Styles 9,790 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I wish somebody would make a video of his assists this season. Would be interesting to see how many are from open play and the quality of chances he creates.I don't doubt he has an excellent final ball. To be fair to him he would have many more open play assists if we had Demba or any other striker for the first half of the season in place of Torres.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted April 26, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) There are a few different numbers of Mata's number of assist this season that have appeared. The one I have have in my record is he has 28 assists in all competitions this season and here's the breakdown of those assists categorized by open play and set pieces (since you fellas are so desperate for it! ):Note: The list of assists will begin with matches from the Premier League, then League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League and lastly Europa League.Open Play (18); He assisted:Terry vs Fulham(A) = WON 3-0Hazard vs West Ham(H) = WON 2-0Hazard vs Stoke(A) = WON 4-0Lampard vs Villa(H) = WON 8-0Sturridge vs Spurs(A) = WON 4-2Hazard vs Norwich(H) = WON 4-1Ivanovic vs Norwich(H) = WON 4-1Cole vs Stoke(H) = WON 1-0Moses vs Leeds(A) = WON 5-1Hazard vs Man United(A) = DREW 2-2Ba vs Man United(H) = WON 1-0Lampard vs Brentford(H) = WON 4-0Ba vs Southampton(A) = WON 5-1Ivanovic vs Southampton(A) = WON 5-1Oscar vs Nordsjaelland(H) = WON 6-1Moses vs Rubin Kazan(H) = WON 3-1Torres vs Rubin Kazan(H) = WON 3-1Torres vs Steaua Bucharest(H) = WON 3-1 (Some might have given this assist to Hazard instead for his backheel dummy but I don't think he touched the ball.

Spike 12,049 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Random question. Has Mata ever feel pissed off before? Like get really angry/furious till the point he wants to pick up a fight? He just seem so nice even with the Toure's incident last season!At the Olympic games he lost his shit for a few moments when Spain were getting fucked around by the offificials.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3159264/title/mata-direct-actionMata talking about free kicks.'David and Lamps, they are able to shoot from long distance well and I prefer to shoot closer to the edge of the box,' he says. 'And obviously they are right-footed and I am left-footed so we are different.'We three of us, we also have different contact with the ball. David kicks the ball really well with the instep. I try to do the same and Frank is able to do it with the top of the boot and get a strong shot.'With Mata a specialist from around the edge of the penalty area, he requires the ball to change trajectory more acutely than if further out. That's if he is not to miss the goal as well as the defenders in front of him. He explains his primary objective.'The first aim is to try to pass the wall and if the ball goes over it, it is then difficult for a goalkeeper because if it is close to the wall, he hasn't enough time to react.'Unlike some free-kick takers - Drogba for instance who developed his technique by studying the renowned one of Juninho, the Brazilian who played many years in the French league rather than the erstwhile Middlesbrough playmaker - Mata had no particular role model when learning this aspect of his trade.'I just tried to do it on my own,' he says. 'I train a lot, since I was a kid. I like to train with a wall, I like to train with a goalkeeper after the training and I really enjoy doing it.'And he also spoke about his birthday tomorrow.'Time flies, it feels like yesterday I was 20,' he smiles. 'I think the best gift for me will be a victory.' Jusek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So we haven't lost in a game where Mata has assisted? Interesting.We have actually only lost 1 match in all competitions since last season whenever Mata has assisted in a match. The record reads - W31 D6 L1.
