La Masia to Real Madrid. He's cucu for Los Blancos- The Marc Cucurella thread

What, you mean Vini? Man, my post history is there you go and have a look what my opinion on him is and has always been for many years.

I don't care if someone is Spanish or not, even though as a Spanish club I do believe Real Madrid needs to have Spanish representation which actually is fair since Spain has proved to be creating many talented players. I'd say the same things for Greek, English, Brazilian clubs though.

 

Very true and fair

 

Being a labelled a $hit bag human being just because of unsportsmanlike in-game behaviour is an odd take. I’m happy he’s signed for the club on the overall balance of everything.

Confidence is great.... he will need to back all this talk up though. If he can't let's see how he holds up?

 

Becomes First Spaniard to achieve 2+ assists in a single World Cup knockout/elimination match.

 

Lmao ok. Maybe I can appreciate this guy. He's funny.

IMO he's good both on and off the ball and a fighter which is refreshing

 

“He’s not a good defender”

 

🚨🗣️ Claudia (Marc Cucurella's wife) on his signing for Real Madrid: "I'm very happy for him. He's happy and I am too."

"His representatives called us both over a video call to tell us the clubs had already arranged an agreement and it was a little surprising but good."

I have a feeling he will do his best “ole” when it comes to Yamal in his first Clasico. Country before club.

 

You have to go back to the ‘90s to find the last La Masia product to play for Madrid. So very surprising transfer in that regard, though perhaps not that much different than Marcos Alonso playing for Barca.

 

Credit where it's due. I never rated him very highly, but he's having a spectacular world cup. If he can play similarly for Real Madrid, then we have nothing to complain about. Keep up the good work, love the hustle!

 

Annoying AF but low-key one of the best performers in the WC and to his credit he faced some tough tests: Schmidt, Neto, Cancelo, Trossard, Dembele..these were either nullified and subbed out early in 2H or made to look like fools..

I don't like the player or the way he behaves after Spain win big games, especially after he the Euro 2024 that he started singing:
"Cucu, Cucurella, he eats paella. Cucu, Cucurella, he drinks Estrella. Haaland, you'd better tremble, because Cucurella is coming!"

Dude, just shut up. Norway weren't even at the Euros, and every time you faced Haaland in the Premier League, he owned you. In five meetings, Haaland scored four goals and registered an assist against Chelsea. To make it even better, in Chelsea's first Premier League game after the Euros, Haaland scored against them again.

That said, I have to give him credit. He's one of the top three left-backs in the world (I'd put him 2nd or 3rd), and he had an outstanding World Cup. Hell of a tournament.

⛔️ Number of timed Marc Cucurella has been dribbled past in the last 5 World Cup games:

🇫🇷 France: 0
🇧🇪 Belgium: 0
🇵🇹 Portugal: 0
🇦🇹 Austria: 0
🇺🇾 Uruguay: 0

Yup, I think the defensive capabilities are getting exaggerated due the way Spain's system is set up.

 

We'll see. But I see alot of Carvajal in him. Let's see if he is as successful for us as Dani was.

 

That's 4x4s scouting for you

He's not perfect. But he's nowhere near average at best.

 

Yeah Chelsea fans have been saying the same thing. He is abit suspect in defence but he is a warrior and someone you want in your team. We were begging for one legged Mendy just to avoid seeing Carreras. I am sure Cucurella will have his work cut out for him. He doesnt have to be the best offensive left back given Vini's style of play but he definitely has to be competent on the ball and that he is. We'll see how it works out but he is a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge, not because he is some defensive juggernaut but because his qualities outweighs his weaknesses.
