Juan Mata

[termninja 5,290]

Good to have him back. He had the u20 tournament last year before going a crazy season with us. Then he went to EURO and then to Olympics. Really needs a bit of rest.

[Funkyflashman 187]

I feel so sorry for him...

Oh wait.

Hahaha good point I'll shut up

[Funkyflashman 187]

Sorry misquoted ^ you're right. What I said I meant to put after "oh wait"

[karaclouds 47]

Do you think he'll back for the Super Cup game? Given how hectic his past season, from last summer to now, have been.

Oh - does anyone have a clip of the highlights of the game (Spain vs Honduras?)

[manpe 10,861]

Has anyone done the big international tripple? Winning the Champions League, World/European Cup and Olympics in the same year?

[diskoviolente 425]

he is getting some time off , right ?

i remember him saying that he is ready to play for chelsea straight after the olympics

hope he gets to take some time off. this guy has been playing so much football in the last year or so. he really should rest, otherwise he´ll burn out soon.

Is that the first time Mata really got pissed off in a game and especially at the referee??

[manpe 10,861]

It's funny how he's trying to be intimidating, looking up at the ref at close range Somewhy he reminds me of a little lion cub

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Hah, why do I love Juan so much? Im really pleased to see him winning trophies. Actually feel bad Spain are out of the Olympics now.

As far as I know, he would have been the first one ever. Think I read that somewhere, not 100% sure tho.

he surely looks intimidating with those funky beard! I'm not sure if anyone noticed that during the Japan vs Spain game he bullied some of the Japanese players by bumping them during dead ball.

[Severinb 309]

Wow he is playing sooo good for spain and romeu is doing fine!

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

for me idc what formation is laid out this coming season, at first it was great to debate and think about what rdm should use but now its just gotin annoyin and repeative.

some choses mikel-lampard forbpivot and thats deemed to offensive some else chooses rambo-mikel and that lacks offensive touch cuz rambobcant spread ball a schweinsteiger. soo frankly whatever rdm chooses for first week of season i dont care but ifbit fails then we could speculate.

as for where mata will be- someone cries cam, noo thatsbfor oscar he should play lw, nooo he's too weak. soo ima wait for rdm to choose.

tired of debatin same thing day nd night.

[Sheva. 5,373]

He had a good tournament. His finishing was not good enough, but was impressed with other aspects of his game.

Can't wait to have him back

Juan Mata

After a few days to switch off I'll be joining the team next Tuesday! I'm looking forward to start a new and exciting season!

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Tuesday? Damn, dude will get like no time off. I know we have a lot of people who can give him a breather now but he's still our best player imo. Gotta be careful though, hope he doesn't get injured.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

I've got so much respect and admiration for Juan Mata. He plays so much football, Winter and Summer, his attitude is exemplary and he is incredibly talented.

Same with Alba, he only gets 5 days rest even after playing a whole lot in the Euros and Olympics.
