New Real Madrid signing, Marc Cucurella, has said he would have no problem doing the “dirty work” of defending for Vinicius Junior.
Cucurella completed a €55 million move from Chelsea to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Spaniard’s arrival is how he will link up with Vinicius Jr on the left side of the pitch.
Cucurella has now vowed to help keep the Brazilian fresh to do damage in attack.
He told Marca: “I think we’ll get along well. I don’t care if he doesn’t track back, I’ll do everything he doesn’t want to do.
“As long as he’s decisive and fresh enough to score goals, I’ll do the dirty work. Vinicius has shown that he’s a key and influential player in Real Madrid’s Champions League campaigns.”
