Tottenham's Cristian Romero Vows to Give '200 Per Cent' in Final Seven Matches to Avoid Relegation
After a demoralising 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Tottenham's captain Cristian Romero has pledged to give his all in the club's remaining seven matches to stave off the threat of Premier League relegation.
Cristian Romero has issued a rallying cry to Tottenham supporters, promising to give "200 per cent" in the club's final seven matches to avoid a historic Premier League relegation. Following a demoralising 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, Spurs have slumped to 17th in the table. The captain has called for unity as the north London club faces its most significant survival test since 1977.Despite a raucous atmosphere in north London last weekend, Tottenham’s winless streak in the Premier League extended to 13 matches. The 3-0 loss to relegation rivals Nottingham Forest was a bitter pill to swallow, especially after a competitive first half where Richarlison went close and Forest’s Igor Jesus hit his own woodwork. However, a stoppage-time opener from Jesus followed by second-half strikes from Morgan Gibbs-White and Taiwo Awoniyi sparked a mass fan exodus from the stadium. This 10th home defeat of the campaign has left Igor Tudor’s side hovering dangerously above the drop zone.Tottenham captain Romero was visibly hurt by the performance and made it a priority to address the fans who have remained loyal despite a dismal season. Romero said: "It's a difficult day for everyone, but the first thing is to speak about the fans. Thank you for today and always staying with us. They gave us fantastic support, but about us, it's a bad day. Now it is finished and the most important thing is to understand the situation."It's not easy but the most important thing is to get to national team and back here for the last seven finals. I promise to put 200 per cent in every one and for me it is not easy, but we have to stay all together. It's a bad day yeah, but we will go again."The defeat to Forest has effectively wiped out the momentum gained from a spirited draw at Liverpool and a surprising 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Tottenham’s inability to secure a league win in 2026 has transformed a disappointing season into a genuine fight for survival. The club has not played outside the top flight since 1977, and the current 13-game winless run is one of the worst in their modern history. With the squad now dispersing for the international break, the hiatus offers a final chance for Tudor to reset a defensive unit that collapsed too easily under pressure in the second half against Forest.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingTottenham’s survival mission begins with a crucial trip to Sunderland and a home clash against Brighton before closing out April with a visit to Wolves.
