Atlético de Madrid and the Argentine national team have been involved in an unexpected conversation with the arrival of the figure of Cuti Romero, the Argentine center back who recently joined the club. In an exclusive interview on the LosEdul YouTube channel, the player not only spoke about his dream of winning titles with the blue and white, but also his vision on who deserves the number 10 in the Albiceleste.
Romero stated without hesitation that he considers Julián Álvarez the best player in the world today. When asked about Messi's possible successor, the Argentine forward responded with humor and sincerity, saying that the responsibility of wearing the number 10 is too heavy for one person. "I would give it to Julián, because I see him with humility, familiarity and a great character. He has all the qualities to carry the number," he explained, underlining the importance of personality in addition to talent.
The topic of the interview largely revolved around the “Albiceleste”. Cuti Romero highlighted the need for the national team's players to have the ability to carry the responsibility that the number 10 implies, and that, according to him, Julián Álvarez has that profile. In addition, he recalled that the team has many outstanding players, but that commitment and humility are essential for collective success.
Regarding his new stage at Atlético, the Argentine center-back expressed that his main objective is to win something with the club. “My dream is to leave my name written at Atlético, and the only way to achieve this is by winning titles,” he stated. Romero spoke about the feeling of having found a “new home” at the club, the importance of working with maximum effort and the influence of his new coach, Diego Pablo Simeone, who combines intensity in games with calmness on a daily basis.
Finally, the player shared a curious anecdote about his possible signing for Atlético: he mentioned that the Argentine defense teammate, Lisandro Martínez, would be his first choice if he had the opportunity to sign someone. With this statement, Cuti Romero concludes his interview with a message of motivation and determination, emphasizing that each match is a final and that the main objective is to lift a trophy with the club.
