Spain team captain Mark Cucurella spoke with the UEFA press service ahead of the Euro 1/2 final match against France.

About the connection with Niko Williams “We have a great deal of connections. We practically don’t talk about football outside the fields. Niko, a non-turbocharged lad, and I, too, had the same personalities - it would have been impossible without our hustle. At the hour of the matches, I tell you, so that you can earn those that you deserve, because there are so many talents in the match with these top gravers, so that they feel at ease."

About the upcoming game against Mbappe “This is a good escape, so that we have not fought against all odds, and now we are playing one against one. Vіn one of these graves, as it would seem, would not take part in the combination, otherwise the greatest significance would be lost. It will be smooth, ale mi strong, the team will be gathered. If we combine them together, we can overcome France.

About equaling Puyol “Carles is a legend, and we have similar feelings that we always give all our strength for the sake of the team. He miraculously knew his strengths and weaknesses, and the team was always the most important for him. This is one of my specialties. For the sake of this, I will be equal to the fact that I was a great graver, who has gone up to history. I hope that I will have a similar career,” summed up Kukurelya.

Previously, the head of the UEFA Judicial Committee, Roberto Rosetti, was awarded an unrecognized penalty for handballing Cucurella.
