New Real Madrid defender Marc Cucurella has expressed his willingness to cover defensive responsibilities for Vinicius Junior in order to help the Brazilian remain effective in attack.
The Spanish full-back recently sealed a €55 million transfer from Chelsea to Real Madrid ahead of the new season.
Football fans have already turned attention to how Cucurella and Vinicius Jr will combine on the left flank at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Speaking about the partnership, Cucurella said he is prepared to support the Brazilian by focusing more on defensive tasks.
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.”
Cucurella’s arrival is expected to strengthen Real Madrid’s defence as the club prepares for another campaign in both domestic and European competitions.
