The climate of harmony that the Argentine team breathed during most of Lionel Scaloni’s management was surely fundamental to winning the three titles that the team has won in recent years. However, during the 90 minutes that the matches last there are no spaces for friendships and Cristian Romero pointed this out to Alexis Mac Allister in a clash between the two for the 30th round of the Premier League.

The Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder was scrambling down the left lane as the clock approached half an hour into the first half as his side fell 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. He turned, guarded the ball with his body and the Dane Pierre-Emile Højbjerg passed the line of the ball to defend. Behind him came Cuti at full speed, who was able to take possession of him, but in action he took his fellow world champion with a hard tackle on the back of his left knee.
Mac Allister was left lying on the ground for several seconds, while Romero continued standing following the exit of his teammates and looking from the side at the recovery of his compatriot. He seemed to ask for the ball to be thrown out for attention, but without much impetus. Referee Stuart Attwell, who did not call a foul, allowed the action to continue and once the possession was over, Alexis was seen standing up, but throwing some insults into the air.

It was not the only particular action of the 24-year-old defender from Cordoba in the game. The Korean Son Heung-Min opened the scoring for the Spurs with a beautiful shot that hung in the corner of the goalkeeper Jason Steele. While the Asian, one of his great friends on the squad, went to the side to celebrate his goal, Romero stayed shouting the goal in the face of Englishman Lewis Dunk, who would score equality for Brighton after 34 minutes. .
Both Romero and Mac Allister completed the 90 minutes of the game that ended with a 2-1 victory for the local team after a definition by the scorer Harry Kane when the last leg of the game was played. The Brighton number 10 suffered another violent kick towards the end of the game, which made him react against two Tottenham footballers and again had a funny exchange of words with Romero, which towards the end was key to sustaining the victory.
