Postecoglou: Romero 'scares people' in training and is a 'winner'

Ange Postecoglou offered a blunt assessment of Cristian Romero’s mindset, saying the centre-back “really scares people in practice.” He defended the Argentine’s aggressive approach and described him as a “winner” who drives a high-performance culture at Tottenham.

The intensity visible at Hotspur Way mirrors Romero’s on-field record. The World Cup winner has received eight yellow cards and two red cards this season, most recently a straight red in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United for a foul on Casemiro, which has resulted in a four-match ban.

Postecoglou said Romero’s no-nonsense style sometimes goes too far but is valuable. “I like him, man, and he does play aggressive, but he really scares people in practice,” he said. “Now, does he cross the line? Yeah, he does...the coaches say, ‘Oh, you know,’ I say, ‘Well, you guys tell him.
