Juan Mata

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reiterated that Juan Mata is in his plans and hinted at a new role for him this season.

Speculation has linked Mata with a summer exit from Stamford Bridge but Mourinho has stressed that the Spaniard has a key role as the only left-footed player he feels is comfortable on the right.

"Of course he fits into my plans," Mourinho said. "I have my idea about him, about where he produces better and where he has more difficulty.

"We will try to help him perform better in those situations. I've always liked a right-sided player to be left-footed.

"I started with (Arjen) Robben and (Damien) Duff, then (Goran) Pandev at Inter, and (Angel) Di Maria and (Mesut) Ozil. Many clubs do it. It's more than a tendency.

"I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot. And Juan is the only player we have to do that on the right."

"I like wingers coming in on the inside for the penetrative movement, for the pass, for the shot. And Juan is the only player we have to do that on the right.

"On the left we have (Eden) Hazard, Victor Moses, Kevin De Bruyne, Andre Schurrle. Juan is also very comfortable playing as a No10. In between these two positions, he has a lot to give to the team."

Mourinho has often appeared more comfortable praising workmanlike players rather than star named such as Chelsea's player of the year and the Portuguese boss believes there is logic to this.

"I am not the kind of guy who makes life easy for the great players," he added. "This kind of player is the last I praise.

"You have to praise the guys who play to their limits, who give everything. They are not superstars. They are just good players trying to support their teams.

"Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the top players, the guys who win you matches and make the difference. But if they are great, they have to give more than the others.

"For me, to praise an ordinary player is easy. For me to praise a top player is not. When a player is different and has more potential than others, he has to use his talent in a good way."

The article is posted in the Mata thread, and I replied to it as well:

I hope Mata is ok playing RW for us. Several times he's mentioned how much he loves playing in that #10 role, especially after Rafa pushed him even higher up as a second striker almost. Now that Mou sounds like he will make him the first choice RW, it's def going to be a much more demanding position for him. He's not the sort to complain but you can also understand if he'll be grieved considering the monster of a season he had as the #10.

Regardless, this should be in the Mata thread.

If Juan is intelligent, he'll do what the coach will say at 100 %.José's main mission is to have a team, not individuals like the past season.I prefer 10 goals from Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Schurrle and De Bruyne, in the 2004 season every player had his moments, I hope we'll have the same experience, maybe at times he'll struggle but it would open the door for Schurrle or KDB to shine, less predictable our game will be !

You can't compare the 2004 team to today.

This team is highly creative. It needs of an attacking coach.

For 2004 team, Mourinho fitted perfectly because it was a well balanced drill machine.

And I have heard people say that Mourinho mess up Joe Cole. I don't know about that, but if anyone has an argument for this as to why I would like to hear it.

I know that Mikel was a very hot commodities back in his time. But then we turn him into a DM.....Concurrently Nigeria has said we mess him up.

This article states that "Magistrates gave him 3 points on his license." Anyone care to explain that??

UK licencing system has a points scheme whereby more serious offences are punished by the issuing of points - usually in multiples of three. Once somebody incurs a total of 12 points they either lose their licence or are issued a driving ban. Not sure which.

Haha, he has packed on a few kilos over the holidays. Too many sangrias and fajitas for Juan.

Fajitas is from Mexico, not from Spain. That might be Tortilla or Paella.

Are you like these Americans that believe that Spain is in South America? Oh my..

Fajitas are actually American, it's what is called Tex-Mex but whatever.

Well since I'm ignorant about Spain, Mexico and general geography like an American could you please tell me something about my own country that I'm unaware of?

Fajitas is not Tex-mex, and Tex stands from Texas and Mex from Mexico (oh).

I can make you a quick brief about your country. Do not go out, everything would kill you.

You just love assuming things and filling in the blanks, don't you?

In exploring the history of fajitas, several credible stories emerge, and all of them have roots in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

Texas

Invented by Mexicans in Texas. Tex-Mex. If that doesn't make it Tex-Mex in your eyes, you are either blind, poorly skilled in the English language (nobody can begrudge you due to that) or ignorant.

Now this is as off topic as it goes and I lack the ability to move this to another thread, so I'm ending my part right now.
