Tottenham manager Thomas Frank put a lid on the high-profile incident involving team captain Cristian Romero. The Argentine defender publicly criticized the club's carelessness after the defeat of Spurs, calling out the bosses for nonsense and appearing in public only during the “good hour”.
With the imposition of harsh sanctions, Frank declared that the conflict was over. After discussions between the coach, sporting director Johan Lange and the driver himself, a decision was made not to impose financial penalties and not to reduce Romero’s captaincy status.
" We ran into each other. Johan and I talked to Kuti. The restaurant is closed,” Frank said at the press conference.
Thomas Frank emphasizes that the situation was completely controlled by internal dialogue. He explained his decision to the bajans to understand the motives of the gravel, and not just to punish him.
“We wanted to conduct a good discussion with him, understand his position and balance everything among the team,” the mentor added.
We can guess that in an emotional post (which was the result of editing) Romero called for “other people” to leave the club and say, instead of going behind the backs of the graves. This created a storm in the media, protottenham decided not to defuse the conflict, but to focus on the unity of the team.
