Cristian Romero
28-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
Notches three interceptions
Romero generated one shot (zero on goal) in Friday's 3-2 victory versus Cape Verde.
ANALYSIS
Romero would not leave the field for Argentina as the defender helped them win the match, recording a clearance, two tackles and three clearances despite two goals allowed. He would see the second most touches in the match, only being bested by his fellow center-back, Lisandro Martinez. Romero should remain a starter throughout the tournament as long as he remains fit.
