Premier League star says Cristian Romero is the best centre-back in the world

Alexis Mac Allister and Emi Martinez were in disbelief at the performance that their international teammate Cristian Romero delivered in the win over Chile on Wednesday.

Cristian Romero has been a star of the Copa America

Argentina’s Copa America campaign has got off to a perfect start, with the title holders registering two wins in two matches against Canada and Chile without conceding a single goal.

The World Champions look overwhelming favourites to retain the title that they won back in 2021 and just like he was three years ago, Romero is once again proving to be one of the main architects behind their impressive showing.

The Tottenham man has marshalled the troops at the back impressively and he has been getting plenty of praise from the Argentine press on the back of his display against the Chileans.

Cristian Romero – The best centre-back in the world

Tyc Sports named the Tottenham man the star of the match and suggested that his mere presence seems to be put off the opposition forwards, such is the reputation he is now developing.

Mac Allister has also been left in awe of the kind of performance Romero produced at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The Liverpool man commented on the centre-back’s Instagram post: “You are not normal”, while Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez wrote: “Best centre-back in the world.”

Argentina are back in action in the early hours of Sunday morning UK time when they face Peru.

If Romero keeps delivering performances like this on the biggest stage, it is only a matter of time before the likes of Real Madrid and others come calling, if they have not done so already.

Hopefully, Postecoglou is able to show the centre-back that he can fulfil his ambitions of winning major trophies at Spurs.
