Cucurella made the left-back spot his own at the Euros and provided the assist for Spain\u2019s winning goal in the final against England. He hasn\u2019t looked back.<\/p>\n
Now the Chelsea defender is gearing up for his maiden appearance on the global stage. As he exclusively told us before heading off to North America, it is a challenge he believes the Spaniards are well prepared for. <\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s my first World Cup and I can\u2019t wait to be there and enjoy this tournament,\u2019 says Cucurella in our interview, which you can watch in full below.<\/p>\n
\u2018The most important thing is to have a good group of people because at the end we share a lot of time together.<\/p>\n
\u2018If the group is really strong outside the pitch, then on the pitch it\u2019s much easier. All of us want to help, and all of us have the same intentions.<\/p>\n
\u2018Hopefully we can arrive, play our best football \u2013 and why not arrive to the last stages? We go step by step, and let\u2019s see what we can do.\u2019<\/p>\n
Hear more from Cucu in the full interview above!<\/p>\n
