Tottenham Hotspur Football Club added another defeat in the Premier League and Argentine defender Cristian “Cuti” Romero published a message on his social networks in which he directly questioned the club’s leadership. The team fell 3 to 2 against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, in a match corresponding to matchday 21 and which marked the end of a negative streak for the local team.
The match began with an advantage for the Spurs. Xavi Simons assisted Mathys Tel, who scored the first goal after 4 minutesbut Bournemouth quickly equalized with a header from Evanilson after an assist from Marcus Tavernier. Before the break, the locals turned the score around with a goal from Eli Junior Kroupi, assisted by Marcos Senesi.
In the second half, João Palhinha tied the party with a Chileanalthough Bournemouth sealed the victory in injury time thanks to a shot from Antoine Semenyo. This victory meant the end of eleven games without a win for the team led by Andoni Iraola.
After the meeting, Cristian Cuti Romero used his official Instagram account to express his discomfort with the team’s situation and point out against the board.. “My apologies to all of your fans who follow us everywhere, who are always there and will continue to be. We are responsible, there is no doubt about that. I am the first. But we will continue to face it and try to change the situation, for ourselves and for the club,” the defender wrote.
In the same message, Romero remarked: “At times like this, there should be other people who come out to talk, but they don’t, as has been happening for several years. They only appear when things are going well, to tell some lies.”. The player concluded: “We will stay here, working, staying together and giving everything to change things. Especially in times like this, staying quiet, working harder and moving forward all together, is part of football. All together, it will be easier.”
Tottenham, which has several internationals in its squad, fails to consolidate a positive streak in the English league and faces internal questions after public self-criticism from one of its references. Meanwhile, the leadership remains without making official statements after the defeat.
The next day of the Premier League will present a new challenge for the London team, which will seek to reverse the sporting present and extinguish the growing discontent that is perceived among both the players and the fans. They will seek revenge this Saturday at home against West Ham United (from 12 noon, Argentina time).
