New Real Madrid signing Marc Cucurella has reassured Vinicius Junior that he is ready to handle the defensive responsibilities on the left flank.

Currently with Spain at the World Cup, Cucurella spoke about building a strong partnership with Vinicius, stressing the importance of maintaining balance without limiting the winger’s freedom. 

"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,” he told Marca.

“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."
