Like a real movie star he entered Marc Cucurella to the set of The Revolt: ziplining with the setting of the La 1 program as the destination. That entry was just the prelude to the ‘show’ that the side of the spanish national team was about to give before the RTVE cameras.
The footballer left no puppet behind, and the first to fall was Pepe Reina, whom Maldini had recommended to Broncano as a guest. “Is he active?” the presenter asked. “I think so, in Italy. He is a half-goalkeeper, working out his final years to have more assets”Cucurella responded, unleashing laughter from the audience.
“The son of a bitch will be covered. And if he doesn’t retire…”continued the Chelsea player, who pointed out that the former Villarreal goalkeeper has five children. “I have three, we also have a lot of free time. I try to be a good father,” he acknowledged.
Speaking about his children, aged five, three and one, Cucurella explained that the two little ones are growing up in England, although the eldest was born in Getafe during his time at the azulón club. “I did it in the Basque Country to see if I could play for Athletic, but it went badly. timings“he pointed out.
“If they don’t find him a cousin, a grandmother… or things like that”joked the left back, who continued with the joke by pointing out that “maybe there is some rule” that says that the little boy could be an Athletic player in the future thanks to the fact that his parents conceived him in the Basque Country.
The time then came for the gifts: several special edition t-shirts with the colors of Spain for Cucurella. “Speak only when you have to say checkmate”read a phrase printed on one of them. A statement that reminded Broncano of Lamine Yamal and the ‘pique’ with Rabiot before the Euro Cup semi-finals between La Roja and France.
“I don’t think Lamine would have thought of a phrase like that, he’s a beast to play, but…”the footballer laughed, with a joking message for the Barça winger.
The good vibes in the selection
Cucurella also spoke about the good vibes in the Spanish team’s locker room, although he revealed that during the Euro Cup “we have had moments of crisis.” “Piques, many days together too. There was everything, tension, ping-pong games”explained the player, who wanted to make it clear how unique the group is.
“Much of the success we have had is because we are a good group.. It didn’t matter who played, we had a clear objective which was to win and it was done,” he commented, at the same time that he revealed that he has a gif on his mobile of the assist to Oyarzabal in the goal that gave Spain its fourth continental tournament. “When I’m sad I send it,” he joked.
The former Getafe player was not exempt from commenting one of the most controversial moments of the Euro Cuphis hand inside the area during the quarterfinal match against England: “I was really screwed. I went to the referee very quickly. He told me no. I was screwed because he had a bit of a mania for me. An Englishman I had had He owed me one. He checked it out and… play, play. I could have been the most hated person ever Spain”.
The left back also remembered the viral TikTok song with his name. “They don’t even greet me, they sing it to me now”he noted, while acknowledging that Haaland, the forward mentioned in the lyrics, “is difficult to defend.” “On top of that, we played the first game against him, he scored, we lost… it was tough,” he added. And he has revealed that one of the most difficult players for him to defend had been Dembélé.
Before leaving, Cucurella also answered the classic questions: “Between 10 and 20 assets”acknowledged the player, questioned by Broncano after pointing out that his salary is around five or six million per season.
“They told me that if I answer, there will be a drought next month.. Come on, I’ll answer, I’ll play it. I have three children, the in-laws at home, who are there helping us, well, bothering-helping, it depends on the day. Two weeks now with the national team. That’s media. I’m going to say, between seven and 10“said the Catalan regarding the question of sex.
