"I remember when Cucurella went in at Chelsea. He was terrible, and everyone was like, Oh my god, it's the worst 60m we've ever spent.' Cucurella now you probably put him in one of the top five defenders, left backs, in the world. He's brilliant, so you've got to give players time. Cucurella has done well to turn things around for himself at Chelsea, and one imagines there'll be a few people out there who have changed their minds about the player."
"Still, CFC signed Jorrel Hato as another option at left-back this summer, and he's widely regarded as one of the most outstanding young talents in world football. It might not happen for Hato straight away, just as it didn't for Cucurella, but in the long run one imagines he'll be a serious contender for a starting spot at Stamford Bridge.

Marc Cucurella joined Chelsea from Brighton and initially struggled, attracting heavy criticism as an expensive signing. He responded by improving his form significantly and has cemented the left-back starting position through strong performances. Chelsea signed Jorrel Hato as an additional left-back option, and Hato is widely regarded as an outstanding young talent who could challenge for a starting role in the long term. The team benefits when players receive time to settle, and Cucurella’s turnaround illustrates how patience can enable a player to become a key contributor.
