May 27th at 03:00 on May 29, Betis will compete with Chelsea for the European League championship this season. Before the game, Blues defender Kukurelia was interviewed by UEFA's official website.

How did you feel when you first arrived in England?

"When you come to a new country, there are always some concerns, especially cultural and linguistic differences. But when I came to Brighton, everything went very smoothly. The football style here is different, the atmosphere on the court is very different, and every game is full. Fans will look forward to the game throughout the week. It was a wonderful experience, and I was very happy to play there.

"I was just a little bit of English, and only McAllister and Robert Sanchez could speak Spanish. Therefore, I had to study hard, strengthen communication with my teammates, and understand the coach's intentions - this helped me a lot. In addition, we have to take English classes. At first I was acting poorly, and I felt embarrassed when I was speaking English or making mistakes, but I kept practicing and they kept correcting me and teaching me, and in the end I learned very well. ”

You won the 2024 European Cup with the Spanish team

"This is my first trophy, and when you have this experience, you will want to win more victories, and this victory will inspire your desire for more honors. Obviously, this motivation and ambition will motivate ourselves, ‘We are champions, it’s not by chance, but because we deserve it. We played great and I helped the team. ’

"So, you will feel more confident, and this is very important in football. Personally, I have performed well this season and I hope we can finish the season with a high attitude."

Let's talk about this final

" For many of our teammates, this is their first final and the first European trophy that we may have won. This year we performed well, but we also encountered some difficulties. I think it would be a very good thing if we can bring the trophy back.

" Chelsea also has the opportunity to be the first club to win all European trophysical trophysicals, and it would be great if we could end the season in this way. After a lot of effort, we all hope to have good results. ”

Talk about your hairstyle

" Actually, I had this hairstyle when I was a kid because my family liked it, especially my mom. When I grew up, everyone recognized me by this hairstyle, and they said, ‘Look at his hair. ’ Now I feel like it has become a part of me and a sign that sets me apart. I certainly love my hairstyle and I hope there is no reason for forcing me to cut it off. ”

Talk about your attitude towards life

"I like to tell jokes and like to make the people around me happy. I think it's also very important for the team, and they all know that I'm always full of joy and vitality, which makes everyone like your performance as a player, so I'm very popular with my teammates. I’m also happy to contribute because I think maintaining a happy mindset off the court is crucial to perform well on the court. ”
