Cucu: Enzo Congratulated Me, I Would Fully Welcome Him If He Joins Real Madrid

Cucurella, who joined the Spanish national team at the FIFA World Cup, gave an exclusive interview to "AS". The Spanish defender discussed topics including his move to Real Madrid, Florentino's advice, his conversation with Mourinho, the national team atmosphere, facing Yamal as a rival in El Clásico, and rumors of Enzo joining Real Madrid. Below is the second part of the interview.

Enzo Actually Congratulated You...

He congratulated me (laughs), we are very good friends, very close. If the rumors about him possibly joining Real Madrid are true, then as a friend, I wish him all the best, and if he wants to take that step, I would fully welcome it. I don't know anything about it, we'll just have to wait and see. Follow the news!

Do Barcelona Players Often Tease You? You're Fierce Rivals Now!

Rarely. We get along really well, we have a great team. Whatever is good for any player, for their future, is welcomed. They make some typical jokes about me, saying we're now rivals (laughs)... But it's fine, they're all very happy for me.

You've Faced Lamine Yamal in Training, and You Must Have Given Him Some Advice... Now It's Your Turn to Face Him as an Opponent in El Clásico.

These things always happen, I have to wish him all the best. Players like him are difficult to face, they always come up with unexpected tricks. I'll try my best, play a good game, and most importantly, the team wins.

Can You Be the Anti-Yamal? At Real Madrid, Will They Ask You to Be...?

Yes, football is a game, and for me, what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. I can argue with a teammate or have intense competition, but still maintain a good relationship. Or if I play against a friend, we can have dinner together without any pressure after the match. When we have to compete as opponents, I'll show my best side, defend my team, and protect my people. And in the national team, we'll continue to maintain our current relationship.

We Have to Ask You... Will You Convince Your Uncle to Support Real Madrid?

Sure, no problem. Everyone has their own opinion. I think he said that to... (pauses and smiles), not to become famous or make a joke, but he's a very important family member, and he never misses any match I play. He'll certainly continue to support Barcelona, but if he watches a Real Madrid match, he'll wish me well. I think... he'll want us to win. As a family member, it's not easy having a professional footballer in the family, a player who plays for Real Madrid and what it represents... that's something to be proud of. As for those comments, there's nothing to it. He said it, and that's all.

You Said You Were Scared the First Time Training with Messi. How Would You Feel Facing Him Again Now?

I would give everything against him. That's what I have to do. I hope we can play against Argentina, which means we've reached the final. He's one of the best players right now, and the level he shows is remarkable. In short, we'll do our best to play our game, make him uncomfortable, and prevent him from playing his football. Then we'll get the victory, that's what we all want.

Oyarzabal Asked Us to Believe in the National Team, Gavi Spoke to Us About de la Fuente, and Olmo Said It's Time to Win Our Second Star. What Kind of Headline Do You Want to Give Us?

Wow, the bar is set very high! Gosh, I don't know... So please believe in us, that's all. The years we've been through have been very difficult, and as supporters, we haven't felt the same sense of pride as now. That enthusiasm seemed to fade, as if people weren't enjoying it. We're now getting a bit of that feeling back. At the European Championship and until now, I've seen people supporting the national team more and more. People really want to support us. Everyone gathers to watch the matches, full of anticipation. Please continue to believe in us. We're very eager to make history and do something important. This is a long process. Maybe we didn't start in the best way or the way we wanted, but the team is very motivated, very confident, and we'll give everything to make everyone proud.
