Tottenham's defense, which Romero did not expect to make a mistake, had its line broken, and Stran Larsen scored. As soon as Tottenham scored a comeback goal, it was a fatal mistake, so the atmosphere was subdued, but Tottenham.
Romero can also make mistakes because he is a person. It was his attitude as vice-captain that Tottenham fans were angry with Romero. As Son Heung-min missed the game due to a foot injury, Romero wore the captain's armband and went on the field. Romero, who had to lead the team as vice-captain with James Maddison.
However, when the game was over, Romero went out to the tunnel without even looking at the Tottenham fans who came all the way to the away game and cheered for him.

Romero is expected to be increasingly hated by Tottenham fans. Romero is understood to be preparing to leave Tottenham at the end of this season. Atletico Madrid has already made Romero its top target. Atletico coach Diego Simeone and Romero have already talked over the phone about the transfer. That's how much Romero is serious about escaping Tottenham.
Because Tottenham is broken like this, Romero may also want a transfer. Still, he has to show his best for the team until the end, and Romero seems to be a player who plays roughly in recent games. Originally, he had a rough side, but he made few mistakes in defense, and he has always shown gritty performances, but he has not even been seen that recently.
