To avoid conflict, Tottenham paid for captain Romero s charter flight back to London this week

Hupu, October 14th, according to the latest report from the famous Daily Telegraph reporter Matt Law, Tottenham Hotspur captain Christian Romero returned home on a private charter flight after the Argentina national team game, avoiding the risk of a fierce conflict between the club and the national team over the matter.

Argentina will play Puerto Rico in a friendly match in Miami in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with Tottenham defender Romero and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez making the long journey back to England to face off against them in Sunday's Premier League match.

The national team will arrange flights for the players, but English clubs will often share the cost of private charter flights for those players (such as Romero and Martinez) whose journeys are particularly long or who return home later than their teammates (such as Romero and Martinez).

In September last year, after Argentina's defeat in Colombia's World Cup qualifiers caused controversy, Tottenham decided not to pay for Romero's charter flight back home.

Romero reposted a tweet on social media, criticizing Tottenham's travel plan, saying that Arsenal arranged for players to return from the national team in advance, resulting in the team being at a disadvantage in the North London derby.

Tottenham insists that taking a chartered flight back home last year would not do Romero any good because the team had a break on the Thursday before the game and Arsenal's Brazilian players had already returned to the training ground.

However, just as the club did at the end of the last international break in September this year, Tottenham also paid for Romero's charter flight home this time, which means the club cannot be accused of giving Villa an advantage before Sunday's game.

This transfer also means that Romero no longer has to worry about his travel schedule, because after signing a new contract with Tottenham in the summer, he became the team captain and the club's highest-paid player.

Romero started Tottenham's first game after returning from the last international break and led the team to a 3-0 victory over West Ham United. This time, the club once again arranged for the captain to return to England as soon as possible and strive to defeat Villa again.
