Cristian Romero says Tottenham have ‘one of the best’ in the league who doesn’t get the credit he deserves right now
Romero is now one of Tottenham’s most important players and has excelled ever since coming to the club.
Under Ange Postecoglou and alongside Micky van de Ven, Romero seems to be in the form of his life.
Indeed, that partnership with £34m signing Van de Ven has been a major part of Tottenham’s success and it was clear the Dutchman was a big miss during the few months he was out injured.
And speaking about his defensive teammate, Romero has told Football.London that the Dutchman doesn’t get enough credit for his abilities.
Lauding his fellow centre-half, Romero had some kind words for Van de Ven ahead of the Everton game.
“In this moment, Micky is one of the best central defenders in the Premier League. But marketing plays a big part in how people see you here — that’s why he is not spoken about enough. He doesn’t get any publicity and is not built up at all. But he’s doing so well and we hope that he can continue. I am so happy for him. He’s young, hungry and wants to get to the next level. He has a great career ahead,” Romero said.
A top defensive partnership is key for any top team looking to win things and Romero and Van de Ven being fit and firing is vital for Tottenham.
We all saw the impact it had on the team when Van de Ven was out and that coincided with Romero also missing a few games as well.
Tottenham can make the top four this season and will deserve it as well. However, there’s no doubt that this duo will be crucial if they are to make that Champions League spot.
Tottenham fans must be delighted with their defence at the moment and with Porro and Udogie flying either side of this pair, the future looks bright for Spurs. READ MORE…..
Line Up: Everton v Spurs – Johnson starts
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has named his side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League fixture against Everton.
Postecoglou’s side make the trip to Goodison Park looking to keep their place in the top four of the Premier League table, having jumped ahead of Aston Villa following Wednesday’s 3-2 win against Brentford.
Everton have won just once in their past nine games in all competitions, while they are winless in five Premier League matches., however, the last four encounters between the sides at Goodison Park have ended level.
Postecoglou remains without the services of captain Heung-min Son and midfielder Yves Bissouma who are both on international duty, while Manor Solomon, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon remain sidelined through injury.
Tottenham head into the fixture with one day’s less rest than Everton and hopefully this won’t prove to be costly after the intense fixture at home to Brentford.
This is who takes to the field in this afternoon’s early kick-off in Merseyside.
Spurs XI: Vicario, Udogie, Porro, Romero(c), van de Ven, Johnson, Maddison, Werner, Bentancur, Højbjerg, Richarlison
