Mata well aware of Chelsea's intense rivalry with Liverpool
By Ben Rumsby Press Association - PUBLISHED:15:29 GMT, 10 November 2012
Juan Mata has admitted he was given a rude awakening about Chelsea's
rivalry with Liverpool but was determined not to be caught cold in
tomorrow's clash at Stamford Bridge.
Mata could have been forgiven for underestimating the Reds following his
£23 million move to Stamford Bridge last summer, with the Anfield club
having been nowhere near challenging for the Barclays Premier League title
in the previous two years.
But the fierce rivalry that had existed between the clubs for the best
part of a decade ensured Liverpool consistently raised their game against
Chelsea. They duly won three of the sides' four meetings last season - the
only exception being the FA Cup final.
Mata played in Chelsea's home defeats in the league and Carling Cup and
was desperate to put that right in the kind of game he admitted they
needed to win to pose a serious title challenge.
'Playing against Liverpool is a tough game, as I realised last season when
we lost in the Carling Cup, in the league as well,' Mata told Absolute
Radio's Rock 'n' Roll Football. 'I think we have to be strong at home. We
are feeling really good playing in Stamford Bridge with our supporters,
with their support.
'It's going to be tough. But I think if we want to win this Premier
League, we have to be at the level in these kind of games, against massive
rivals.'
It would no exaggeration to say Chelsea's hopes of triumphing both
tomorrow and in the title race could depend on the performance of Mata,
who has arguably been the best player in the country this season.
Yesterday saw him rewarded with a recall to the Spain squad after he was
inexplicably omitted for their World Cup qualifiers last month.
Arguably not as outrageously gifted as his new partners in crime, Eden
Hazard and Oscar, Mata has managed nevertheless to be more effective than
both combined.
It is the 24-year-old's intelligence which arguably makes him stand apart
and it may be no coincidence that he has combined his football career with
degrees in physical education and marketing.
'I think, if you are playing football, the study can help you to think
quicker,' he said.
If there is one area Mata, Oscar and Hazard need to improve, it is helping
out a defence that has conceded a whopping 14 goals in the last six games.
He said: 'We're playing with freedom, Ed and Oscar and me, we all three
love to play with the ball, and our relationship with each other is very
good.
'But we know that, when we are defending, we have to be in those free
positions to defend. So, attacking, we play with freedom, but talking
about defence, we have to be very, very straight with the team.'
