Cristian Romero has called for calm and insists there is no need to panic given Tottenham’s indifferent start to the new Premier League season.
The North Londoners won their opening three fixtures, but subsequently lost three London derbies at the hands of Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal. Having secured victories against Aston Villa and Newcastle either side of the international break, there was plenty of disappointment having lost 1-0 at West Ham last weekend.
Spurs find themselves in sixth place in the Premier League table heading into Saturday evening’s clash against Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The fixture has been labelled by some supporters on social media as ‘El Sackio‘ given the pressure on both managers to carve out a result.
Romero, who has started in each of Tottenham’s last three top flight matches has revealed that Nuno Espirito Santo is a calming influence in the dressing room with the defender looking to bounce back against United as he looks to fulfill his ambition of winning silverware with Spurs and representing them in the Champions League.
He told Sky Sports: “Of course, after every defeat you are left feeling bitter but we’re already looking ahead,” he continues. “The group remains strong and united in what we’re trying to achieve and we’re already focused on reacting to the setback.
“From my time working under Nuno, I’ve already learned he’s a very calm manager. He brings a lot of calmness to the dressing room given we’ve only had a short time working together as a group.
“There’s no real need to panic given we’re inside the top six positions in the league and it’s very tight from fourth place downwards. We’re focused on giving the best version of ourselves as we know with clear heads we can bring back a positive momentum.
“We’ll prepare for Manchester United in the best way possible in order to win in front of our supporters. I came here to compete for trophies and to compete in the Champions League and that is the level I feel we should all be aspiring to reach. In order to achieve this target, we have to remain united.”

Romero has already shown that he is going to be a brilliant signing for Tottenham given his all-around ability to be a no-nonsense defender, whilst also possessing the Toby Alderweireld-like ability to split a defence with a raking 60-yard pass.
