Chelsea winger Juan Mata not afraid of Manchester City
Juan Mata, the 23-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Manchester City, but did not fear them.
Mata said while speaking to reporters:
“As a player, you have respect for Barcelona but you never have fear. So, no, we do not have any fear of City, especially because we're playing at home.
We do have the ultimate respect for them because they're the league leaders but fear? Not at all.”
Since joining the Blues from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in the summer transfer window, Mata awaits his biggest challenge as yet; Manchester City. The Citizens are currently unbeaten in the Premier League and travel to Stamford Bridge as leaders of the League.
While Mata admitted to having respect for them, since they had more than proved themselves in the Premier League, he revealed he was not afraid of taking them on. This confession comes just a day before the Blues host the league leaders at the Bridge and
will undoubtedly give the team confidence going into the match.
Mata revealed:
It is very difficult that they (City) will win every game, as they are doing at the moment.
"So for us and the other teams, we just have to hope that they stop winning."
Chelsea are currently ten points behind Manchester City at fifth place and stand the chance of closing the gap with the leaders tonight. It is an opportunity the Blues will not want to let pass them by and will definitely go all guns blazing into the fixture
against City.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international has proved to be an essential part in Chelsea’s squad since arriving in the summer and his contribution will be crucial against Manchester City. The winger revealed the difference of playing in the La Liga as compared to the English
Premier League, less possession, passes and assists, with the game relatively faster.
He continued:
“We are allowed to play like we are in Spain, with more possession, more passes, more assists, and here everything is normally different to that.”
