Mark Kukurelya is planning a partnership with Vinicius Junior
Real Madrid continues to strengthen its squad. Zamin.uz reports on this.
Defender Marc Cucurella, transferred from Chelsea for 55 million euros, spoke about his plans at his new team and his on-field partnership with Vinicius Junior. The Spanish footballer is ready to take on all the defensive burden to increase the Brazilian star's effectiveness in attack.
Goal.com reports on this. According to Goal.com, Cucurella emphasized that Vinicius Junior's lack of tracking back in defense would not pose a problem for him.
In his opinion, the Brazilian footballer, who is the team's main attacking force, should focus all his attention on the opponent's goal. This will serve to further increase the Madrid club's attacking potential.
Regarding the distribution of tasks on the field, Cucurella said: I think we will understand each other well. It doesn't matter to me that he doesn't track back; I will do everything he doesn't want to do.
It is enough for Vinicius to be alert to score at the decisive moment; I am ready to do all the dirty work. These words were read in an interview given to Marca.
Currently participating in the 2026 World Cup with the Spanish national team, the defender feels that playing for a grand team like Real Madrid is a great responsibility. The royal club, which went trophy-less last season and lost the Spanish championship to Barcelona, cannot afford to make mistakes in the new season.
The team, which has returned under the management of Jose Mourinho, has added stars such as Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konate in addition to Cucurella. Furthermore, Inter defender Denzel Dumfries is also expected to move to Madrid soon.
Such a transfer campaign indicates the team's intention to return to the top after last season's failures. Cucurella admitted that wearing the Real Madrid jersey is not easy, as every opponent plays a life-and-death game against the Madridistas.
It is a great challenge. At Real Madrid, you must act with 100 percent strength in every game.
Every team wants to defeat you, says the Spanish footballer. For information, Marc Cucurella played four seasons at Chelsea, winning the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Now he is ready to demonstrate his experience and fighting character at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
