Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, emphasizes the responsibility of managers to prioritize the safety of players after he made the decision to substitute Cristian Romero due to a head injury. Romero and Bryan Mbeumo collided heads in the opening minutes of the game. Despite initially being cleared to continue, Romero was subbed off after scoring the opening goal for Tottenham.
Postecoglou, in his Premier League debut, displayed his commitment to player safety by ensuring Romero’s substitution. Although hesitant to leave the pitch, the team could not take any risks. Davinson Sanchez replaced Romero in the match. Additionally, Postecoglou mentioned that due to a paperwork error, the substitution did not count as a concussion substitution.
James Maddison, Tottenham’s new number 10, showcased his skills by providing two assists on his debut, one of which resulted in Romero’s goal. Reflecting on the incident, Postecoglou emphasized the importance of protecting players and following medical advice. Despite the player’s desire to continue, it is the manager who ultimately makes the decision.
The match ended in a 2-2 draw, with Tottenham settling for a point. Romero watched the remainder of the match from the bench. He has recently been appointed as one of Tottenham’s vice-captains for the upcoming season. The game’s kickoff was delayed due to interrupted water supplies to the stadium.
