The similarities the between David Villa and Juan Mata



Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard was pleased with the presence of Juan Manuel Mata in Chelsea. He considered the eye could deliver an enormous contribution as David Silva at Manchester City.

Mata arrived at Stamford Bridge in the transfer market this summer. He was carried off from Valencia at a cost of 23.5 million pounds.

So far, it can be directly tuned eye on the Blues. Of the five parties that he lakoni in all competitions, 23-year-old winger has recorded two goals and one assist.

"He certainly adds a wonderful dimension to our team. We have a very good unit, but nice to have someone with a creative ability that can offer something else," said Lampard told The People.

Incidentally, the Premier League there is another alumnus of Valencia, which is Silva who played in the City. Since joining The Citizens, Silva has indeed been transformed into a great playmaker that hard to replace. Lampard eyes sure can do the same with the Blues.

"Juan's a little like David Silva at Manchester City. He's got the same quality and it will make us grow. He will also continue to be better," he added.

"The reception that he can be in Valencia in the middle of this week's award shows that he can get, also shows what kind of player he is, and what kind of person he is. He will be important to us," said Lampard.

Juan Mata Narrowing WITH Manchester United



Manchester United started the season perfectly. Three completed the game with three impressive victories, which took them topping the Premier League.

While Chelsea continued to stalk behind United with a difference of two numbers, also with undefeated records, at least until last week.

With the two teams meet this weekend at Old Trafford, Chelsea have a chance to get past Manchester United. Juan Mata was optimistic about his team's chances.

"Of course, United have a better start, but I think we can cut the distance," said Juan Mata, Friday (16 / 9).

"We're just two numbers, which I think the difference in numbers is probably passed with ease."

"We've shown we can win with our Champions League game recently. Everything is still possible," he said.

Juan Mata scores on debut as Chelsea beat Norwich



Juan Mata scored on his Chelsea debut to complete a 3-1 victory over Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday after teammate Didier Drogba was knocked unconscious.



The new recruit from Valencia netted in the 11th minute of stoppage time, which resulted from Drogba requiring treatment on the pitch after being accidentally punched by Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy.

"He was completely unconscious," Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas told the BBC. "The doctor did a great job. He is showing progressive signs of recovery but we need a full exam which is being done."

Frank Lampard restored Chelsea's lead from the penalty spot after Grant Holt canceled out Jose Bosingwa's early opener.

Also Saturday, Franco Di Santo scored twice as Wigan beat Queens Park Rangers 2-0 and Mikel Arteta's penalty gave Everton a 1-0 win at Blackburn.

But there were scoreless draws between Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Swansea and Sunderland.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea got off to the perfect start when Bosingwa scored his first goal since November 2008.

Just six minutes had elapsed when the Portugal defender found the back of the net from 25 meters (yards) via the inside of the post.

Norwich, though, was back in the game in the 63rd after Chelsea goalkeeper Hilario needlessly came racing off his line to claim a cross and collided with Branislav Ivanovic, allowing Holt to hook the ball into the empty net.

It got worse for the hosts as they tried to regain the lead, with Drogba knocked unconscious after an aerial challenge with Ruddy.

Doctors raced onto the pitch to treat the 33-year-old striker, with the game stopped for seven minutes while he was loaded onto a stretcher and carried off wearing a breathing aid.

The game turned back in the Blues' favour when a breakaway by Chelsea brought a penalty scored by Lampard.

At Ewood Park, Blackburn had two attempts to net from the spot and missed both.

Junior Hoilett saw his penalty saved by Tim Howard at the start of the second half before Mauro Formica shot against the post.

Arteta then showed Blackburn how it was done, clinching Everton's win with a penalty kick after Christopher Samba climbed on the back of Marouane Fellaini.

Everton celebrated its first win of the season while Blackburn is stranded on zero points after three games.

Swansea has two points but is yet to score since being promoted, drawing against a Sunderland side also searching for its first win.

Juan Mata are always hungry for title





 Chelsea's new signing, Juan Manuel Mata, had become the target of Arsenal and Spurs in the transfer market this summer. However, the choice to join Chelsea and rejected offers from both clubs derby of the Blues was certainly based on a reason.



Based on daily reports in The Sun, Juan Mata expressed the reason to join Chelsea because he wanted to win the trophy.

"I want to come to England to win the trophy and that's why I accepted the offer Chelsea," said Mata.

"My reason is simply for the sake of sport, not money. Arsenal and Spurs also want me, but they are nothing compared to Chelsea. I want to win the Premier League and it is only possible at Chelsea," said Mata.

Mata also expressed the role of Fernando Torres, who was also his teammate on the Spanish national team, in making the decision to move to Chelsea.

"Fernando Torres did influence my decision, but speaks directly to the Villas Boas is the main factor."

"He (Villas Boas) explains how the style of play in a 4-3-3 formation and how I will become an important part in his plans."

"Frank Lampard is a monster of football that can become a partner and get a chance like that is incredible."

Mata also explains a bit about his choice in childhood that he would always prefer Chelsea blue, than red or white Arsenal Tottenham.

"Since I was a kid I was always a blue color," I Mata.
