The World Cup champion openly criticized the club's management

The internal situation of the Premier League giant continues to be turbulent following a disappointing result in the latest Premier League round.

The defeat at Vitality Stadium has plunged Tottenham deeper into a form crisis. Antoine Semenyo became Bournemouth's hero with a goal in the 5th minute of added time, securing all 3 points for the home team. For Spurs, this was their eighth loss since the start of the season, dropping them to 14th place in the Premier League standings, far from the European qualification spots. After the match, Cristian Romero could not hide his frustration. The Argentine defender posted a cryptic message on his personal Instagram, where he has over 5.1 million followers.

"I sincerely apologize to the fans who have supported us at every match, those who always stand behind the team. All players are responsible for this poor result. But we will also try to turn things around, both for ourselves and for the club. At times like this, others should step up and speak out, but they have not done so, which has been happening over the past few years. They only appear when things seem fine and then spread some lies. We will remain here, working together and giving our best to improve the club’s situation. Staying silent, working hard, and moving toward better things is what must be done. Together, everything will get better."- Romero wrote on his personal page.

This status quickly sparked intense debate among Tottenham fans. Notably, two of Romero’s teammates, Pedro Porro and Richarlison, publicly showed their support. Porro left an encouraging message, affirming that the team still has many battles ahead, while Richarlison expressed agreement with a praying emoji.

However, shortly after, Romero edited the post and removed the sensitive part about lying. Still, this move could not calm the rumors about simmering conflicts between players and Tottenham's upper management. Many supporters believe Romero’s statement accurately reflects the inconsistent management situation of the club in recent seasons.

Cristian Romero’s case might become a turning point in Tottenham’s turbulent season, as internal cracks become visible and fans’ trust continues to be tested.
