Maresca Explains Cucurella’s Red Card
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has shed light on the circumstances surrounding Marc Cucurella’s red card in their recent victory over Brentford. While Cucurella played a crucial role in the match, his indiscipline at the end of the game led to his dismissal.
The Spanish full-back was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Kevin Schade.
Maresca acknowledged that Cucurella’s behavior was unacceptable and that the team needs to learn from the incident. “I didn’t see the second yellow card,” Maresca said. “The referee said the second yellow card was for bad attitude. There are things we can do better.” Cucurella will now serve a one-match suspension, which could impact Chelsea’s upcoming fixtures.
