Cucurella admits he'd tattoo José Mourinho's face, see why | OneFootball

has already shown that he takes promises seriously. The left-back had guaranteed that he would get a tattoo of Luis de la Fuente if the Spanish national team won the World Cup and, after the Spanish side lifted the trophy, he kept his promise.

Now, in an interview with El Larguero on Cadena SER, the Real Madrid player was challenged to repeat the feat with José Mourinho if it meant winning the Champions League. The response was immediate: “No, don’t put me in that situation. Let’s take it slowly. I don’t know whether it’s good luck or bad luck, but I always end up keeping every promise I make. I don’t think Mourinho will mind.”

The Spanish full-back also spoke about his early days under the Portuguese coach and admitted he had been surprised by Mourinho’s personality on a day-to-day basis: “He surprised me. I knew him from seeing him on television. He’s a nice guy and so far he’s been in a good mood and very approachable. Hopefully we can be successful with him,” he explained.

Cucurella arrived at Real Madrid last summer from Chelsea in a deal worth more than €50 million, and he quickly became part of the new project led by Mourinho. Although the start of the season has not fully lived up to expectations, the Spain international remains calm. After seven rounds of La Liga and the derby against Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid sit fourth, six points behind leaders Barcelona.

The gap to the Catalans is already starting to look significant, especially considering Barcelona’s current form, but Cucurella prefers not to dramatize the situation: “If the season ends the way we all want, no one will remember this start, whether because we lost focus or lost two matches,” he concluded.
