What £42m Tottenham player has just said will stun Spurs fans, he’s completely transformed
Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero’s recent comments during the international break show he’s been completely transformed under Ange Postecoglou.
Romero has been Tottenham’s top defensive player ever since he transferred from Atalanta in 2021 for a sum of £42 million.The 25-year-old had a challenging season his previous time out and frequently appeared dissatisfied during a turbulent campaign under Antonio Conte.
Under Ange Postecoglou, he has, however, found his best form and developed a potential connection with summer addition Micky van de Ven.
However, Romero has been criticized in the past because some have said he put Argentina over Tottenham.
Romero and Giovani Lo Celso did, in fact, defy Tottenham’s desires and fly to play for Argentina during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a September 2021 piece in The Guardian.
The defender also came under fire for missing the World Cup due to an injury right before it, but his previous manager Antonio Conte defended him by saying the player would “play on one leg.”
If there was ever any question before, it seems like Romero is treating his responsibilities for Tottenham with the same level of importance as his international obligations.
What Romero has said will stun Tottenham fans
Romero, who was taken off due to injury during Argentina’s victory over Peru on Wednesday, claimed that his right ankle “had swollen too much.”
The vice-captain of Tottenham admitted that he left the game with one eye on Tottenham’s match against Fulham on Monday night.
We also have a crucial home encounter against Fulham on Monday, which is why I chose to leave at halftime,” he explained.
But everyone who enters will undoubtedly break it since this is a team of beasts
There has since been positive news on Romero’s knock as The Evening Standard claims there is ‘no serious concern’ from Spurs over the injury.
Romero’s remarks, however, highlight his dedication to the ongoing Ange Postecoglou project.
Romero accepting responsibility for his fitness will definitely please Spurs fans, and the defender has adapted wonderfully to his new position as vice-captain.
It’s fair to say that many Tottenham supporters have in the past questioned Romero’s dedication to the team since he has drawn criticism for allegedly prioritizing his country above Spurs.
Due to his dedication to the Spurs project, his latest words will undoubtedly allay any worries Tottenham fans may have had.
