Cuti Romero was chosen to wear the Argentine national team's captain's armband. The decision comes at a time when Lionel Messi and Nico Otamendi are not available for the team.
Romero, who plays as a central defender, was chosen to lead the Argentine team. The absence of the two most experienced players in the group opened the way for him to take on this prominent role in the national team.
The situation happens in a context of changes in the team leadership. With the two traditional players out, the responsibility falls on the defender who now carries the responsibility on the field.
Romero's choice as captain represents a transition in the leadership of the Argentine team, which seeks to maintain its competitiveness even without its most internationally recognized players available for this match.
