Cucurella: I hope to win Georgia on Saturday so that I don’t have to suffer next week
6686 Sports November 13th Spanish defender Cucurella was interviewed at the national team training camp recently and talked about the Spanish team, the World Cup, Yamal and other topics.
The training camp is already filled with the atmosphere of the World Cup, right?
Indeed, we are only one step away from our goal. Although they have won all the qualifying rounds, if they do not perform well in the next two games against Georgia and Türkiye, everything may still fall short. The hope is to secure qualification in Georgia on Saturday and then return to Sevilla on Tuesday to celebrate in front of the home fans.
Türkiye is only 3 points behind the run, and the situation is still tense
Yes, even if we are almost perfect, qualifying is not certain yet. This just goes to show that football never gives anything away easily, you have to spell it out yourself. Fortunately, the initiative is in our hands. Hopefully, if we win the game on Saturday, we won’t have to suffer anymore on Tuesday.
Isn’t participating in the World Cup the biggest motivation?
All teammates who have participated in the World Cup said that it was an unparalleled experience. We have an opportunity this year and hope to seize it and start fighting for our dreams.
Talking about Yamal, who missed this training camp due to a pubic bone injury
"This is really not easy for him. In fact, many players, including some of my teammates, have experienced similar pubic bone problems. We will miss him very much - he is very important in the team. But the most important thing right now is to make him fully healthy, because next year will be a very special year. I think To Lamin: The most important thing is to enjoy football. Keep doing what you are doing and don't let the criticism. It's good to play like this. He has handled it very well and it's incredible for his age. As long as he stays focused and enjoys the game, there is no way he can stop him. "
Chelsea will play Barcelona in the Champions League. Have you talked about this matchup?
"I joked that I have already started to study how to deal with him in training (laughing). In fact, we didn't talk much, he just said that we will be opponents from now on. This will be an exciting game and a good test for us. Barcelona players are always unpredictable, and the game will definitely be difficult, but also full of charm."
