he has been swept away from the passion of Premiership fans in his first season in England.

"Everything is different. It's another concept altogether - no better or no worse than any other but definitely singular and unique," the Spaniard said.

Ramos has impressed since taking charge at White Hart Lane in October, leading Spurs to the Carling Cup final and notching up an astounding 5-1 win over arch rivals Arsenal in the process - a highlight of his reign so far.

"It was exciting to share that night with the fans," he said of last month's Carling Cup semi-final second leg.

"I stayed focused on the game but I have to admit that it was difficult not to join in the euphoria, although the best thing for me was seeing the players' and fans' excitement at going to Wembley."

The Spaniard claims the secret to his success in north London is instilling a good team spirit in the side.

He said: "You have to believe that only the team can make you great."

However, he admits it has not been easy settling into a new country.

"It has been difficult to get used to the characteristics of the English clubs and to take on the responsibility that managers have here," he added on juanderamos.com.
