Lionel Messi is well placed to talk about defenders, seeing as he has faced and humiliated so many of them during his career. And it is also legitimate to mention the specialists of this position. And, in his eyes, there is one right now who is above all the others.
Messi, “a good judge” of defenders
The defender in question is Cristian Romero, his teammate in the Argentine selection. Before a match with the Albiceleste, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner declared that the Tottenham member is quite simply “the best defender in the world at the moment”.
Ante Postecoglou, the coach of Tottenham, heard of the comments made by Messi about his player. He had fun by blurting out: “He said Romero was the best in the world? He’s a good judge! “.
Romero plays for Spurs, but he should not stay there for very long. The biggest clubs in the world are already starting to circle around him. The team that is most insistent is Bayern Munich according to transfer specialist Ekrem Konur.
