‘I would not have sacked Enzo Maresca’ – Marc Cucurella criticises Chelsea management, signings Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella has been blunt and honest about his opinions on the handling of the club while on Spain duty. The 27-year-old made the comments shortly before admitting that he has thought about returning to La Liga in the coming years. Cucurella admitted on Monday that he would struggle to turn down a return to Barcelona should the opportunity arise.
His comments follow on from fellow Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez dropping hints that he would be keen to live in Madrid , fueling speculation that he is keen to complete a move to Real Madrid. Cucurella: Chelsea signing policy lacks balance Speaking in an interview with The Athletic , conducted before his press conference, Cucurella revealed that he was not convinced by Chelsea’s policy of spending big on developing talents without bringing in any experienced players. “I understand this is part of the club’s policy, and that they want to take this direction – signing young players and looking to the future.
But, for all of us who are still here and want to win big things, moments like this make you feel discouraged. ” “We have a good core of players. The foundations are there.
But to fight for major trophies such as the Premier League or the Champions League, you need more. Signing young players only might complicate achieving those goals. Against PSG, we lacked players that had gone through situations like that.
You need time as well, and I know the young players are the ones that will have the experience in the future. But you need to find the balance between both worlds. ” ‘Chelsea should follow Arsenal example’ Continuing on to discuss the managerial situation at Stamford Bridge, Cucurella was positive about current manager Liam Rosenior, but explained that it was impossible for him to implement his methods at this stage of the season.
