When Marc Cucurella left his future in the hands of his representative, ready to focus on the work of the Spanish team in the United States, his phone rang: “Hello, I’m José Mourinho.” The call was short. Enough for the Red side, European champion in Germany 2024, to. “He didn’t want to entertain me because he knows that I have to be focused here. He told me that he wanted to work with me. He gave me confidence. I want to start working with him,” Cucurella explained. And he highlighted what caught his attention the most in the conversation: “He remembered my actions when we played against Benfica. He told me about what he also transmitted as a teammate.”
