Cristian Romero has shown his true colours, much to the disgust of the Tottenham Hotspur fans.
Spurs need everyone on board on Sunday, everyone pulling in the right direction for what Roberto De Zerbi described as bigger than last year's Europa League final win.
And he's not wrong.
De Zerbi said: "Sunday is the final for Tottenham. Not Bilbao against Manchester United. The most important game is Sunday.
"Now we play for something more than a trophy. This is for the pride of the club and history. A trophy you can win and get one trophy more but this is more important. This is about dignity."
There are nine different scenarios for the final day of the Premier League
Tottenham are in a fight for their Premier League lives. Spurs have been a top flight club since 1978, a founding member of the Premier League, one of the so-called big six.
But if they lose to Everton on Sunday and West Ham beat Leeds United, the Lilywhites will be relegated to the Championship.
There are nine different scenarios for the two crucial matches on the final day of the season and only in one of them do Tottenham go down. It is in their hands to get out of the mess they have put themselves in.
The players are not wholly to blame. Big questions need to be asked in the close season of the powers that be behind the scenes and protests against the ownership are planned for after the final whistle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - regardless of the outcome.
But the players have to take responsibility at 4pm on Sunday and get the job done come what may.
Romero may be injured and unable to contribute, but the leader, the club captain, the man everyone in the squad looks to should be going through the pain with his teammates, kicking every ball, heading every ball, winning every tackle with them from the sidelines. But he won't.
Why not? Because he's out of the country, back in his homeland of Argentina, watching his boyhood club Belgrano in their final match of the season against River Plate.
It's a huge match for them, the Argentine Primera Division final. But the club he plays for now, the club that pays his wages, the club for whom he was handed the great honour of being club captain are also involved in a huge match with desperate consequences.
The fact he will not be in north London on Sunday is an absolute disgrace. De Zerbi said he "100%" understands the fans' frustrations that Romero will not be present for the game but also said that the Argentine has "been correct with me from when I started to now".
Romero tears were not for Tottenham Hotspur
When he went off injured in tears in that game with Sunderland that ended his season, I cynically felt the tears were selfish ones and not for Tottenham, that he was upset he might miss the World Cup. Turns out I was right.
If Romero cared about the club he would be here on Sunday. Everyone knows how important this game is.
There is a common consensus that he will leave this summer, a gentleman's agreement if you will that he will be allowed to go should an adequate offer come in. Something in the region of £50million to £60million should do it.
He is clearly a hugely talented player - a World Cup winner no less, but as everyone has seen, he can be a liability at times and selling for a good fee is the right move all round.
Spurs will go on without him and probably be better off. He has played his last game for the club, but he's not the only one.
De Zerbi needs a complete reset and refresh this summer and plenty more mist follow Romero out of the door.
Ben Davies and Yves Bissouma have already played this last games for the club, with their contracts ending this summer and neither likely to play any part on Sunday.
Guglielmo Vicario is another who has probably played his last game too. It would be a surprise to see him replace Antonin Kinsky for the final game of the season.
More players need to follow Romero out of the Tottenham exit door
Radu Dragusin needs to go, he's not up to par and will be replaced this summer, while Pape Matar Sarr should probably move on for his own sake too. It's also time for Richarlison to depart, hopefully after doing what he did so well at Sunday's opponents Everton in the past and scoring a goal to rescue Tottenham from the brink of humiliation.
Joao Palhinha has been hit and miss and while De Zerbi has admitted he wants to sign him permanently, I'm not so sure he's worth the money to be spent on him with the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall waiting in the wings. Don't get me started on fellow loanee Randal Kolo Muani...his time should have been up weeks ago.
Romero has to go. Thanks for everything you've done, but you've tarnished your reputation right at the death. And eight players need to follow him out of the door and never play for Spurs again.
