MATA "Chelsea to play attacking football. I will play big part"

Juan Mata was officially unveiled as a Chelsea player yesterday in a move believed to be around £25m. A fantastic signing for the club. We all have had our say on him and what he can bring to the team, but for now, he spoke about the reasons he signed for the club and what he believes he can bring to Chelsea. He said:

"Right from the first moment there have been good feelings all around me, Training has been great and the players are a great group to train with.

Andre Villas-Boas said he wanted Chelsea this season to play more attacking football, and that I would be a big part of that. Villas-Boas is someone who won almost everything last year and we are both here with the idea of winning lots this season.

The plan is that I can play on either flank or even in the middle playing in between the lines of midfield and attack. I like to keep the ball and use it well, I am an attacking player and above all I like to set up goals and score them also.

I want to adapt as quickly as possible to my new surroundings, my colleagues and this league, and I would love to win a trophy in my first season. If it can be the Premier League then great.

Now there is a key point he makes in his interview which is part of the reason I posted about Malouda earlier. Mata says that AVB has told him he "is a big part of his plans" and looking at the way Mata plays the game, we have to consider that he will start most games now.

He is quick, has great feet, and eye for a pass and an eye for a goal and will definitely bring a new dimension to our style of play. I said it before about Fernando Torres and playing to his strengths. Juan Mata will be a major part of Torres being a success here!.

I can't wait to see him play now! Let's hope it's on Saturday!
