Cucurella responded for his hand and remembered that Kroos should have been sent off

Marc Cucurella was one of the revelations of this Eurocup both on an individual level in Spain, and on a collective level in the tournament. So, the Chelsea player was chosen to explain the feeling of the locker room two days before playing against France for a place in the final on July 14 in Berlin.

“We are very excited and we notice that people are too. We want to continue winning because I think we will be remembered but we want to be more so.”

In addition, the full-back reviewed the controversial game in the quarterfinal duel between Spain and Germanywhen he stopped a shot with his hand inside the area and the referee understood it was not a penalty, reminding the angry host country that Toni Kroos should be “deposed.”

“He hit my hand, but I can see that the referee quickly said ‘no, no’. He did it quickly and I became calmer. If the referee experts say it’s not a handball, it’s not a handball and that is this.” is there,” he assured.

“I’m a player and I’m not involved in that, if the referees say it’s not handball, I still respect that, in the end they should be involved and decide. If they said, I understand that it’s not handball.” , he added.

The play generated a lot of controversy in Germany and Cucurella was understanding, but also responded by recalling Kroos’ brutal tackle that injured Pedri and was not punished even with a card, which would have led to him being sent off in the second half.

“I understand that this is a rather questionable action. We are tired of seeing hands that some call and others don’t. If Germany wins we don’t talk about it, these are the things that happen, this are decisions. We can complain that Kroos could have been given a card and he would have been sent off,” he said.

“Referees are human beings, they have to make very quick decisions and football is a game of mistakes and successes, we were more successful than them to advance to the next round,” he said.
