July 13 – Spanish defender Marc Cucurella recently gave an interview to Mundo Deportivo, where he addressed a number of topics regarding his upcoming final against England, and made a promise in case of victory.
【You played for Chelsea and know England well. Did the manager ask you for information?】
Cucurella: We talked today, exchanging some questions. But he (Luis de la Fuente) has Rodri, and he understands football better than I do. If he has doubts, we can offer different viewpoints.
【You are good friends with Palmer, have you been in touch recently?】
Cucurella: Yes, we talked, but it’s been a week now. We chatted a bit during the first rounds. For us, it’s better that he doesn’t play and sits on the bench.
【You said you’d dye your hair red if you won the tournament?】
Cucurella: It’s a commitment now. I have no other choice but to do it. If we win, I’ll have to do it.
【Neville said that Spain wouldn’t win if they didn’t fix the left-back problem】
Cucurella: We don’t need to go into that. It’s common in England, but they are all players, they have these experiences, and I don’t think it’s necessary to disrespect (other players) just to have a point of view or to make people recognize him or hear his name again. These things happen, and I think we have one last step to go, and I hope we can lift the trophy.
【The whistles against France】
Cucurella: At first I was surprised, because I didn’t understand, but then I saw a lot of people wearing white, and I understood why. But to spend that money, to get to the semi-finals of the European Championship, and then to whistle… they could have given that ticket to someone who actually liked the game.
