There appears to be a bit of bromance brewing between Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, both of whom had high words of praise for the other following Tottenham’s win over Crystal Palace.
Romero and Van de Ven have swiftly forged a formidable partnership, with the duo complimenting each other quite well, given the Argentine’s aggression and physicality, and the Dutchman’s ability to sweep in behind with his electric pace.
Despite playing a high defensive line, Tottenham have conceded just nine goals in 10 Premier League matches so far, which is a testament to the pair’s quality.
It is not just defensively that they have made an impact but also with the ball, with Ange Postecoglou’s system reliant on the centre-backs to play out from the back.
In fact, according to Tottenham’s website, Romero created a record by completing the most passes by any Spurs player in a single game by making 141 passes at Selhurst Park.

Romero and Van de Ven are building a partnership
Van de Ven himself made 96 passes in the 2-1 win over Palace, with a whopping pass completion rate of 99 per cent.
The 22-year-old told Sky Sports (via BBC Sport) about his centre-back partner: “He is an amazing player. You can see that on the pitch. We feel each other on and off the pitch and it shows.”
When the former Wolfsburg man took to Instagram after the win on Friday, Romero commented: “Top player” along with a fire and a clap emoji.
Spurs Web Opinion
While it is obvious that the skill sets of Romero and Van de Ven complement each other quite well, it also appears as if the pair get along well off the pitch, which can only be a good thing for the burgeoning partnership.
