Chelsea fans got an unexpected piece of info this morning when Fabrizio Romano announced a contract update that the club didn’t want the public to know at all. The transfer insider wrote that Marc Cucurella had signed an improved deal months ago but Chelsea never made it public.
Cucurella’s Silent Contract Twist
Romano disclosed that in August, Cucurella consented to a revised contract. The team didn’t issue any official statement or provide any indication throughout the season. Romano emphasized that he alone was the journalist who had this information at that time.
After hearing this from Romano, the player himself performed excellently for Chelsea in their 3-0 victory against Barcelona. The Spanish player completely shut down Lamine Yamal and dominated his side of the pitch very clearly and confidently. His performance was both disciplined and impressively mature on-field.
Estevao Shines but Cucurella Steals Respect
Estevao set the stadium alight at Stamford Bridge with a brilliant solo goal and was a constant danger all night driving forward. The home fans were all but energized by it, and Yamal’s was unremarkable only in the sense that his was better.
But at the same time, Cucurella got a lot of respect due to his discipline and consistency. His correct positioning not only led to the shutting down of Barcelona’s attacking flow, but the Chelsea fans also applauded him for the whole match. It has been an amazing turnaround of his talent to Chelsea from which he improved over the last two seasons.
Author’s Opinion
Every single bit of recognition belongs to Cucurella for his revival. He put his spirit, his smart play and his loyalty to the supporters and as a result, he regained their trust. The improved contract is definitely right and his presence now makes Chelsea a stronger team both on and off the pitch.
