The most important and the better feeling in football, for me, is scoring a goal.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I feel privileged to play for Manchester United. It is something, when I'm old, I will always be proud of.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I am thrilled to be joining United. I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea, but the time has come for a new challenge.
Quote by -Juan Mata
It will be nice to play against Australia. It's a great country, and football is getting bigger and bigger.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Van Gaal is how you see him in the press conferences; he's like that with us, too. He's honest and straightforward. He believes in his style of training and way of preparing for games.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Football is losing its essence: people talk about celebrations instead of goals.
Quote by -Juan Mata
As a child, we would all go to a tiny village near Burgos, and we'd have typical Spanish parties in the summer. There would be a band and grandparents dancing all night dressed up as American Indians and things like that.
Quote by -Juan Mata
There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I just want to be playing! I love to play. But I think I can play in the three positions behind the striker.
Quote by -Juan Mata
It's amazing knowing that a club like Manchester United is interested in you. It's a good feeling.
Quote by -Juan Mata
You have to feel free enough to do what your body is telling you to do. Sometimes, though, the pressure of winning and the fear of defeat limit your performance.
Quote by -Juan Mata
My duty, what I have to do, is try my best in every training session, leave everything of me on the pitch. That's how I can go to bed at the end of the day and be happy with myself.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Like any footballer, I love to play. I love to feel important. I love to enjoy the game.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I will always be grateful to Chelsea, to the players, the directors, the owner, the fans.
Quote by -Juan Mata
There are some examples in my career when my family was more concerned than me. So every time I win or I score, I always think about them.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Football generates a lot of money, but there has to be a social responsibility that goes with that. It can positively affect people's lives.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Winning the World Cup is something that will always be inside your mind and inside your body.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I think every footballer, after 20 years playing football, the first thing that comes to your mind is to relax.
Quote by -Juan Mata
If I was 19, 20, 18, and I had the chance to play with first-team players of Manchester United, I will definitely try to take my chance.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I've been lucky to be born in Spain to a good family. But some team-mates reached the same position from a tough background. Football is equal, and it doesn't matter where you come from.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Through Common Goal, we're creating a collaborative way for football to give back to society.
Quote by -Juan Mata
In Spain, they show many Premier League games on TV, and it is an inspirational league. Maybe I would like to play in the Premier League.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I've scored as many goals for Manchester United in the Premier League as for Chelsea, but in something like 30 games less.
Quote by -Juan Mata
For a kid that just played for Oviedo, to then going to play for a team like Real Madrid, it felt fantastic. But being taken out of my family home and moving away alone, into the residence Madrid have for young players, it was a bit difficult. But as time passed, I got used to it.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I cannot control what people think. But I can control myself and my aim, and my head is focused on trying to win trophies.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I can tell you as a Manchester United player how big this club is and how you feel the repercussions of everything you do. It happens to everyone. It happened to me when I came.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Obviously, Spain is my home, and I have everything here - family, friends - but I'm very happy in England, with the way of life we have and with English football.
Quote by -Juan Mata
There's always pressure. People's happiness depends on you; they suffer with you. You get used to it, but you have to know how to handle it.
Quote by -Juan Mata
London is a very big city, Manchester is calmer. I live near the training ground, so I do things around there in the countryside, but I really like Manchester's Northern Quarter, where they have nice coffee shops and live music places.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I like the Common Goal initiative, the vision of football as a tool for social change and the power football has to improve the world.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Football sometimes has a bad reputation. Some of that is deserved... and some of it isn't.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I'm at the fantastic club that is Manchester United, one of the biggest in the world.
Quote by -Juan Mata
But I just try to do my best. I don't know if my game can influence the game of the team and how we play, but I just try to help with my football, for my team-mates and the club.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Football's incomparable to anything else - perhaps only music has that same power to transform society.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I always said I was very grateful for Chelsea. I spent an amazing time of my career there, we won a lot of trophies, and I think I became a better player. I have great friends in the club, and I always wish the best for them.
Quote by -Juan Mata
The only thing I think about is helping the team, respecting all my team-mates, not being selfish.
Quote by -Juan Mata
Obviously, replacing Sir Alex Ferguson was never going to be easy - not for him or for anyone. Although I was with him for only a few months, I'll always be grateful, as he played a key role in my move to United. He was the one who called me, who welcomed me, and the one who gave me the confidence to come here.
Quote by -Juan Mata
I consider myself as this kind of attacking midfielder, trying to find the gaps between the opposition midfielders and defenders and produce what the team needs between the lines.
