Tottenham kept their top-four dreams alive on Wednesday evening with an important 2-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Asked about his defender in his post-match press conference following the victory at the Amex, Conte heaped praise on the 23-year-old and also outlined what he must do if he is to go up another level or two. The Spurs boss is clearly well aware of the fact that the ex-Atalanta man has all the attributes to become a “top defender”.
Antonio Conte said: “Cristian Romero is a good player, and he has to be focused in every moment of the game. If he is focused in every moment of the game, with the ball, without the ball, he is really good player with a lot of space for improvement. He played a really good game, like the other team-mates. For sure we are talking about a player, a young player, with a lot of space for improvement. He has to have the desire, the will, to continue to improve, and to ask himself much more. Because he has the possibility to become a top defender, but it depends on him. And on the manager to help him, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. But the most important thing is he has to improve.”
Our Spurs correspondents Alasdair Gold and Rob Guest discussed Romero’s performance and also dissected the vital win over Brighton in the latest episode of their Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast. They also spoke about Rodrigo Bentancur’s impressive showing at the Amex, why Davies deserves plenty of praise and a new contract for Oliver Skipp.
