Udine, Italy – E don happen my people! Cristian Romero don collect the captain armband for Tottenham Hotspur after Son Heung-min don waka go Major League Soccer side, Los Angeles FC.
Wetin fit make person dey shine for this captain matter be say Son carry the armband for two solid years. This guy even help carry Europa League trophy come house as Spurs finally chop trophy after 17 years of waiting. But as Son don shaku shaku go America, new gaffer, Thomas Frank, don find new leader wey go fit hold the team strong.
Romero, wey don already catch eye as World Cup winner and two-time Copa América champ, been dey serve as vice-captain with James Maddison during the Ange Postecoglou reign. Him don dey shine during pre-season too, and now, na him go lead Spurs for their first official match against Paris Saint-Germain for the UEFA Super Cup.
“I get strong chat with Cuti Romero, and he go be our captain,” Frank yarn. “E show say him dey very honored and happy about am. Na big thing to lead this correct club for pitch, no be just for this Super Cup, but for the whole season.” (Frank no dey joke at all o!)
Romero don state say him dey ginger for this new season like say na him destiny. He talk say, “I arrive here four years ago with one dream: make I write my name for this club history. Now, new journey don open for us. Make we join hands to enjoy the joy wey dey come.” (Na positive vibes be this!)
This guy no just dey follow the pattern; him don lead for important matches like the Europa League final wey Spurs win 1-0. And e don get assurance say him no go chop bench this season, especially with the coaching staff wey Frank get on ground.
But make we clear something, Romero dey jest about wanting to play for La Liga before e come join Tottenham. Na wetin we dey call ‘play your card right’ as him don now turn captain. His leadership fit change the game plan as them dey prepare for heavy competition like Champions League.
As Frank dey plan to set up leadership group for the team, e don make am clear say na teamwork dey there. “I go need four to five leaders apart from captain self. Make everybody dey involved because na team we dey run, no be me alone.” (Na true talk be that, teamwork na wetin dey help win match pass).
All those rumors wey dey tell say Romero fit leave too don settle with this captain news. This new role na fresh chance for him to show sey na him be foundational player for Tottenham. E don collect 100 appearances for Premier League since him arrive from Atalanta, and as e dey shine, the fans sure say this season go dey fire!
Spurs fans dey look forward to see clear improvement as dem take on Burnley next week. For now, make we just raise our glass of palm wine to Romero and hope say e go lead them to more victory this season. Cheers!
