“Too High!” – Marc Cucurella Mocks Caicedo’s 63 Shooting Rating in Latest FIFA Release
The release of the new edition of EA Sports FC (formerly known as FIFA) is always a much-anticipated moment in the world of football. This time, Chelsea’s young and vibrant squad was no exception to the excitement, gathering to celebrate and, of course, poke fun at each other’s ratings. One of the standout moments came when Marc Cucurella, known for his lively personality, took a playful jab at teammate Moises Caicedo’s shooting rating in the game.
As the Chelsea players unwrapped their copies of the newly rebranded game, the buzz in the room was palpable. Each player had their own thoughts about their in-game statistics, some proud and others not so much. But what stole the show was the interaction between Cucurella and Caicedo.
Amid the discussions, the Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo couldn’t help but glance at his stats, only to see a 63 rating for his shooting ability. The moment was ripe for some good-natured teasing, and Cucurella jumped right in, laughingly exclaiming, “63 shooting? Too high!”
Cucurella’s playful criticism sent waves of laughter across the room as the squad erupted into cheers and banter. While the Spaniard meant no harm, his comment brought out an underlying truth: Caicedo is known more for his defensive prowess and midfield dominance than his shooting abilities.
In fact, throughout his career, Caicedo has only netted a handful of goals, primarily focusing on breaking up play and distributing the ball efficiently. Cucurella, on the other hand, is equally comfortable joining in on the attack but is certainly not immune from similar scrutiny.
The fun didn’t stop there. Elsewhere in the room, Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto engaged in a light-hearted debate over who was the faster player. Both young speedsters boast impressive pace ratings, but as expected, neither was willing to concede to the other. Gusto jokingly called out Neto, claiming his pace rating was inflated, while Neto shot back that Gusto’s stats were “pure hype.”
Adding to the festive mood, new signing Cole Palmer became the subject of technical banter. Palmer, known for his intelligence both on and off the field, found himself fixated on which players were classified as “rare” in the game. “How am I not rare?” Palmer quipped, sparking a debate over the value placed on such distinctions within the game.
Amid all the jokes and camaraderie, the Chelsea players seemed to relish in the opportunity to connect through a video game that many of them grew up playing. FIFA, now EA Sports FC, has become a cultural touchstone for footballers, serving not only as a competitive outlet but also as a reflection of how they are perceived globally.
For fans, moments like these are priceless. It offers a glimpse into the personalities behind the athletes, showing that even elite professionals enjoy a good laugh at their own expense. As Cucurella’s lighthearted jab at Caicedo’s shooting suggests, no one is safe from the banter, no matter their status on the field.
And while Caicedo might not agree with his shooting rating, it’s safe to say his ability to control the midfield will keep Chelsea fans more than satisfied in real life.
