Inside Tottenham, Christian Romero seems to be satisfied with the decision to succeed Son Heung-min as captain.

Tottenham released an interview with Johan Lange, a technical director, on its official YouTube channel on the 6th (Korea time). Lange, the technical director, spoke with the newly recruited players about the changes made in the existing squad.

It was a summer for Tottenham, where stories about Son Heung-min are hard to miss. Son Heung-min made the decision to leave Tottenham on his own. Since he has been in charge of Tottenham for the past 10 years, how to replace Son Heung-min has become the most important task for Tottenham.




First, Lange, the technical director, "First and foremost, I was really happy for Son Heung-min. He was a club legend, and was given the hero's well-deserved farewell. I saw him play his last game in his home country. The scene where everyone celebrated him was fantastic. It was a special moment. Son Heung-min was a player who deserved it"I'm glad Son Heung-min left nicely."

One of the gaps created by Son Heung-min's departure is the captain's armband. As a captain for two years, Son Heung-min received a lot of love. In particular, teammates were very satisfied with captain Son Heung-min. Romero was selected as the player to fill the position.

Lange, Technical Director, "The team needs several leaders. You would have seen Romero play in the league and Europa League last season. He clearly showed that he is a leader by setting an example on the field. He has a strong personality and has played on the best stage in the world. It is a strong leader and a natural sense of argument. He is also a good captain to succeed Son Heung-min. Romero was well qualified for the captain's armband. I want to grow further as a captain`I believed Romero would be able to replace Son's captaincy well.

It is also true that there is no captaincy like Romero in the current Tottenham squad. James Madison was also vice-captain for two seasons, but he was out for the season due to a major injury this season, so it was not appropriate as a captain. Romero is also the best player in Tottenham in terms of skills.

Under coach Enze Postecoglou, Romero's rough play and hot-tempered appearance disappeared a lot after taking over as vice-captain. It was a change that Romero felt responsible as vice-captain. Seeing that change, Romero is now in a position to lead the team as captain. It hasn't been a lot of time, but so far, it's positive.

Romero even showed his satisfaction with Tottenham by signing a contract with Tottenham this summer. It was a win-win decision for each other, Tottenham, who caught Romero and Romero, whose salary rose as he became captain.
