Rafael van der Vaart admits the culture at Tottenham fits him like a glove.

The Dutch ace hasn't looked back since his move from Real Madrid.

"When you come to White Hart Lane you expect to see a show," Van der Vaart told France Football.

"It is in the club's genes and that's what football has to be, a show.

"When I hear coaches saying after a boring 0-0 that they controlled the game, I believe that is so disheartening.

"Street football is in our genes in Holland. It not only teaches you how to dribble in tight spaces, but also to fight. It gives you the ability to see if your opponent is stronger than you."
