Controversy continues over Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC)'s replacement as Tottenham Hotspur. Christian Romero (28), who has poured out high-level criticism against the club's leadership, will maintain his position as Tottenham captain.

British media Daily Mail reported on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that "Romero will remain Tottenham's captain despite shooting at the top of the club for the second time in a month."

Recently, Romero criticized Tottenham's recruitment strategy through personal social networking services (SNS) shortly after the winter transfer market closed, calling it a "shame." After the 2-2 draw against Manchester City, he said, "Our teammates' efforts yesterday were great," but added, "It's hard to believe that there are only 11 players who can play for Tottenham."

Coach Frank responded to Romero's future, saying, "There are many aspects of leadership," adding, "I also make mistakes every week. Romero is 27 years old. As a leader, I will make mistakes in the future, but I am doing a lot of good things," he said.

Even the club remained silent on the captain's public sniping. According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham did not take any separate disciplinary action as it handled Romero's remarks internally.

Romero's remarks at the time came at a time when Tottenham suffered the worst power leakage. According to local media such as the "Guardian," Tottenham suffered nine injuries in the new year alone, and ahead of the match against Manchester City, 11 key players were left. Captain Romero also started despite his poor condition, but the team's situation was so poor that he was replaced at half-time.

The club's complacent handling of the transfer market also caused Romero to explode. Tottenham ended up signing midfielder Conor Gallagher and promising Souza this winter, but rather, its power weakened by selling Brennan Johnson, one of the team's most scorers, to Crystal Palace. "ESPN" analyzed, "Romero criticized the club's complacent response to Andy Robertson or Antoine Semeno's failure to recruit him."

This is not the first time Romero has acted like this. Even after the defeat against Bournemouth in January, he shot the leadership, saying, "There are people who only show up and tell lies when things are good." At that time, the post was revised and ended, but after a month, it exposed the conflict with the club by using the expression "disgraceful" again.

However, coach Frank still gave Romero's leadership confidence. The Daily Mail said, "Frank emphasized Romero is in the process of growing up as a leader. We will not consider intensive measures such as deprivation of claims," he added.
