Chelsea left back Marc Cucurella has spoken out on signing THAT song about Erling Haaland after he helped Spain with the Euros this summer.
The whole chant goes: ‘Cucu, Cucurella, he eats paella, Cucu, Cucurella he drinks Estrella, Haaland you’d better tremble as Cucurella is coming’.
When asked about the song, Haaland said: ‘Well, Cucurella is a funny man. Last season he asked for my shirt… and this summer he sings a song about me.’
Cucurella singing that song
On the song, Cucurella said: ‘I am very happy and I think that if someone has a song sung with his name it is because he is a top player or a world star, the name of a player who is not known would not be used.
‘Everyone is happy because he scored and I am still just as happy to win the Euro. I would do it again, these things happen and that is all.
‘In the end, in England they took it a little out of context and I don’t think he [Haaland] understood it either.
‘He read what they said and took it a little personally.
‘Nowadays people take things very personally, but then they had some awards and my colleague [Cole] Palmer asked him about me and that was it. It was just an anecdote.’
The whole chant, which Cucurella repeated, goes: ‘Cucu, Cucurella, he eats paella, Cucu, Cucurella he drinks Estrella, Haaland you’d better tremble as Cucurella is coming’.
