Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has praised Marc Cucurella as a “very important” member of the squad, expressing that he wishes to have “seven players” like him.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brighton, Maresca was asked about the defender’s performance this season.
The Chelsea boss emphasized that the 26-year-old not only excels individually but also enhances the performance of his teammates.”Marc [Cucurella] is very important,” Maresca told reporters on Friday.
“He has qualities that are sometimes hard to find in players.
He makes those around him better because he’s always talking and demanding more.
“Having five, six, or seven players like Marc, who are constantly pushing others to improve, is very valuable. I’m very happy with Marc.”
