Marc Cucurella He will never cut his hair. He would do a job to the Chelsea fans who, shortly after seeing the Catalan come up the sideline, sang his song to him: “Cucurella, cucurella, he eats paella, he drinks Estrella…” (eats paella, drinks Estrella (beer). And continues with “her hair is fucking huge…”. Chelsea paid 65 million euros for the partner of Nico Williams in the Spanish team, for the footballer who made it easy for the little Williams to sign a mega-crack game, the kind that leaves your termination clause of 56 million euros in pocket change because everything makes it different.
The Chelsea player’s motto is “intensity is non-negotiable”
But back to Cucu. He has a motto on the side: “intensity is non-negotiable.” And that maxim that accompanies the footballer every second of his life is signed by coach Luis de la Fuente and reinforced by choosing for his team players who not only impress with their quality and who are capable of making people fall in love with entertaining, controlled, full of details, they are also footballers who give up their lives, who sacrifice, who run, who pressure, who suffer, who fight, who excite.
Cucurella was born in El Masnou, as Ricky Rubio. He studied at Bergantí, the school that is right next to the pavilion where Ricky began to shine and at the age of 6 he went with his family to live in the next town, Alella. TO Cucurella He loved playing indoor soccer. The Teià summer tournament, in La Palma, is well known, now recovered, and from the street the Spanish where it coincided with Dani Olmo and where he always beat Barça. But the grandfather, very culé, was happy when he signed with the Barça team and was happy because he quickly became close to him. Carles Aleñà, with whom he shared a taxi from El Maresme to the Ciutat Esportiva. The idol of Cucurella is Ronaldinho, for the joy that the Brazilian spreads when he plays football. Ronnie is in Castelldefels right now, he watched the Spain game with his friends, and he applauded Cucurella. Because everyone wants to have a footballer of Cucu’s intensity on their team.
Seeing Nico and Lamine Yamal enter the field relaxed conveys absolute happiness
The Spain of joy and good football is already in the round of 16 as first in a group that was scary. Now it’s them, the laughing ones Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, the ones that are scary. Because seeing these two entering the field seconds before the game, laughing, relaxed, confident, transmits a happiness that is difficult to match.
Cucurella He doesn’t need to be the MVP of the game, he is happy if when the game ends he has fulfilled his maxim of putting intensity into his football. Very happy if his partner in the band is chosen as the best in Spain.
