Marc Cucurella has opened up about his time at Chelsea and how confident he is with the progress the club is making so far this campaign. The Blues invested heavily once again in the summer transfer window and brought some of the best players. Besides, they also started the season with a new manager in the form of Mauricio Pochettino. However, the impact was not instant, as the club needed time to develop a bond.
Lately though things are starting to look brighter for Chelsea, with the Blues getting a lot of positive results against the big sides in the Premier League. This has undoubtedly eased the tensions among the fanbase. In his second season at Stamford Bridge, Marc Cucurella is one of the players who have been an important part of the team’s progress this campaign. The left-back has opened up about new arrivals Robert Sanchez and Moises Caicedo. Having played alongside them at Brighton, Cucurella spoke about his delight to have them at Stamford Bridge and joked about a potential ‘Spanish mafia’ at the club.
“I am very happy they joined. I told them it’s an important club, they would feel very good here, that I am happy here, and that we would have a Spanish mafia! That we can speak as well with the manager in Spanish makes it easier to explain our mistakes or what we need to do on the pitch. We have a really good team, are very close inside and outside the pitch, and I think when these relationships are good then on the pitch we can play together,” Cucurella was quoted as saying on the club’s website.
The left-back then spoke about the pressure of playing at a big club like Chelsea. “When you come to a big club, for sure the pressure is there. When you go to a normal club, there is not this pressure. It’s different. You need to win but the objectives are different. Here at Chelsea, every week, every game, you have to win. Otherwise the team and fans aren’t happy. That is the big difference,” he explained.
He added: “We are creating good habits here, a good young team, and are starting to build something important. It’s not enough so far because we want to win every game but I think the way we are playing now is good. We need to keep producing our best performance and manage the small details, mistakes. Once we do this, we can win more games and the pressure is eased.”
Cucurella believes they can do good things this season if they continue playing the way they are right now. “He is a good manager. We know we are a good team and one of the important things is to have the team healthy, because we run a lot and press a lot. Now it’s about playing and getting confidence. The coaching staff like to be close with the players and speak with us, I think that is good for the team. We need to feel the confidence and I think he and his staff help a lot. We are in a good way and need to continue. There are a lot of games to finish the season and if we continue in this way, we can do good things this season,” he stated.
