Cristian Romero sends painful message to Tottenham fans after Super Cup defeat
Cristian Romero admits that it was hard to lose the UEFA Super Cup final in the manner that Tottenham Hotspur did, but he made a promise to Spurs fans ahead of the new season.
While Spurs went into the final in Udine as massive underdogs, they will be wondering how they managed to lose that game, given the position they got themselves into.
For 85 minutes, the North London side managed to keep PSG at arm’s length and had a comfortable 2-0 lead going into the final five minutes of normal time.
However, the French giants fought their way with two quickfire goals to level the game, before emerging victorious on penalties.
Cristian Romero insists Tottenham are stronger for the experience
Romero was confirmed as the new Spurs captain the day before the final, and he led the side out at Bluenergy Stadium as he and his teammates delivered a heroic display.
The centre-back admitted that it hurts to throw away the game towards the end in the manner that Spurs did, but insisted that they will be stronger for this experience, and vowed that the team will fight to be back in stages as big as this one.
The Tottenham captain wrote: “It hurts to lose like this, no doubt, but it will make us stronger as a team. We’ll work and fight to relive these moments together. Thankful to all the fans for the incredible support on the road today. See you at home on Saturday, family @SpursOfficial.”
A lesson for Tottenham but plenty of positives to take
Before the game, Thomas Frank insisted that the Super Cup clash was only about winning, rather than a game he was looking to take any lessons from.
While that was the right attitude from the Dane, who tactically got the better of his opposite number, Luis Enrique, there is no doubt that he will take valuable lessons from that clash, now that the dust is settling.
One of those is the fact that he can count on these players to show tactical discipline and execute the game plan he envisions, even against the best sides in the world, which bodes well for Tottenham going into the new season.
