Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has ended the life of Spurs under Ange Postecoglou.
Speaking to Optus Sport, the Tottenham star also told how Spurs will approach their clash with Arsenal this weekend.
Tottenham are in fine form for Sunday’s Premier League trip to the Emirates Stadium for the north London derby.
“He just wants to win”
Postecoglou wasted no time in transforming Spurs into a strong, cohesive team again.
A few months into his mandate, things seem to be going well. Romero is also in good shape.
He helped Tottenham win four league titles, one draw and two clean sheets, also scoring two goals.
Postecoglou has entrusted the Argentina international with the responsibility of being one of the team’s vice-captains this season.
“He (Postecoglou) is a person whose ambition is clear,” Romero told Optus Sport.
“He just wants to win. From the first day he arrived here, he made it very clear. “I think the club needed a manager like this who fits perfectly with the history of the club.
“He’s a good man. All his coaches are good people who work for us 24 hours a day.
“And its objectives are clear. He wants to achieve things.
Romero turned his attention to Tottenham as a whole, saying: “This club has to compete in the top four. »
Asked if wins against Arsenal and Liverpool could spark talk of a possible title challenge, he said: “We’ll see.”
He then promised to treat the north London derby as a final in order to maintain the tone they wish to set.
Romero continued: “We treat every game like it’s a final. First we have Arsenal and we consider this a final.
“Not just because it’s a derby, but because that’s how we want to approach games this season.”
It’s amazing how quickly Postecoglou changed the game at Tottenham.
Likewise, it’s nice to see Romero in such good form. He was good last season too, but you could see his frustration boiling over at times.
Now that he has a more competent defense around him, it’s no surprise that Romero is playing better, too.
