Marc Cucurella has made headlines not just for his impressive performances on the pitch but also for two intriguing promises he made in the lead-up to Spain’s World Cup victory. Following Spain’s triumphant win, the Real Madrid defender is now faced with the task of fulfilling at least one of these commitments, while the other leaves fans hoping for a change of heart.
The first promise is a light-hearted one: Cucurella vowed to get a tattoo of Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente’s face. In a post-match interview, he expressed his intention to find the perfect spot for the tattoo, saying, “I want it to be clearly visible! I’ll think about it during the flight back home.” This playful promise has sparked excitement among fans, many of whom are eager to see the design he ultimately chooses.
However, the second promise is more serious and has stirred concern among supporters. Earlier in the tournament, Cucurella declared that he would retire from international football if Spain secured the World Cup title. “After winning both a European Championship and a World Cup, I would call Luis and tell him he can’t count on me anymore,” he stated. This declaration has not been received well by fans, who are hoping he will reconsider and continue to contribute to the national team.
At just 25 years old, Cucurella has a bright future ahead of him, and fans are urging him to fulfill his tattoo promise while keeping his international career alive. With the World Cup victory fresh in the minds of supporters, the hope is that Cucurella will choose to don the Spain jersey for many more matches to come.
