Marc Cucurella has emphasized the importance of making a final push as the Blues aim to secure their Champions League qualification for next season. His recent performance, including a crucial header against Manchester United, has contributed to a total of seven goals this season for the defender.
Cucurella credited the team’s training sessions at Cobham for their successful link-up plays, particularly with Reece James. He noted, “We work on this in training all the time. He knows he needs to put the ball there, and I know I need to arrive in that position. It’s a goal we are working on during the week.”
Reflecting on the match, Cucurella mentioned a challenging start but expressed satisfaction with the team’s resilience. “It’s true we suffered a little bit. We didn’t start the game well and we lost a bit of confidence, but we knew we needed to stay in the game and then we would have the chance to score a goal and win it.”
With critical fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Real Betis on the horizon, Cucurella is determined to maintain the team’s momentum. He stated, “It was a very important win. We have been working for this moment all season. Now we have two more games left. Everything depends on us. We need to push hard in the last weeks, give the last effort, and finish the season strong.”
The team’s positive attitude and clear focus on their goals provide hope for securing a successful end to the season, emphasizing teamwork and perseverance. This mindset could be crucial as they navigate these imperative matches that will shape their chances for silverware and Champions League participation.
