Cucurella on Vinicius: his form slump is understandable

Marc Cucurella, left-back for Real Madrid and Spain, spoke on Cope’s “El Partidazo” after the club’s eight straight wins. According to MARCA, he believes Madrid are currently the best team in Europe and points to the good run the squad is on.

Asked about Vinicius, he rejected the idea that Diomande helps more than the Brazilian: in his view, Diomande just gets more attention. He defended his teammate, who has played at a spectacular level for five years and is going through a bad spell, adding that he is still giving everything in training.

He also praised Arda Güler, who has surprised him the most, and said Mourinho is very close to the players. On the Clásico and Lamine he chose silence: he prefers to keep quiet and do his job.
