Cucurella Perfection – AS.com

Although Mark Cucurella finished the season as Chelsea’s starter, The Blues’ loss of status, their more peripheral role for the rest of the year and the good form of their direct Leverkusen rival Alejandro Grimaldo has led to doubts and even memes using his signature curls to surround the news of his call-up. at this European Championship in Germany.

After the final whistle of the match against ItalyAfter 180 minutes of unbeaten play and an outstanding performance against the Azzurra, memes became praise after praise, and a video of Jose Luis Mendilibar at a press conference during the period when coach and player coincided with Eibar appeared online. The skeptics of the Basque coach again had to agree with him. “He is neither fast nor strong… (…) “Cucurella is a footballer, he is smart and knows how to choose.”

assured the master champion of the Conference League with Olympiacos. Mendy came to explain about Cucurella what the New York Times never published about Lola Flores, and that he has his own way of relating to “It doesn’t sing or dance, but don’t miss it.”

It is impossible not to mention Cucurella in Gelsenkirchen. On a data level, the Catalan was flawless against the Azzurra. He completed 52 of the 53 passes he attempted, won ten duels, in which he played with tenacity and courage, and no opponent was able to beat him. He has also stolen the ball over 20 times (21) against Italy, the most by a defender in the last three tournaments. His work combines with that of Carvajal, who added another 21 rebounds in both matches and explains La Roja’s strong defensive play.

His curly hair seemed to multiply along the left wing of the Veltins Arena, and for Federico Chiesa it was torture.

If because of his hairstyle he is compared on social networks to supporting actor Bob, then it was Bart Simpson who was the Juventus striker, as he made him live in a nightmare, playing with all the fears of his son Enrico. Designed to become a star in Italy, this was completely negated by the team that grew up between Espanyol and Barcelona.

His magnificent match did not go unnoticed either by the spectators or by Luis de la Fuente, who, having asked about the defender’s performance, decided to praise him. “He played a great game. Cucurella knows what I ask of him and what he can give me, just like everyone else. “He’s a great player who performs and is competitive,” he said.

The defender turned doubts into confidence, and suspicions into flattery, and he no longer had “haters.” Celebrating the legacy of Joan Capdevilia, who was identified by the transalpine press as the weak point of the Spanish champion and who ultimately stood out in front of Azzurrithe left flank again became impregnable for Italy. In the match with Albania he can take a well-deserved rest, and, unless there is a surprise, the 1/8 finals await him.
