The Spanish national team player also told some anecdotes about what he did with his Chelsea teammates after winning the European Championship
Marc Cucurella was one of the stars of the Spanish team that won the European Championship in Germany this past summer.
One of the highlights of the tournament was when he touched the ball with his hand inside the area after a shot by Musiala in the quarter-finals against the hosts . Neither the English referee Anthony Taylor nor the VAR considered it a penalty.
“At Chelsea I had red hair for a couple of days just in case they didn’t remember.”
Now, a few months later, the Chelsea footballer explained on TVE ‘s ‘La Revuelta’ programme that “I was pissed off because the referee was English and he had a grudge against me. We had had a couple of arguments and I saw that he owed me one. I looked at him and he said ‘no’. So that was fine. I could have been the most hated person in all of Spain .”
Cucurella also explained that “they have now given us the replica of the title and I have sent it to
Chelsea ‘s training camp
,” adding that “I went with red hair for a couple of days just in case they didn’t remember.”
