Manager refuses to criticise captain for outburst
‘Too much attention’ given to social media post
Thomas Frank has refused to criticise Cristian Romero after the defender’s social media attack on Tottenham’s owners, with the Argentina international remaining club captain.
The Spurs manager was on the defensive in his press conference before Saturday’s Premier League fixture at Manchester United. He would not give any steer as to the outcome of Romero’s outburst – the second in two months – only saying: “We have dealt with the matter internally.”
“Cuti is a very passionate player and captain who wants to leave everything on the pitch,” said Frank. “He is very ambitious and wants to win every single time. Sometimes, when you are like that, you can have an outburst like this time but we have dealt with it internally.”
