In the wake of Argentina’s opening win at this year’s Copa America, Tottenham Hotspur star, Cristian Romero, has earned all the plaudits for his display. So much so, that even his own teammates are gushing over him on social media.
Cristian Romero is impressing for club and country
Cristian Romero has been in imperious form for club and country over the last couple of years, and he continues to excel with Argentina as they kick-start their defence of the Copa America.
La Albiceleste began their campaign to win the competition once more on Friday, with a 2-0 win against Canada. It wasn’t the dazzling display many have come to expect from Argentina, though, with second-half goals from Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez securing the win.
The Argentine press may not have been all that impressed by the team as a whole, but they have been singing the praises of Romero, with Tyc Sports naming him their star of the match.
Meanwhile, Ole praised the way Romero became a ‘leader’ on the field and his dominance on the ball.
Romero’s teammates are happy with his display
Romero took to Instagram after the game, with a message reading: “What a beautiful group this is, what a team.”
In the replies, his Tottenham teammate, Giovani Lo Celso said: “You play something else.” His international colleague, Rodrigo De Paul replied: “You set sail, Cristian,” implying Romero raised the bar and led by example for the team.
Spurs Web Opinion
It was another incredible performance from Cuti, and he just continues to go from strength to strength for Argentina.
I would not be surprised if they win Copa America again this year, and if they do, I’d wager Romero will be at the heart of it all, keeping them solid at the back so that their electric attacking players have the freedom to flourish up top.
