Cristian Romero was absolutely furious with 26-year-old Tottenham player vs Brighton yesterday
Cristian Romero was furious with his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Richarlison against Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
Spurs picked up a 2-1 win over the Seagulls thanks to second-half goals from Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson. But the first half was frustrating, to say the least, with Ange Postecoglou’s men struggling to stamp their authority on the game.
After falling behind in the 17th minute, Spurs began to press the issue towards the end of the first half.
Yet, Tottenham struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, barring one chance for Richarlison after he was set through on goal by James Maddison.
The Brazil star was denied by Jason Steele before another half-opportunity came his way later in the half. But his decision to take the shot on, rather than pass to Cristian Romero, left Tottenham’s vice-captain unimpressed.
Romero furious with Richarlison
In the , Romero pressed high up the pitch and won the ball back in a dangerous area for Spurs.
Maddison then took over and found Richarlison, who did brilliantly to turn Lewis Dunk and create some space for himself. But his effort was blocked by Jan Paul van Hecke and Romero felt the Brazil star took the wrong decision.
The Argentine had carried on his run into the box after winning the ball back and was in plenty of space for a simple finish. Yet, Richarlison opted to shoot which led to Romero screaming at the Spurs forward before punching the air in anger.
That moment summed up Richarlison’s afternoon as he struggled to find a clear opening in the game.
Of course, the 26-year-old headed into Saturday’s game in exceptional form after netting nine goals in his last eight Premier League games beforehand.
You can hardly blame the Brazilian for taking the shot on when you consider he’s in fine form in front of goal.
Despite a slightly below-par display in the final third, Richarlison once again put in a tremendous shift for Spurs yesterday.
The forward pressed relentlessly and caused Brighton’s defence plenty of problems on the day. And given the fact Spurs went on to win the game, we’re sure Romero will forget about that moment in the 40th minute soon enough.
