馬塔周記：客戰切爾西，會是賽季以來最艱難考驗
Hi，大家好
一周的時間過去了，我們又回到了勝利的軌道，這一切只是為了更好地驗證球隊從新賽季開始以來所展現出來的穩定性和實力。聯賽杯贏下對陣斯旺西的比賽，還有聯賽贏下對陣熱刺的比賽，這兩場比賽我們都保持了零封，這也展示了我們此前每周在周記上所說的那樣：我們的團隊非常有競爭力。兩場勝利都讓我們更加冷靜，同時帶給我們自信心，在斯旺西的那一場勝仗，允許我們在這項杯賽中走得更遠，我們同時也是聯賽杯的衛冕冠軍。下一場比賽將會是12月中旬四分之一淘汰賽對陣布里斯托城的比賽，所以我們現在有足夠的時間專注於其他的賽事。
本周的開始，是歐冠賽場，周二在老特拉福德對陣本菲卡的比賽。歐冠小組賽三場比賽結束之後，我們已經有9個積分，而本菲卡1分也沒有，但如果我們表現得自負，這將會是一個非常可怕的錯誤。本菲卡不是小球隊，他們是歐洲最老牌的俱樂部之一，他們迫切需要贏下這場比賽。我們也有充分的動力：如果在這場比賽中拿到3分我們可以直接進入歐冠淘汰賽，再加上這場歐冠我們將在主場作戰，上周六的主場曼聯的球迷們已經營造出了一個非常驚人的主場氛圍，所以我覺得這將會是一場重要的比賽，毫無疑問，我們應該如何應對這樣的比賽是球隊能否贏得勝利的冠軍。
我覺得關於下周日前往史丹福橋的比賽，球隊的態度也應該是一致的。我們將客訪史丹福橋，對於我的職業生涯來說，那裡始終是一個非常重要的地方，正如你們所知的那樣。儘管為切爾西踢球已經是很多年前的事情了，但我對於切爾西的球迷們，在那裡生活的人們的感激之情依然沒變。除此之外，對陣衛冕冠軍是一項真正的挑戰，這也將會是本賽季截至目前為止最為艱難的一場比賽，我們想要展現出自己的實力，並順利拿到3分。全世界有數以百萬計的球迷都會非常期待這場比賽，我覺得這也將會成為英超賽程表上最為重要的比賽日之一。
在西甲賽場，巴塞隆納依舊是不可阻擋的，他們在新聖馬梅斯贏得了一場比賽的勝利，繼續保持在積分榜首的位置，這樣的勝利也讓他們的統治力和穩定性得到了進一步提升。瓦倫西亞，是我生涯里最為特別的一家俱樂部，他們處於聯賽積分榜的次席，新賽季瓦倫西亞取得了夢幻般的開局，在各項賽事他們都有拿到3分的實力，建立起了一個非常有競爭力的陣容。我需要向瓦倫西亞表達衷心的祝賀。與此同時，皇馬在對陣赫羅納的比賽中陰溝裡翻船，新賽季首次，赫羅納在主場踢出了非凡的一場比賽，過去的幾年時間他們一直都是同一個教練，他們的穩定性很出色。儘管皇馬和巴薩的積分差距已經來到了8分，同時和排名第二的瓦倫西亞也有了4分的差距，但我覺得皇馬會漸漸接近於冠軍的位置，我們現在才感到10月底，而到了明年5月份，冠軍的歸屬才會真正地見分曉。
最後，但並非最不重要的一件事情，我們有機會見到俱樂部大批的來自於斯堪的納維亞的球迷們的代表，我們將會和他們在Tapeo & Wine進行一次會面，可以了解一下他們的故事，並感受到這些球迷們的支持與愛，真的是太好了。謝謝你們所有人！
祝你們都能度過愉快的一周，希望我們的勝利可以對你們的心情也有所幫助。

Ps：藉此機會，我也想要祝賀英格蘭U17國家隊在印度獲得了U17世界盃的冠軍，尤其要祝賀我的前隊友安傑爾-戈麥斯，他在上賽季聯賽最後一輪對陣水晶宮的比賽中完成了曼聯一線隊首秀，他是偉大的一代中的一員，我覺得未來他可以獲得成功，而屬於年輕人的時代終將到來。我也想要向西班牙表達祝賀，桑蒂-迪尼亞的球隊完成了一份非常好的工作，他們充分展現出了西班牙足球的特色，這是一支非常了不起的球隊。
當然我還想要為漢密爾頓送上祝賀，貢獻他獲得了第四次F1年度總冠軍，對於英國體育來說，這是非常輝煌的成就！
TWO TOP-LEVEL GAMES
Hi everyone,
One week later we are back to the victories, just to validate the consistency and strength that the team is showing since the season started. Winning against Swansea in the Carabao Cup and Tottenham in the Premier League, in both cases with clean sheets, show what we』ve been saying on this blog every week: this team can compete. The two victories bring calm and confidence, and the one at Swansea also allow us to move forward in a competition where we are the defending champions. The next game will be against Bristol City in the quarter-finals, by mid-December, so there’s plenty of time now to focus on the other competitions.
For a start, the Champions League, this Tuesday against Benfica at Old Trafford. We have nine points and they have none, but being overconfident would be a terrible mistake. Benfica is not a minor team, they are one of the classic clubs in Europe and they need to win this game. We are fully motivated: three points would take us straight to the next stage, plus we play at Old Trafford, where our crowd created an amazing atmosphere last Saturday. It’s a very important game, there’s no doubt about it. That’s how we face it.
The same can be said about next Sunday’s match. We visit Stamford Bridge, a place that’s been very important in my career, as you know. That was already a few years ago, but my gratitude to the Chelsea people for what we lived there is still present. Beyond that, playing against the current champions is a true challenge, one of the toughest games of the season, and we want to show what we are capable of and get the three points. Millions of fans around the world are looking forward to this game. It’s one of the biggest days in the Premier League calendar.
In Spain, Barcelona remains unstoppable, with a win at the new San Mamés that reinforces their leadership and consistency at the top of the table. Valencia, a club that is really special for me, is second. They are having an amazing start this season, getting the three points in all kind of games and building up a very interesting project. My sincere congratulations to them. Meanwhile, Real Madrid had a slip-up in Girona against a team that is making its debut in the first division playing uninhibited football, keeping the same manager of the last few years, with whom they got promoted. Continuity is working quite well for them. Although the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is eight points –four points with Valencia, in the second spot–, I』m sure they will get closer to fight for the title. We are just in October and it’s in May where the leagues are won…
Last, but not least, on Sunday I had the opportunity to meet a wide group of representatives from our official fan club in Scandinavia, during their meeting at Tapeo & Wine. Getting to know their personal stories, and feeling the love and support they give to us from the Scandinavian countries, was just great. Thank you all!
I hope you have a nice week, and that our games can help to that ;-).
Hugs,
Juan Mata

PS: I take this opportunity to congratulate England for winning the Under-17 World Cup in India. In particular to my former team-mate Angel Gomes, who made his debut against Crystal Palace in the final game of the last Premier League season. He’s part of a great generation of players that can bring more success in the future. Congratulations also to Spain. Santi Denia’s team did an excellent job in this World Cup, displaying the main features of the Spanish football with which I feel so identified. There’s a fantastic group of footballers in the making.
And of course, congratulations to Lewis Hamilton after conquering his fourth F1 world championship. A fantastic achievement for the British sport!
