The Paraguayan scored a brace against Londrina, overtook Yuri Alberto in the top scorer rankings and is close to becoming Timão’s top foreign scorer
Romero has had a frustrating return to Brazil after the friendly between Paraguay and Russia was canceled due to an attack that killed more than 100 people. However, his return ended on a positive note. After all, he scored two goals in Corinthians’ 3-0 victory over Londrina, this Wednesday (27), in a friendly match played in Cascavel, Paraná.
With the goals he has taken the place of Timão’s top scorer this season and is close to becoming the greatest foreign goalscorer in Juventus history. Romero hit seven balls into the net and beat Yuri Alberto, proving he still has the efficiency and ability to be Corinthians’ top scorer in 2024.
Furthermore, Romero reached 53 with the black and white shirt. He is only one behind Paolo Guerrero, who is the greatest foreign goalscorer in Corinthians history. Although he wore the number 11 shirt, the Paraguayan behaved more like a “9”, which pleased coach António Oliveira.
Romero doesn’t care about the competition
In addition to the two goals scored against Londrina, he scored two more against Cianorte, in the Copa do Brasil, playing more and more centrally. Despite the competition from Pedro Raul and Yuri Alberto, Romero is available to help in the best way possible.
“I’m happy to play. Today he asked to play as a 9, I’m available wherever he thinks it’s best to play. I’m starting to get to know this center forward role more, I haven’t played it many times, but now it’s time to adapt to the coach’s system”, said the striker, after the friendly match against Londrina.
