Cristian Romero leaves Tottenham in a difficult situation and flies to Argentina

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has faced harsh criticism for flying to Argentina instead of supporting his team in the final round of the Premier League. While the Londoners were preparing for a crucial match against Everton to avoid relegation, the injured defender headed to his homeland. This is reported by Goal.com reports .

The central defender was sidelined last month after suffering a knee injury against Sunderland. Although he could not play, his absence from the club during such a difficult time as captain sparked outrage among fans and experts. Cristian Romero preferred to watch the historic championship match between his boyhood club Belgrano and River Plate directly from the stadium on Sunday.

talkSPORT host and Tottenham fan Paul Hawksbee reacted sharply to the situation. In his opinion, the captain's decision casts doubt on his loyalty to the club. Hawksbee called it a "terrible decision," emphasizing that the player's priorities lie further away than his team, which is fighting to stay in the Premier League.

South American football expert Tim Vickery tried to clarify the situation. According to him, Belgrano is not just a club for Cristian Romero, but the team where he started his career. Belgrano has never won the Argentine championship in its history, which is why the match against River Plate is of great importance to the player.

For Tottenham, the situation is quite serious, as the team is at risk of being relegated to the second division of English football. It is currently unknown how the captain's absence will affect the atmosphere within the team, but fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with the World Cup winner's actions on social media.
