Tottenham Hotspur's captain made a shocking public criticism. Christian Romero (28), the current Tottenham captain who inherited the captain's armband of Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC), made remarks on social networking services (SNS).
British media 'The Guardian' reported on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) that "Romero criticized Tottenham's lack of players through SNS after the draw against Manchester City," adding, "This revealed dissatisfaction with the club's recruitment strategy shown in the January transfer market."
According to reports, Romero said on social media shortly after the 2-2 draw between Manchester City and the English Premier League (EPL), "The effort our teammates showed yesterday was incredible," but added, "I wanted to help the team even though I wasn't in good shape."
Romero then criticized, "It's hard to believe that there are only 11 players who can play for Tottenham, but it's true," adding, "This is a very shameful thing."
Tottenham captain Romero is also not in a normal condition. Romero started against Manchester City on the day, but was replaced at half-time due to poor condition.
Currently, Tottenham is struggling with a series of injuries to its main players. According to the 'Guardian', manager Thomas Frank had difficulty forming the squad as 11 players a week were injured ahead of the match against Manchester City.
Romero's determined remarks came shortly after the winter transfer market closed. Tottenham only acquired midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid and 19-year-old prospect left-back Souza (£13 million) from Santos in the transfer market. On the other hand, the power leak occurred when Brennan Johnson, who was the team's most scorer last season, was sold to Crystal Palace.
Tottenham captain's bombshell remarks are being spotlighted by multiple local media. "ESPN" also said on the same day, "Romero's remarks are a criticism of the club's complacent response."
Even the size of Tottenham's squad vacuum is getting bigger. In the new year alone, nine players have collapsed due to injuries, and the number of available players has reached its limit. Tottenham has only won two of its last 15 league games, and is on the verge of falling into the relegation zone.
The club's failure to recruit was also under fire. "ESPN" pointed out, "Tottenham attempted to recruit Andy Robertson (Liverpool) but failed, and lost to Manchester City in the bid to recruit Antoine Semeno (former Bournemouth)."
In addition, his colleagues responded to Romero's expression of dissatisfaction. Pedro Porro, James Maddison, Papemata Sarr, Dominic Solanke and Xavi Simmons also expressed support for the post by clicking Like.
This is not the first time Romero has publicly shot the club. Immediately after the 2-3 defeat against Bournemouth in January, he said, "In this situation, other people have to come out and speak, but no one comes forward as they have been for the past few years," adding, "They only show up and lie when things are good."
