Reluctant To Cut Hair Despite Being Grabbed By Cristian Romero, Marc Cucurella: No, This Is My Style!

JAKARTA - Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella insists on maintaining his long hair even though he is often the center of attention. He said that his hairstyle was his trademark.

Cucurella became a concern when he appeared to defend Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. At that time, Cucurella fell victim to the pranks of Spurs defender Cristian Romero.

Cucurella's hair was grabbed by Romero when there was a corner kick. Ironically, referee Anthony Taylor did not consider this a violation.

Regarding her long hair, Cucurella admitted that she was not bothered. He is even reluctant to cut it even though it often causes incidents on the field.

"No, this is my style!," said Cucurella, quoted from Marca, Friday.

Although Romero had grabbed his long hair, Cucurella did not consider it a fatal serious act. Cucurella was not hurt by Romero's actions.

"I don't have a problem with him (Romero), because it's just an action in the game. Maybe it's an important action because it can change the outcome of the game," Cucurella added.

Instead of discussing his hair, Cucurella instead highlighted the performance of referee Taylor and the staff on duty in the video assistant referee (VAR). According to Cucurella the referee had made a mistake by allowing the incident of physical contact to occur and did not consider it a foul.

"For me, it's a clear violation. I didn't see the video. But, I think the footage is clear evidence. Maybe, it was a mistake from the referee or VAR. Sometimes the referee makes bad decisions," Cucurella said.
