JAKARTA - Cristian Romero was one of four Premier League players who entered Brazil to play in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. However, the match lasted only six minutes before Brazilian health officials stopped him.

Romero's agent, Ciro Palermo, spoke to Gianlucadimarzio.com (via AS) about the incident that occurred last weekend. Palermo said Brazil could have easily avoided the incident if they had done so before the game.

"Honestly, I didn't think it would turn out like this. It seems like a parody, an unreal thing: seeing people who are not part of any of the teams enter the field to threaten to deport 4 players is a first for me," said Palermo.

"I've never seen anything like this before. Reason is questionable. The path was wrong at the time because they could have done it even before the game. It seems almost done on purpose. ”

“The Brazilian government didn't care about FIFA's opinion and decided that they should be quarantined for 14 days. I'm sorry because it looks like a theater and is seen by everyone," said Palermo.

"I don't know what will happen, but I don't think that they will face any sanctions: they managed to leave safely to return to Argentina on the same afternoon with the suspension of the match."

Lastly, Palermo discussed the fine that Romero might face upon his return to Tottenham, who reportedly did not give him the authority to leave the club and head to Argentina to compete in this World Cup Qualifier.

"I don't know if they can be sanctioned: they are players, I'm not saying that there should be a preferential attitude towards them because of the situation we've all been in in the last two years, but there are different protocols."
