Cristian Romero has been named Tottenham's captain following Son Heung-min's departure. Thomas Frank believes Romero is fully committed to the team despite previous questions about his focus and previous transfer links to Atletico Madrid. Frank emphasizes that Romero has trained exceptionally well, showcasing great leadership qualities. He acknowledges that while Romero has room for improvement, his aggression and ability to energize the team are significant assets. The captaincy is seen as a reflection of Romero's potential to contribute positively to the team now and in the future.
I've worked with him closely for more than five weeks; I've seen a very, very committed player who's trained very well. The staff have said to me they've never seen him train that well.
I see a player that will want to lead the team and push the team. Yes, he said. But I think when you name a captain it's because you think he's the best that can help the team no matter what.
There is a big respect for him from the players. Off the pitch as well he also sets the standards. [...] as a leader I am 1,000% better now, so he also needs to learn and become better and better.
His aggression is phenomenal. He is fantastic in the duels. When he gives that to the team, he can transform the team and give energy to the team.
