Lionel Messi is in his final years with the Argentina national team jersey and it is unknown who will wear the captain’s armband in the future. However, Javier Zanetti is clear about it.
“There are several players who can be captains. Sometimes, a captain is without a ribbon because he is also recognized by his teammates. In today’s squad, I really like Cuti Romero because I think he is one of the best defenders that Argentine football has ever had, and today, for me, he is one of the best in world football.”
The Tottenham defender has become a pillar of the World Champion team and provides security in the defensive zone.
However, Romero will not be a starter in the upcoming match against Peru, as Lionel Scaloni intends to rotate the starting eleven for the quarter-finals.
Regarding how he sees the team, the Inter leader said: “I see it well, protagonist, wanting to continue making history. A great opportunity for this group to also do something unique, to have won a World Cup and the Copa América. And I hope it happens, because I think this group of players has been doing well for a long time and would deserve it.”
