Tottenham fullback Porro: After my first Prem game I realised the intensity was something different

Tottenham fullback Pedro Porro admits he's still adjusting to the demands of the Premier League.

Porro moved to Spurs in January from Sporting Lisbon, having also been on the books of Manchester City.

He told Sport TV: "I think the biggest difference is the pace. In the first game I realised that it is intense, more physical.

"At Sporting we had more possession, we attacked more, there are better teams here, we have to defend more.

"The last in the table can easily beat you. That is the beauty of this championship."

Porro added, "The last few days at Sporting were a bit difficult, they were intense, but I'm fine, I had to get on with my life. It was a very big change, but I think I'm doing well."
