Rio Ferdinand has been discussing Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella after his excellent Euro 2024 campaign.
The Chelsea Leftback helped Spain to win the European Championship on Sunday after his country beat England 2-1 in the final.
The Chelsea Man played six out of seven games for the Spanish team in the Euro 2024 championship, he wrapped up his excellent Champaign as he set up Mikel Oyarzabal’s winner late in the finals, which handed Luis de la Fuente’s men the trophy.
It was obviously an important attacking contribution, but it is Cucurella’s defending that has been outstanding in Germany.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Legend Rio Ferdinand has personally hailed Marc Cucurella’s performance as he sends crucial message to Chelsea new manager Enzo Maresca ahead of next season.
“Cucurella this year was ridiculed by his own supporters at Chelsea, comes here and is arguably the best left-back in the tournament.
“He was played to his strengths… and he’ll definitely play a huge role for Chelsea, come next season” Rio says….
The Chelsea Man made two tackles per game, the second-highest average in his squad.
He also made 1.3 interceptions per game, which only Alex Grimaldo could better. The Bayer Leverkusen man, however, only made two appearances.
Cucurella really did look like the complete full-back during the Euros and will be hoping to find his way into Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea team despite uncertain future.
