Roberto Soldado has been underwhelming for Tottenham this season [GETTY]
The 28-year-old joined Spurs in the summer from Valencia for £28 million, but he has failed to justify his price tag.
Prior to his strike against Cardiff, Soldado had scored only once in his previous eight outings.
And the striker admits had he been younger, he may have quit the Premier League and returned home.
"If all this had happened to me when I was 22, I would have probably returned home after a month, but I believe it is a positive experience for me, my family and for the education of my children," he told Radio Onda Cero.

"I am the only one responsible for my poor form, but I will get better.
"We have a great team and I am convinced we can have a good season."
Tottenham travel to Chelsea on Saturday, knowing only a win will keep their slim Champions League hopes alive.
