Speaking to Football. London, Micky van de Ven said:
“For me, Romero is world class. He won the World Cup but how you see him on the pitch, he’s a leader. He wants to take the team and he’s always 100%. Sometimes of course people see also he’s a bit too aggressive, but he’s a top class player on the ball and without the ball with his defending. I can promise you that this guy is not scared of anyone and he keeps going every game. From the start he was here helping me. He was there from day one, helping me. He spoke with me and he helped me with the system they play because I wasn’t here for pre-season. He helped me at the beginning and he’s just a world class player.”
