Cristian Romero, Tottenham defender, compliments the captain of the Pampas team.
Lionel Messi, who won the World Cup in Qatar with Argentina in December last year, considers his compatriot Cristian Romero, 25, from Tottenham, to be the best defender in the world today.
“I think that, at the moment, he is the best central defender in the world. He played very well and, in my opinion, was the man of the match. Having him back there is the best thing that could happen to me. He always obliges me to go forward, because he always wants to play one on one with the opponent. I’ve gotten used to not looking back and that’s very good for an offensive player”, highlighted the star of Inter Miami’s North Americans, speaking to “Telemundo”, in the early hours of last Friday, at the end of the challenge with Ecuador, qualifying for the 2026 World Championship, which ended with a victory for the “Pampas” team (1-0), precisely with a goal from the captain of the Albiceleste team, from a direct free kick.
Remember that Nicolás Otamendi, central defender and captain of Benfica, is one of Lionel Messi’s best friends and is also a great figure in Argentina.
