Tottenham’s Cristian Romero in Hot Water With Fans for Skipping Spurs’ Final Match
Relegation aside, Tottenham has even more controversy as star Cristian Romero is not expected to be at the team’s final game. Romero is sidelined with an injury and made the decision to go back to Argentina despite Tottenham being in danger of relegation.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi understands why this decision has sparked outrage among some fans.
“100%, I understand,” De Zerbi said of fans’ frustration, per ESPN. “He [Romero] spoke with the medical staff and together they decided to go to Argentina to complete the rehab with Argentinian medical staff.
“I want to be clear, I am not stupid. If I understand there is any player who thinks for himself before the club, I can’t be the same Roberto, but with Cuti Romero, I can’t say anything because with me, in my time, he has been correct from the beginning until now.”
