Tottenham player hailed in home country – ‘Most important piece’ of his sector

Cristian Romero’s season with Tottenham Hotspur has been a reason for the Argentine media to be excited for what he’s about to bring to the national team at the World Cup.

That’s explained in a piece from outlet AS. They claim that with defences playing a big part in the Premier League in this start of the season, the 24-year-old is one of those who most ‘stand out’.

The outlet claims Romero is having ‘excellent’ form at Tottenham, making a ‘difference’ when he’s in Antonio Conte’s side.

The story highlights Spurs’ positive start to the season, with ten goals conceded, pointing out the Argentine player is ‘certainly the most important piece’ in the team’s defensive line. They also bring a bunch of stats to show the good work done by him in recent games.

‘He proves it every game, timing well to get ahead of opposing forwards before coming into body-to-body contact, and being able to offer his team the possibility of attacking opponents when they are most disorganised,’ the outlet writes, claiming he’s been impressing since arriving in London last year.

AS call Romero the ‘kaiser’ in Tottenham’s defence, and believe that with his positive form ahead of the World Cup, that will be crucial for Argentina’s defence at the tournament in Qatar.
