Cucurella speaks on his form at Chelsea

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella in a recent statement spoke about his form at Chelsea where he admitted he experienced difficult months at the club and his Blues teammates knew it and were really helpful.

Cucurella, who moved to Chelsea from Brighton in a deal reportedly worth in excess of £60million, was tipped to impress at Stamford Bridge.

Ben Chilwell’s injury situation meant Cucurella was unable to get enough time to adapt.

Also being one of the more versatile defenders in the team, he had to play in a couple of different roles, which he struggled at.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter hinted he had to “shield” Cucurella as he was left out of three consecutive games in between the two legs against Dortmund.

“For me, maybe it’s not been the best months here,” the Spain international admitted in an interview with Chelsea TV.

“I try to work hard, keep working, and on Tuesday, I had the opportunity to play and I put everything on the pitch for the team and my teammates.

“They know the last weeks were not easy for me, but I need to work to prepare when my moment or I have the opportunity to play and be ready.

“My teammates help a lot and I think this [the Dortmund game] is a good win for everyone.”
