If every Chelsea Fans were being
asked about Juan Mata, they would obviously explained countless pleasant things
about him, especially, both of his decisive corners kick in UCL Final 2012 and UEL
Final 2013 in the end of 90 minutes that brought Two Famous European trophies
in our cabinet in a row! It also made
him as Chelsea’s Player of The Year in two occasion in a row! Starting from
those moments, pretty sure that every Chelsea Fans thought that he would be
high as among our legend, like what has happened with Didier Drogba, John
Terry, Frank Lampard, and Petr Cech. And I thought, personally, he would become
far better when The Special One was coming back to Bridge.
But the things were going
differently. Mourinho prefers to use his prominent style once he arrived at
Chelsea for the second time. With 4-2-3-1 formation, he only needs “One Special
Playmaker” and come with two fast and tactital wingers who prefers to play
direct ball or run with the ball and sometimes perform cut inside. He didn’t want
to use two typical Playmakers for his game plan. Besides Mata, Chelsea still
has another figure as Playmaker, Oscar, talented player from South America. So,
Mourinho broke the infamous trios, Mata-Hazard-Oscar, and started to decide
whether Mata or Oscar as his special Playmaker.
At that time, Mourinho chose
Oscar over Mata because of injury problems. But Oscar continued to perform brilliantly from
time to time even after Juan Mata had comeback from his injury. By this condition,
Juan started to fall behind Oscar during Mourinho’s period and always occupied
Chelsea’s Bench since then. Through that period, I am pretty sure that every Chelsea
Fans had miserable feeling since Juan Mata started to fill Chelsea’s Bench regularly.
In one side, we want to see Juan on the pitch, in another side we also trust
with what Mourinho did with the team. Basically, as Chelsea Fans, we love Jose Mourinho
as well. He was the one who created Chelsea’s pillars so we can be recognized
as among the strongest club in Europe nowadays. And Mourinho also proved that
with his styles, current Chelsea is more stable compared with Chelsea in last
two seasons.
Afterwards, everyone started to
think what would going to happen with Juan Mata, by reckoning the countdown of
World Cup 2014 and tense competition inside Spanish National Team Squad. In the
meantime, media also blew up the issues that cause Mata’s situation became worse
than ever. As fans, It is so compassionate to see a quality player like Mata,
has to sit on the Bench REGULARLY. Personally, as Chelsea Fans, I’d like to see
Mata-Hazard-Oscar trio to comeback. The only way to make it come true is Mata
should try to adapt himself to become fast and tactical winger instead of being
Playmaker which has already booked by Oscar.
However, when the Winter Transfer
Window was started, the rumors and issues of Mata’s Departure became so intense
and thunderous. He has been connected to several European elite clubs like Man.
United, B. Munich, and Juventus. And when high-remarkable offer from United
came to lure Mata to land at Old Trafford, the thing was going to out of my
expectations. Mourinho just couldn’t cope with the truth that Unsettled Mata
wanted to leave shortly. And now, we just need to count the days until Mata
pass his medical test and will be unveiled in United’s Press Conferences.
As Chelsea Fans, it is really hard
to let him go to our rival, after everything he has done for the club. I think
this feeling is the same feeling that happened in Madridista when they realized
Ozil had to leave Bernabeu. But obviously, it might be the best for two sides
as well. It is the best way to appreciate what Mata has done for club and to
save the rest of his career. He will always be remembered in Chelsea history, and now,
we have to move on and rely on to The Special One and amazing squad that we have
today.
What Juan would do for United?
Everything! He is obviously the
one who needed by United, today!
This season is hard for United.
Since they have been left by their Legendary Manager, They seems couldn’t cope
with their new Manager yet, David Moyes. In this season, no one has
responsibility to dictate and to fashion United’s game style. They play hastily
and with no system at all!! And it even became worse when RvP and Rooney have to be
absent cause of injury.
With the signing of Mata, it
would be a great boost for them, like what happen with Arsenal once Ozil landed
at Emirates Stadium. With Mata’s natural ability as Playmaker, he is the right
answer for the lack of creator in United’s midfield. With his presence, Wayne
Rooney could be back in his natural position, striker, and they could perform
RvP-Roo Duo as United’s Frontman. In the midfield, he would have talented-youngster
companions like Januzaj and Welbeck.
Lastly, I’d suggest to Juan Mata
to take the Number 7 Legacy in United. We all know that Number 7 in United is
sacred. In many chances, Number 7 Holder in United is the one who has already become
a star, savior, influence player, decisive player, and everything for United’s
History. With everything that lied on Juan Mata, he really deserves to carry the sacred legacy that had already been on George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric
Cantona, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo before. He might be the missing savior that
United’s looking for during these recent years.
Thank you for everything and wish you all the best with United, Juan!
Humble greeting from Indonesia,
Adrian
