Cristian ‘Holiday’ Romero He was the figure of the Argentine National Team. Against Ecuador, in Chicago and in the run-up to the Copa América, he showed his usual firmness in defense but added a distinctive touch that catapulted him on social networks: he put together a great game to assist Ángel Di María, who scored the only goal of the match in Chicago.
It was difficult for Argentina to break Ecuador’s defensive scheme at Soldier Field until 39 minutes into the first half, The man from Cordoba dressed up as Messihe made a little step at the door of the area and assisted Di María, who hit him first with the tip of his left boot, like Romario, to put the Scaloneta’s 1-0 against the goalkeeper’s far post.
“I heard Fideo, he screamed at me. Luckily it ended in the winning goal, so I’m happy about that,” the Córdoba defender began. Then he continued: “I had just gone to press, I gave it to Ángel (Di María) and that’s why I passed. I stayed there after Rodri (By Paul) He gave me a nice pass and I just heard Fideo passing by. “so I left it to him, since it’s not my strong suit to hit him and even less so with my left foot, I left it to him and luckily it ended in a goal.”
In reference to his position and what it can generate when he goes on the attack without his sector of the field being covered, Cuti said: “Obviously, As a defender many times you have to save those plays because the team often ends up badly behind and surely they are good things but if they go wrong there would be a lot of responsibility on me.”
Scaloni also gave his opinion on Romero
The coach of the Argentine National Team did not miss the play that the former Belgrano de Córdoba made and at the press conference declared: “There are times when we tell him not to go to Cuti but he goes anyway. In that case I think he got the gene out of him, which he had from when he was at Atalanta.” In addition, he emphasized the enormous confidence that he has in himself.
“El Cuti and most of them have that pasture that sometimes you can’t cut it and, as in this case, it pays off for us on many occasions. Cuti not only decided to go but Rodrigo (By Paul) “He gives it as if it were a 9, it’s a feeling of great confidence.”analyzed the native of Pujato.
