Cristian Romero is Argentina's most aggressive and commanding centre-back, a player whose intensity borders on reckless but whose reading of danger is sharp enough to make it work. He announced himself at Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini, winning Serie A Defender of the Year in 2021, before Tottenham made him their defensive cornerstone. At international level he is the first-choice partner to Lisandro Martínez, bringing a ball-carrying aggression that complements Martínez's composure. Romero's tendency to attract yellow cards is a genuine tournament risk, but Argentina's backline is measurably more vulnerable without him.
