National media claims Tottenham star is the best in the world in his position

The Argentine media’s love affair with Cristian Romero continues, with the centre-back praised to high heavens after his latest display.

Romero is a hero back in Argentina

Romero was arguably the Albiceleste’s best player in the Copa America in the summer, with the South American side’s success in the tournament being built on their water-tight defence.

The World champions picked up from where they left off, getting their qualifying campaign off to the perfect start by brushing Chile aside 3-0 in Buenos Aires on Thursday.

The Tottenham man delivered another solid display in the heart of Argentina’s back three, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala ensuring that the home side registered a comfortable win.

Cristian Romero – the best in the world

Romero has received plenty of plaudits for his display against the Chileans, with TyC Sports gushing about the Tottenham man and suggesting that he is the best central defender in the world.

The publication wrote about the 26-year-old: “He’s a beast. He doesn’t lose one duel. There is no better centre-back in the world than Cuti these days.”

Romero and Argentina will now travel to Colombia for a tough away game on Tuesday.

Given the physicality with which Romero plays and the way he commits full-bloodedly to every tackle, it is always a nervous wait for Spurs fans during the international break to see if the defender comes back in one piece.

If you put Romero in one of the biggest teams in the world like Man City or Real Madrid and he really would be considered among the top three centre-backs in world football.
