Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has praised Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero after Argentina beat Jamaica 3-0 in an international friendly.
Tottenham’s thriving centre-back played the entire game, with Martinez coming off the bench, as a Lionel Messi-inspired brace added yet another win for La Albiceleste.
That’s a ridiculous 35 games unbeaten for Lionel Scaloni’s side heading towards the 2022 World Cup in Qatar – and to top it off, the former fullback has signed a new deal.
When Romero shared on Instagram that he was ‘grateful’ to be part of this current Argentina group, Manchester United’s new boy Martinez posted in the comments section ‘How well you play’, added with exploding head emojis.
ARGENTINA LOOKING VERY STRONG
The next stop for Scaloni’s men is Qatar and a very good chance for them to become world champions and perhaps provide Messi with a great last dance.
This very same side have already proven their worth because they are the current Copa America holders.
Before Euro 2020, Italy went into that tournament on a similar unbeaten run to the one Argentina are on now, so that is perhaps a lucky omen.
Romero is set to be a key figure at the back for his national side and it will come as no surprise to Tottenham supporters because of what they have seen from the hard-hitting defender week in and week out.
Before Antonio Conte walked through the doors at Hotspur Way, Romero was one of the shining lights for his side.
But, it’s fair to say, during these past 12 months, like many Spurs players, from Eric Dier to Ryan Sessegnon, he has been one who has taken his game to another level.
