In the European League final on May 29, Chelsea defeated Real Betis 4-1 to the top. After the game, Blues defender Kukurelia was interviewed and shared her feelings about the game review, winning the championship, and her outlook for the future.

The key role of control and adjustment in the game** Kukurelia first reviewed the game process: "The direction of the game is always in our hands. When we successfully establish our own offense and defensive rhythm, we can continue to create opportunities to score. Although we omitted in some aspects in the first half, we corrected the mistakes in the second half in time - this is the moment to show the true face of the team. I think the performance of the whole team deserves this victory, and we proved our determination to win the championship with execution. " He particularly emphasized the importance of team adjustment ability: "Football is a dynamic game, and can quickly solve problems after halftime, reflecting the tactical insight of the coaching staff and the execution of the players. This ability of 'self-correcting' is the key to our journey to the finals.

2. The value and team spirit of substitutes** Speaking of the team's integrity, Cucurella praised the substitutes: "Those teammates who came on the bench had a strong sense of mission - they knew that this might be a meaningful night in their career, so they went all out every time they touched the ball and fought. This belief in 'fighting for the team' runs through the entire lineup, everyone is contributing to the same goal, whether it is a starter or a substitute. What we have to do now is to enjoy this collective glory.

3. Opponent evaluation and national team expectations For Betis player Isco, who performed well in the final, Cucurelia gave him a respect: "Isco is a phenomenal player. He is now experiencing the second spring of his career. Tonight we truly felt his dominance in the midfield. Being able to compete with him in the club and train with him side by side in the Spanish national team is a double honor for me. Working with such a high-level player will only inspire me to continuously improve myself.

{We completed this great championship with stable performance - strong qualifying in the group stage, adversity in the knockout stage, and comprehensive control of the finals. Every step confirms the resilience of this team. " Looking forward to the upcoming national team competition, he added: "The Spanish team will have the important task of the UEFA semi-finals next. It's a long season, but the most wonderful thing about football is that when you try your best, these moments of holding the trophy will eventually become the most precious gift in your career.
