Van der Vaart: Tottenham will beat AC Milan by going long

Rafael van der Vaart says Tottenham should go long tonight to beat Champions League opponents AC Milan.

Part of the club's success this season has been down to the strike partnership of Van der Vaart and Peter Crouch, with the latter providing valuable knock-downs to help the Dutchman to bag 12 goals this year.

"When Crouch is playing then it's normal we try to reach him because he's a big guy and I'm always behind him," Van der Vaart said.

"I've already scored six or seven times when he put the ball down, I'm always there. It's our quality and it's really hard to defend. We want to reach the final and if it's with long balls then it's with long balls."
