Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has sent a strong and pointed message to the club’s hierarchy following Spurs’ disappointing 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday night. The Argentine centre-back, who captained the side, spoke candidly after the loss, highlighting issues behind the scenes while also calling for unity during a difficult period.
Spurs suffered another frustrating setback as Bournemouth came from behind to secure all three points, piling further pressure on Ange Postecoglou’s side amid an inconsistent run of form. While Romero accepted responsibility on behalf of the players, his comments appeared to be directed beyond the dressing room.
“At times like this, it should be other people coming out to speak,” Romero said. “But they don’t – as has been happening for several years. They only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies.”
The words have sparked discussion among fans and pundits, with many interpreting them as criticism of the Tottenham board and senior management for their silence during tough moments. Romero’s comments underline growing frustration within the squad as Spurs struggle to find stability and consistency in results.
