Thomas Frank has offered high praise for one of his Tottenham Hotspur stars this week, who is ‘one of the best in the world’ in his position.
Thomas Frank has spent the last few months getting used to his Tottenham Hotspur squad, following his move from Brentford.
It certainly took time for the manager to get familiar with a few players, as he did not rush to name his Tottenham captain after his appointment.
Cristian Romero has since been confirmed as Tottenham captain following Heung-min Son’s departure, and the Argentine has looked solid since taking the armband.
Thomas Frank praises Cristian Romero at Tottenham
Speaking through the club’s official channels, Thomas Frank spoke on Romero and was full of praise for the Argentine centre-back, explaining just how highly he rates the defender.
Frank also went on to add that Cristian Romero’s personality is a driving force in the squad, stressing the passion the Argentine brings every time he steps onto the pitch.
He said, “I rate him super high. I think he is one of the best centre backs in the world. It helps when you have won a World Cup and the Europa League.
“The best perform week in, week out. I definitely see a more mature player and person, not that he has not been that before. He is aggressive when he needs to be, cool and composed when he needs to be.”
“I think he is a great character. He loves his football. He is like a boy sometimes with his love for the game. When he trains and plays, he has this focus, which is something really important. He is a great character.”
Romero’s form key for Spurs this season
Romero has often been accused of being a rash defender who tends to make reckless challenges that have, in the past, led to him being sent off.
However, so far this season, the Argentine has kept a level head, choosing his moments to go into a challenge, and impressively, he has only been booked once.
Frank will, of course, be counting on his captain this season to help Tottenham remain competitive in the league and push for silverware.
