Emi Martinez sends message to Tottenham star Cristian Romero’s
Argentina were the favourites coming into last night’s game versus Paraguay, and despite the fact that it wasn’t an easy game, they won.
Nicolás Otamendi’s third-minute shot proved to be the game-winner, and Lionel Scaloni’s players are overjoyed after winning all three World Cup qualifying games so far.
A number of players deserve credit for their efforts yesterday night, but Tottenham’s Cristian Romero deserves special note.
The 25-year-old was chastised at Spurs last season for his recklessness, but it appears that he has learned to control his aggression.
He was great again for Argentina against Paraguay yesterday night, and Emi Martinez, who, like Romero, hasn’t conceded a goal in over 600 minutes, appeared impressed.

Romero put in a strong performance, and he’s growing better with each game.
