Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has come to the defence of defender Cristian Romero, whose recent social media post sparked outrage among fans. The Argentine centre-back had taken aim at his own club's hierarchy, accusing them of "telling lies" in a since-edited Instagram post.
In response to the backlash, Frank defended Romero, saying he had done a lot of things right and was a key part of the team. The Spurs boss acknowledged that Romero has been subjected to intense scrutiny on social media, but maintained that his player is committed to the club's values.
Frank's comments were seen as an attempt to shield Romero from further criticism, which had mounted after the Instagram post emerged. The defender's post, which was deleted shortly after it went live, suggested that he was frustrated with some of the decisions made by the club's hierarchy. However, Romero later clarified his comments, stating that he was simply expressing frustration and not making any personal attacks.
Frank's backing for Romero has been welcomed by fans, who have rallied around their defender in recent days. The Spurs manager's support is seen as a sign that he values his players' contributions to the team, even if they make mistakes or express themselves on social media.
Despite the controversy surrounding Romero's Instagram post, Frank remains confident in his player's abilities and commitment to Tottenham. As the team prepares for its upcoming matches, Frank will be looking to keep the focus on football rather than controversy.

... Like, I get that Romero was trying to express some frustration, but come on, social media != public meltdown 
. And then Spurs fans were all over him like a bad rash, and it's like, chill out guys, we're all humans here 
.
! I mean, the dude stepped in and defended his player, and I'm all about that 
. It shows that he values Romero as a person, not just as a defender 
. Plus, it's like, social media is just a tool, right? We shouldn't let it define who we are or how we react to stuff 
.
! Maybe Romero can focus on playing the game, and not worrying about what the internet thinks 
.
It's just that social media can blow things outta proportion so fast, and then everyone's got an opinion. I think it's cool that Franck is sticking up for his player and showing him some support – fans need to know that the manager has their backs... especially if they make a mistake or say something that ruffles some feathers 
. But at the same time, Roméro needs to be more careful about what he posts online – you never know who's watching! 
. Social media can make or break a career. 
Romero was just expressing himself, but it got blown out of proportion. 
What's next? Criticizing our own family members online? 
The fact that Romero later clarified his comments doesn't change the initial backlash, but at least we're getting a clearer picture of what really went down 
cristian romero is a talented player and we should be supporting him not tearing him down! he's human too, makes mistakes, expresses himself, and we need ppl like franck who understand that 
!
People need to remember that players are human too and they can make mistakes. 
Thankfully, Romero clarified what he meant & now everyone's rallying around him! 
It's great to see Spurs fans showing support for their defender, even when things get tough online. 
Still, gotta give credit to Frank for sticking up for his guy. It's not always easy being a manager, especially when your star player's making waves on social media 
. The important thing is that everyone's moving forward now and focusing on the pitch 
️. Still a little concerned about those Instagram posts, though... 
But then again, maybe Frank knows his player better than we do, and he's right to stick up for him 
.
I'm torn... 
frank knows what he's doing, roma knows what he's saying... lets just focus on those 3pts shall we? 
but glad thomas frank is defendin his guy tho 
. I mean, we've all been there with those awkward social media posts 
.
!
.
it's always tough when a player gets caught up in drama like this 
. And honestly, who hasn't made a social media mistake at some point? 
we're all human, right?
