ANGE POSTECOGLOU says he won't argue with Lionel Messi's claim that Tottenham's Cristiano Romero is the best defender in the world. <\/p>\n
The Spurs boss admitted the Argentine is so good even his team-mates hate training with him. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
World Cup winner Romero was praised by seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi for his performance in Argentina's 1-0 victory against Ecuador last week.<\/p>\n
Following the match he said about the Spurs star: "For me, he is the best defender in the world right now. <\/p>\n
"Amazing performance tonight, man of the match.\u201d<\/p>\n
This wasn't a surprise to Postecoglou who has been impressed with how the Argentine has grown in the Spurs squad since his move.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And the Aussie boss admits he will not oppose Messi as Romero continues to shine. <\/p>\n
He told TalkSPORT: "I wouldn\u2019t argue with Messi. I\u2019ll tell you what, I wouldn\u2019t like to play against Romero.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of the boys don\u2019t like to train against him. He\u2019s a real competitor and I love that about him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether it\u2019s training or a game, what you see is what you get with Romero.\u201d<\/p>\n
