Argentine journalist gives insight regarding Tottenham defender Cristian Romero

High-profile Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, who knows several players in the Argentina national team personally, has made comments about Spurs and Cristian Romero on his Twitter account, tweeting the following in Spanish which has been roughly translated into the following.

Argentine journalist gives insight regarding Cristian Romero

"Tottenham lost to Arsenal again. It (they) does not end up consolidating itself to fight because it is not in the details: It (they) was the only Premier League club that brought back its players from their national teams on its own, and without its own logistics, as decided by its leaders. It gave it an advantage (to the opponent) because it's players arrived with less rest than the rest: Cuti Romero played with a feverish squad."

Native Spanish speakers have suggested that Edul is implying Spurs did not make travel arrangements for Romero, whilst other clubs with Latin American players do. It has already been well documented that the South American qualifiers were the last games of the international break, and Argentina's game against Colombia was not played until the late hours of Tuesday night (BST).

Whilst some have criticized the club for a lack of organisation and/or professionalism, many have pointed out that being a bit tired and jetlagged does not excuse for losing Gabriel at a corner, considering that isn't really a case of fatigue, but rather a lack of focus and game IQ.

The rest of Romero's game was fine enough, it was not as if Arsenal targeted him in behind and he could not catch up like he usually can because he was tired, so you can understand fans not being moved by this. Nevertheless, in principle - this could still be handled better by Spurs, who should be arranging travel for players on international duty - particularly with the amount of travel and time difference when it comes to South America.
