Rooney: Kuku’s performance was incredible, Esteban’s performance today was perfect

Early this morning, in the fifth round of this season's UEFA Champions League, Chelsea defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home. Rooney, who participated in the broadcast of the game, praised Cucurella and Esteban's performance in today's game after the game.

Rooney said: "Esteban may have given Cucurella a chance to practice how to deal with Yamal in training. Cucurella's performance today was absolutely incredible. I think this is the best performance by a left-back that I have seen in a long, long time. Today Cucurella proved tonight that he is a very capable player. Generally speaking, if the opponent in training is very strong, it will make it much easier for you in the official game, so I think Cucurella’s outstanding performance tonight is inseparable from his full preparation in training.”

Regarding Esteban, Rooney said: "A night like this will bring him great confidence. Maresca's use of Esteban in the Premier League was very reasonable and cautious. The physical confrontation in the European arena is relatively less intense. Esteban's performance today was worthy His decision-making to advance with the ball, his choice of running without the ball, his breakthrough inside, one-touch passing, and his enthusiasm for running on the defensive end are all very good. If he can maintain his current form, the head coach will have no choice but to start him in every game."
