Romero shares dreadful social media post slamming Tottenham chiefs after defeat

Cristian Romero recently sparked controversy on social media after briefly sharing a post that criticized Tottenham Hotspur’s management for their handling of his return from international duty.

The reposted report claimed that Tottenham left Romero to arrange his own travel back to the UK after playing for Argentina, while other Premier League clubs provided better logistical support for their players.

This situation allegedly resulted in Romero arriving with less rest than his counterparts, which could have impacted his performance in Tottenham’s North London derby defeat to Arsenal.

The match itself was a frustrating one for Romero, as he was responsible for marking Gabriel Magalhaes during a second-half corner.

Unfortunately, Gabriel scored the winning goal for Arsenal, leaving Spurs to suffer another defeat against their rivals.

The derby loss marked the third consecutive home defeat for Tottenham in the Premier League, further compounding the team’s struggles this season.

Romero’s decision to briefly repost the report, originally shared by Argentinian journalist Gaston Edul, raised eyebrows among Tottenham fans and media alike.

The report translated to: “Tottenham lost to Arsenal again. Tottenham has not yet consolidated its position to fight because it is not in the details: It was the only club in the Premier League which sent players back from international duty on their own and without their own logistics by decisions of its leaders.

It gave an advantage because its players arrived with less rest than others. Cuti Romero played with a fever.”

While Romero quickly removed the repost from his X (formerly Twitter) account, it didn’t take long for screenshots of the message to begin circulating online.

His brief interaction with the post led to speculation that the defender was venting his frustration not only about the result but also about the perceived lack of support from Tottenham’s management.

Fans were quick to debate whether this logistical mishap played a role in his underwhelming performance during the derby.

Shortly after deleting the repost, Romero posted a message to Tottenham fans, addressing the disappointment of losing the derby but also calling for unity during a tough start to the season.

His message read: “It hurts to lose a derby, but I have no doubt that we will turn this bad start to the season around. Let’s all be together, also at this moment. Thanks to all the fans for always supporting us.”

This message was a clear attempt to calm the situation and show his commitment to helping the team bounce back from their recent struggles.

Romero’s taxing international break likely contributed to his lackluster performance. He had flown to South America and played two full matches for Argentina during the break, including a 2-1 loss to Colombia just days before the North London derby.

Traveling such a long distance and playing intense, high-stakes matches would have been physically demanding, and it’s understandable that Romero may have returned to Tottenham fatigued.

Add to that the reported lack of proper travel logistics and his playing with a fever, and it’s easy to see how these factors could have impacted his performance on the pitch.

Despite the external circumstances, Tottenham fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Romero’s defending during the key moments that led to Arsenal’s winning goal.

Some felt that Romero could have done more to prevent Gabriel’s header, while others pointed out that he may have been unlucky not to be awarded a foul in the lead-up to the goal.

Arsenal legend Paul Merson weighed in on the incident, noting that while Romero might have been nudged in the back, the defending still deserved to be punished, and the goal stood.

The loss to Arsenal is just one of many challenges facing Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham this season.

Romero’s social media incident has added an extra layer of drama to an already difficult situation, as the team grapples with underperformance and internal criticism.

Moving forward, Tottenham will need to address not only their tactical and performance issues but also any behind-the-scenes concerns that could be affecting team morale.

For Romero, the derby defeat and the social media controversy have been tough to navigate, but his commitment to the team remains clear.

As Tottenham looks to turn their season around, the defender will be hoping to bounce back from this rocky start and prove his value as one of the squad’s key players.
