"I have never felt the weight of being inactive," perennial club reserve Romero told Reuters in an interview. "I have shown I am worthy of playing in the Argentina national team," said the 1.92-metre Romero, affectionately nicknamed 'Chiquito' (little one), who relishes every call-up knowing he is more than likely to play. "I'm always keen to join up with the Argentina team to play, to stop shots, that's my goal and always has been since Diego (Maradona) gave me my debut." "But we, as Argentina, such a football-mad country and so sentimental, have to look inwards and not at other teams. We've got to do our work and if we do that well, the other teams will have to worry about Argentina."
