Speaking on Tottenham Hotspur’s YouTube channel, Heung-Min Son has been discussing his Spurs teammate Cristian Romero.

Ahead of the release of Spider-Man No Way Home, Son teamed up with Tom Holland to play a game where he had to choose the Spurs equivalent of a number of Marvel superheroes.

Holland equated Hugo Lloris to Captain America, while Sergio Reguilon was picked as the team’s Loki, but when it came to Spurs’ Incredible Hulk, Romero was the man both Holland and Son chose.

Son and Holland discussed Romero.

“I’ll tell you who really gets stuck in, Romero,” Holland said.

“Oh yeah, that’s a very good choice, a good shout. I’m scared to play against him. That’s a good choice, you’re actually better at this than me, you’re a big Spurs fan,” Son said.

Nightmare

Son says that he’s scared to play against Romero, and, to be honest, we can understand why.

The 23-year-old may be a fairly new member of Spurs’ squad, but it’s not taken him long to make his mark in north London.

As Holland says, he loves to get stuck in, and we can imagine he’s an absolute nightmare to come up against in training.

Just imagine, it’s a freezing cold Monday morning at Hotspur Way and you want to take it easy after a tough game at the weekend and then you’re greeted by a crunching tackle by Romero.

The centre-half is the type of player who takes no prisoner and never takes it easy, and we can imagine that Son has been on the wrong end of a few of his challenges.

It’s not hard to understand why Son is a bit frightened of Romero.
