madristar Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Privileged Mata relishing life at the topPublished: Tuesday 4 January 2011, 12.11CETFrom FIFA World Cup joy to the UEFA European Under-21 Championship via the "privilege" of the UEFA Champions League, Valencia CF's Juan Mata looks back on 2010 and ahead to 2011.by Delfín Ramírezfrom MadridValencia CF's Juan Mata has many reasons for post-festive cheer. Speaking to UEFA.com, the 22-year-old recalls his FIFA World Cup joy with Spain, analyses the changes his club has undergone this season and looks forward to this summer's UEFA European Under-21 Championship.UEFA.com: Valencia are fourth in the Liga and have a UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against FC Schalke 04 to look forward to. How do you evaluate the season to date?Juan Mata: We would like to be higher up in the league, but there is a long way to go and we've made it to the Champions League places. Meanwhile, in Europe we're eagerly anticipating our tie in the next round.UEFA.com: How do you feel about playing in the last 16 of European football's premier club competition?Mata: At this stage of the tournament every team is in the top bracket, so we know what to expect. On an economic front, it's good news for the club, while in sporting terms the team really needed to return to the highest level after a few years away. We want to go as far as possible in this magnificent tournament.UEFA.com: What makes the Champions League so special? How do you feel when you play at stadiums like Old Trafford and Ibrox?Mata: For a player who plays in European competition, this is the highest level there is – you have the opportunity to play against historic teams from the best leagues. It's a real privilege to play in stadiums like those mentioned.UEFA.com: How have Valencia coped with the losses of David Villa and David Silva, as well as the more experienced Carlos Marchena and Rubén Baraja?Mata: Despite those losses we all knew at the beginning of the season that our objective remained the same: to qualify for the Champions League. There were some worrying moments in pre-season which made us wonder how we might start the campaign, especially with the loss of so many talented players. But, with the coach we have [unai Emery] and the good atmosphere in the dressing room, we have shown we are competitive and willing to fight.UEFA.com: The UEFA European Under-21 Championship takes place in Denmark this summer. How will Spain prepare for the tournament and what are the expectations?Mata: Our objective was to get there and that wasn't at all easy – right until the end there was uncertainty. In made it, though, and now we're desperate to realise the beautiful dream of making it to the Olympic Games.UEFA.com: Tell us about the World Cup?Mata: I was living through the biggest occasion a footballer can hope to enjoy. It got even better as we passed through each round and finally got to the final. It was a historic moment for the country and I was lucky enough to be directly involved. You can imagine the emotions when we won: so much happiness and pride.UEFA.com: Now attention turns to qualifying for UEFA EURO 2012. Is it possible to be more relaxed in these games?Mata: When you know you're World and European champions, you're expected to win and play in the style that has become synonymous with Spain in recent years. The blips we suffered in recent friendlies against Argentina and Portugal are no cause for alarm: you can be sure we'll be a different proposition in the competitive games.UEFA.com: Finally, what will you take with you from 2010 and what are you looking forward to this year?Mata: Without doubt my best memory is that of going to, and winning, the World Cup. In 2011, as at the beginning of every year, I only ask the same thing: that I can play injury-free. After that I would like to achieve my goal of helping Valencia qualify for the Champions League, to do well at the U21 finals and to keep representing the senior side. Quote
