With Christian Romero openly admitting that things are far from ideal for them in North London, Tottenham Hotspur head into the crucial phase of the season.
Spurs are hovering just above the relegation zone, and the pressure is building ahead of their clash with Sunderland on April 12.
At the same time, Roberto De Zerbi has just arrived as the club's third manager of the campaign, following the short-lived tenures of Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor.
That chaotic backdrop gives added significance to Romero's latest comments, broadcast here from Argentina hailWhere he addressed both his personal situation and Tottenham's wider struggles.
The defender first made it clear that this is not a comfortable moment for him:
"To be honest, I'm not really having the best time there. But beyond everything, I have to correct myself, I have to focus on the club now."
Nevertheless, he immediately shifted the focus back to responsibility, and stressed that the situation at Tottenham demands full commitment.
“I need to switch to the Tottenham mentality, try to get out of the bad situation we are in and, as I always do, give my all in every training session, every match, and try to move forward.”
There is a sense of duty in those words. As a captain, Romero is not distancing himself from the fight, even if his long-term future appears to be moving in a different direction.

Should relegation be inevitable, the Argentine defender is even more likely to be on his way out.
