Ovation and celebrations from champions of 78 in the return of Cuti Romero to Tottenham

in the aftermath of return to their clubs of the Qatar 2022 world champions, this Sunday was Cristian “Cuti” Romero’s turn with the Tottenham shirt. And the return was with an ovation and a photo with an Argentine champion in 1978.

Romero started in the Premier League match against Aston Villa where Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez was not in the starting eleven.

Before the match Tottenham presented Romero with a World Cup-winning plaque and as part of the celebrations was Osvaldo Ardiles, champion with Argentina in 1978 who wore the Spurs shirt for nearly a decade – was out about months during the Falklands War -.

Alongside Aston Villa and the other Argentine who lifted the Cup in Qatar, the Spanish coach Unai Emery had already announced that Dibu Martínez would be on the bench and that he had to evaluate his physical and mental level.

“I’ll talk to him because I want him to control his emotions. We must have values, we must be careful of our behavior when we are together and against the players of the opposing team”, he relaunched in line with his criticisms. of the celebrations of the world champion goalkeeper in Qatar.

For now, the away game is surprising, winning 1-0 with goals from another Argentine, Emiliano Buendía, who took advantage of a doubt and a rebound from Hugo Lloris, the second French goalkeeper in the world in the Middle East.
