Tottenham Hotspur: Romero backs Postecoglou after Chelsea defeat
Tottenham defender Christian Romero has backed Ange Postecoglou, with his manager insisting he will not change his approach following the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.
Spurs led 2-0 within 11 minutes but lost the game, with Cole Palmer scoring two penalties – both due to unnecessary fouls by Tottenham players.
Postkoglu’s side have won just one of their last seven games and lost four of them.
They are in the bottom half of the Premier League table, in 11th place after 15 games.
Postcoglu is the fifth coach (including interim coach) of Argentinian center back Romero since taking office in 2021.
The Australian manager has enjoyed success at most clubs he has played for, including Celtic, but Tottenham have not won a trophy since the 2008 Carabao Cup.
Romero told Telemundo: “He is a great coach. We saw that in the first season. In the second season we suffered a lot of injuries.
“The players are the first to be criticized and if we lose 10 games the staff can be changed but no one talks about what exactly happened.
“We’re very happy with the staff, myself and my colleagues. We like the way they work and the football they try to play. We’ll try to move forward quickly.”
Tottenham Hotspur, whose chairman has been Daniel Levy since 2001, made a strong start to last season under new boss Postkoglu but finished fifth.
