"Messi said that Cuti [Cristian] Romero is the best defender in the world? He is a great judge. Who am I to argue with the best in the world?" Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has told the media.
"Romero is an exceptional defender, someone you want on your team. Ridiculous bravery. The defence are having a great season, and a big part of that is because of Romero. Everyone else on the defensive line is in their first Premier League season, and to have a world cup winner alongside them is incredible. He makes them feel like they belong and can grow," he added.
Brilliant response from Ange who is known to be a really good-hearted man.
Leo Messi actually called Romero the best defender in the world after one of the latest Argentina games. Rumour has it Leo also wanted Barcelona to sign the centre-back when he was still at the club.
The 25-year-old was part of Argentina's World Cup-winning squad and played a massive role in their success.
