"Asked about his captain this afternoon ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie at home to Aston Villa, Frank said: "I think after Cuti [Romero] became the captain he's done a lot of good things right. I said it when I named him the captain that even though he's an experienced player, he's still a young leader. And I think a lot of the things he's done well on and off the pitch I'm happy with.""
""I'm actually very happy with his performance last night, I think he was a true captain in many ways throughout the game. Speaking at half-time when we were 2-1 down, keep believing, keep doing the right things. But also when you're a young leader sometimes you make a mistake, of course it's good to keep it internal. [Technical director] Johan [Lange] and I had a good conversation with him this morning about everything, which we of course keep internal.""
"Frank insisted he and senior figures at the club, including Lange and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, are working closely to improve their current situation and denied suggestions Romero's outburst would put off potential January signings. He added: "I think, especially in football, the most important thing is to keep the noise out. Then you can see there's this situation with the post from Cuti.""
Cristian Romero posted a now-deleted Instagram message after Tottenham's 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth suggesting unnamed 'other people' should speak and that they 'only show up when things are going well, to tell a few lies.' The post added to a sense of malaise as Tottenham sit 14th in the Premier League. Thomas Frank praised Romero's on-field leadership, described the public post as a mistake, and confirmed a private conversation involving technical director Johan Lange. Club leaders are coordinating to improve results, emphasising internal resolution and shielding the team from external noise.
