Embracing My Identity: Chelseas Cucurella Talks Hair and Happiness

The defender of English club Chelsea, **[Marc Cucurella](https://www.uefa.com)**, shared his thoughts on his hairstyle and his cheerful outlook on life.

«It all started in my childhood; my family appreciated it. My mother was happy that I had such hair. I’ve had this hairstyle as I grew up, and of course, as I got older, people began to recognize me and say, ‘Look at his hair.’ Now I see it as a part of my identity—my brand, a way to stand out from the crowd. I really enjoy it, so I hope I won’t run into any issues that would force me to cut my hair.

I like to joke and create a fun atmosphere for those around me. I believe this is beneficial for the team. Everyone knows I’m cheerful and full of energy. These traits help people appreciate me as a player. My teammates are happy to have me on board. It’s essential to be happy off the field, as that will reflect positively in your football performance,» Cucurella stated, according to UEFA’s official website.
