Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has revealed that he learned a lot from former teammate Thiago Silva.
Despite a rocky start to their relationship, Cucurella told the Premier League, “Our relationship started very bad, but over time, I started enjoying playing with him, and he enjoyed playing with me.”
The Spaniard also named Mohamed Salah as his toughest opponent, citing the Liverpool forward’s ability to change the game with a single action.
“He [Salah] has everything, and one action can change the game, so I chose him,” Cucurella explained.
Cucurella has enjoyed a bright start to the season with Chelsea following a strong Euro 2024 campaign for Spain.
He is expected to feature in Chelsea’s upcoming match against Brighton.
