Cucurella: “It’s a privilege to be at the biggest club in Europe”

Cucurella completed his first training session as a Real Madrid player and, afterwards, shared his thoughts with Realmadrid TV: “I’m very happy. It’s been a long wait, but now I’m here. Today I trained with my teammates, met everyone, and I’m eager to gradually get to know everyone better and have a great year.”

“It’s an honor. I think not many people can say they’ve worn this jersey. We’ve seen great legends, it’s a club with a lot of history, the biggest in Europe. Being here today is a privilege, an honor, and above all, a reward for all the effort I’ve put into my career.”

His teammates
“Everything’s going great. I was really looking forward to meeting them. I’ve spoken with some teammates who had messaged me. The welcome has been fantastic. It’s been a tough and long day, but I’m already getting a feel for things and training gradually because soon the exciting part begins.”

Feelings with Mourinho
“A lot of confidence and naturalness. We have to do on the field what we know, and above all, enjoy ourselves. I think what we all want is to win and to have a great year.”

His personality
“Intensity, character, joy, a bit of everything. I’m a very hard-working person. With players of this talent, if we stay united and become a great team on and off the field, I think we can achieve great things.”

What it means to be at Real Madrid
“As a player, as a kid starting out playing football, having the opportunity to play for a club like this is very hard to turn down. When the opportunity came, I didn’t hesitate for a second. As a spectator, I’ve seen all those magical nights, those comebacks at the Bernabéu, all the Champions League titles they’ve lifted. Having the chance to experience it firsthand and be a part of it is a huge responsibility, but also a very beautiful and important challenge.”

Debut
“I’m looking forward to playing our first home match and meeting the fans. I’ve played at the Bernabéu as an away player, also a match with the national team, and experiencing it as a home player… Hearing the anthem, the fans as the bus arrives, which I’ve seen in some documentaries and is incredible during big matches. All of that is something very special and leaves memories that last forever.”

Message to the fans
“Hello madridistas, I’m finally here. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all. It’s been a great first day, and we hope to work hard so that this will be a great year and we can all enjoy it together.”
