Lisandro Martinez - Tottenham star wowed by Cristian Romero as Argentina defeats Ecuador

Tottenham's Cristian Romero shines in Argentina's Copa America preparation, keeping clean sheets and earning praise from teammates. Pressure on Spurs to improve.

Tottenham Hotspur's Cristian Romero is gearing up for the Copa America in a spectacular fashion. The defending champions, Argentina, triumphed over Ecuador with a 1-0 victory in a friendly match held in Chicago, USA. Romero showcased his defensive prowess alongside Lisandro Martinez from Manchester United, ensuring a clean sheet for his team. Emiliano Martinez guarded the goal, supported by Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna in the backline.

Another Tottenham player, Giovani Lo Celso, also featured in the game, aiming to secure more playing time than he did under Ange Postecoglou this season. With only 492 minutes of game time, Lo Celso is eager to prove his true value this summer, especially with the opportunity to win the Copa America after missing out on the 2022 World Cup.

Romero's consistent performance for Argentina has been commendable, with three wins and two clean sheets this year. His solid defensive skills are expected to propel Argentina to success once again, as acknowledged by his teammates on Instagram. Messages from L. Martinez, Lo Celso, and Emi Martinez highlighted Romero's importance to the team.

The pressure is now on Romero and Tottenham Hotspur, as they are expected to elevate their game to the next level. Despite securing Europa League football, Spurs fell short of fourth place in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification. Fans will be looking to chairman Daniel Levy to make strategic moves in the summer transfer market to support Postecoglou and strengthen the team for the upcoming season.
