Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who plays alongside Cristian Romero for the Argentina national team, has lauded his compatriot as the best centre-back in the world.
Fernandez’s comments come after Argentina’s recent victory over Ecuador in a World Cup qualifier match, where Romero put in yet an impressive performance.
An insane Lionel Messi free-kick in the 78th minute won the game for the World Cup winners.
Romero, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has become a key figure in the Argentina national team’s defense.
His consistent and solid displays at the back have earned him praise from teammates and fans alike.
Following Argentina’s victory over Ecuador, Romero took to Instagram to reflect on the importance of the win.
And his teammates were quick to comment on the post full of praises for the performance the defender put in with Enzo claiming he is the best centre-back in the world.
The 25-year-old centre-back was a vital part of Argentina’s successful World Cup campaign in Qatar, helping the national team secure the prestigious trophy.
While his performances for Tottenham during the previous season were occasionally inconsistent, Romero appears to have found his best form under the management of Ange Postecoglou.
Ever since been given the responsibility of a leader by the new manager, he has looked rock solid at the back, leading by example.
