Cristian Romero received the 61st and 62nd yellow cards of his club career on the weekend as he was sent off against Manchester City.
The Argentine smashed into Erling Haaland in the first half for his first booking, before blocking off Jack Grealish with a few minutes remaining and was shown red.
The 24-year-old has made a name for himself as a very aggressive defender and whilst this has helped him be such a great defender, his poor discipline has, on occasion, also let him down.
Stellini on Romero’s aggression: “This is something we can work on”
Cristian Stellini has revealed that Tottenham are working to improve the defender’s discipline.
The Italian coach acknowledged that his aggression is an important part of his game but he must work on the timing of his tackles.
Stellini said: “If you get a yellow it’s because you did not get the ball.
“You have to work on the timing. He has to jump and tackle and win the ball.
“This is something we can work on.
“We will work on this aspect but keeping the same aggressiveness.”
