MATA: BIG TROPHY

Posted on: Wed 01 May 2013


On a personal level, it's been a season to remember for Juan Mata, and the
diminutive playmaker is now looking for the team as a whole to finish it
strongly, starting by booking a place in the Europa League final.


The Blues go into tomorrow's semi-final second leg against Basel with a
2-1 advantage from last week's game in Switzerland. How important David
Luiz's last-gasp free-kick will prove to be remains to be seen, but Mata
believes there is still work to be done.


'The goal by David Luiz was very important for us, scoring two goals away
from home is always good if you are playing in Europe,' he said. 'We know
we still have to fight to be in the final, we got a great result in
Switzerland but we still have to play another 90 minutes. They will fight
until the last second so it will be tough.


'They like to play with the ball, they have players with quality and they
showed in the second half [in the first leg] they are able to do it,
that's why I said it will be tough. They are at a level where they are
playing in the semi-final of the Europa League, if they are there it's
because they are good side.


'It's the kind of game that can be risky for us. If we don't go into it
thinking about winning and defending well it will be difficult. I think
the fans are going to support us from the first minute because without
them it's more difficult for us.'


Mata's first season in English football culminated with success in both
the Champions League and FA Cup, while the Spaniard also walked away with
the club's Player of the Year award.


If anything, his second season, in which he has scored 18 goals, has seen
an improvement in performances, so much so that the player who turned 25
last Sunday was nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award.


It's been a hectic season for everybody at the club, but for Mata, who was
on European Championship and London Olympic duty with Spain ahead of the
campaign, the demands have been even higher.


'I just try to be fit every week and every game because I like to play,'
he explained. 'Since I came here it's true I've played a lot of games, but
I really enjoy it. As a footballer, I want to play as many games as I can.
It's really good for me to have played the amount of games I have, the
only thing I want is to keep playing and carry on as I've been doing.


'For the team and the club it's very important to have a chance to be in
another European final. After winning the Champions League last season we
have another chance to win a trophy that will be new to us, so it means a
lot, for the club and the players.


'Since we were out from the group in the Champions League, every time I
watch the games I think it's a shame, but on the other hand I would rather
be positive and think we have a chance to win another trophy. To go out in
the group was a disappointment for the club and for us, but now we have
another chance to win a big trophy.'


Mata went on to praise the contribution of Rafael Benitez, as his fellow
countryman attempts to steer us to Europa League glory and a top four
finish in the Barclays Premier League.


'Rafa is a manager who had great seasons in every club he's been at,' said
Mata. 'Since he came he's tried to do his best, being with the team,
analysing our rivals and preparing us for every game. For me and the other
players, he is a great manager. We are now trying to be in third position,
which is our aim, and win a trophy. Hopefully the end of the season will
be good for us and for Rafa as well, and that will be because of his job.


'All I can say is that we are working well with Rafa. In training and in
games we are all together trying to do the best for Chelsea, because we
want the best for Chelsea. As a player, all I can do is try to perform to
my best, and that's what I'm trying to do. As a professional you have to
be able to to train, perform and win, no matter who the manager is. Since
I came I've had three managers, I really enjoyed myself with all of them,
now we are with Rafa and we have a chance to win a trophy with him.'


With the campaign's climax only a matter of weeks away, the Blues face a
balancing act in finishing the job in the Europa League as well as
ensuring we are competing in Europe's top competition next season.


Mata feels there is enough quality within the squad to achieve both
targets, and having already lifted two trophies since moving to Stamford
Bridge, is hungry for more.


'Once you are in a semi-final you need to make a small step to be in the
final,' he said. 'For me, our aim is to win this trophy and to be in the
Champions League next season. Chelsea are a club that deserve to be in the
Champions League every season; we are in third position, we have four
games to go, against the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham, and I
think we can do both.


'I would like to win the Premier League [in the future]. After winning the
Champions League and FA Cup I would like to win this amazing trophy. It's
a special competition, Chelsea have won it a few times in recent years, so
why not? I think we have the players and the squad, we just have to be
consistent throughout next season.'

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
