Wayne Rooney is right – he’s just watched one of the best in the world

Marc Cucurella as a left again, doing that job going up and down the flanks, overlapping the winger, however focusing totally on defending, offers me peak Ashley Cole vibes.

When Cucurella is on type and firing, there isn’t a greater general left again in world soccer proper now.

He’s essentially the most tenacious participant I’ve watched for some time. Cucurella has matured in these final two seasons. We don’t see the headless hen moments anymore, we don’t see the rash challenges, we don’t see the stepping in too early to win the ball and getting skinned. We see some of the stable defenders on the planet and an inconceivable full again to get previous. Simply ask Lamine Yamal…

Greatest left again efficiency in a very long time

Wayne Rooney was watching on final evening and was on punditry duties for our 3-0 win over Barcelona. And he says he’s witnessed the very best left again efficiency he’s seen in a very long time.

Rooney mentioned:

“Cucurella was completely unimaginable. I feel it’s most likely the very best efficiency I’ve seen from a left-back for a really very long time. To try this tonight, what he did, that reveals he’s a severe participant.”

And naturally, Rooney is bang on with this.

Cucurella deserves all of the plaudits he’s been getting. On a human degree as properly he simply looks like a very good man and a really humorous one too. He deserves the very best and I’m so happy he’s discovered and sustained common high type within the final two years.
