Playing style
Romero commands the centre-back role through anticipation rather than reaction, cutting out danger before it crystallizes. He's a ball-carrier of rare quality for his position, driving forward from deep to progress play and relieve pressure. Physical authority underpins everything—he wins his duels and dictates space through presence alone.
