‘He demolishes his rivals’: £165,000-a-week Tottenham player impresses on international duty
Argentina got the better of Paraguay in World Cup qualifying in Buenos Aires on Thursday night, and one of the best players on the pitch was Tottenham Hotspur central defender Cristian Romero.
Argentina defeated Paraguay 1-0 in the match under Lionel Scaloni.
Nicolas Otamendi, a former defender for Manchester City, scored the game’s sole goal.
Argentina’s Cristiano Romero won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, thus it was expected that the Tottenham Hotspur player would start and shine for his nation.
The defender who makes £165,000 per week (Spotrac) did an excellent job playing defense.
Praise for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero for Argentina vs Paraguay
The media were impressed by Romero’s performance.
Romero received a score of seven out of ten from Goal, who added: “Didn’t do as much on either end as his center-back partner, but was still as solid as can be.”
The 25-year-old received an 8 out of 10 from TyC Sports in Argentina, who noted: “The level of danger he takes in each encounter is as high as it is successful.
He “demolishes his rivals psychologically.”
Cristian Romero a star for Tottenham Hotspur and Argentina
Cristiano Romero is among the world’s top defenders, in my opinion.
Romero’s continued success for Argentina doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Against Paraguay, the defender was Argentina’s rock at the back.
In the same way that he has been for Tottenham this year.
Romero makes Tottenham and Argentina a stronger unit.
