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 had to leave Argentina’s victory over Peru due to an injury, and the defender said his right ankle “had swollen too much” to Argentine publication La Voz.

The vice-captain of Tottenham admitted that he withdrew from the contest because he was focused on Tottenham’s match against Fulham on Monday night.

“That’s why I decided to go out at halftime, since we also have an important home match with Tottenham Hotspur on Monday against Fulham,” he said.

“But this is a team of animals and anyone who enters is sure to break it.”

Romero’s injury has recently received good news, according to The Evening Standard, who says that Spurs have no severe concerns about the injury.

Romero, however, has demonstrated his dedication to the ongoing Ange Postecoglou project by his remarks.

Romero’s admission that he is responsible for his fitness will no doubt please Spurs fans, and the defender has adapted to his new position as vice-captain wonderfully.

Romero has come under fire for allegedly prioritizing his country above Spurs, therefore it’s fair to say that many Tottenham supporters have in the past questioned his dedication to the team.
