Mata: Let's Maintain Our Good Streak

In his latest blog, Juan Mata hails a welcome victory for Manchester United but bemoans the injury to team-mate Luke Shaw...

Following Saturday’s victory, we had an intense training session on Sunday and we also reviewed the game in London. Now we are looking forward to our next two consecutive games at Old Trafford.

This win was very important, that’s for sure. Arsenal are a team that keep attacking the entire game, even more so when they play at home. They created good chances and it was tough, but we managed to bring the three points back to Manchester thanks to David [De Gea]’s great performance, Antonio [Valencia]’s shot that ended up in an own goal and Wayne [Rooney]’s clinical finish.

We are fourth now and we want to keep climbing the table. After two victories in a row, all we want now is to maintain this good streak. It’s not going to be easy against Hull and Stoke, but we hope to play two good games and win. The bad news was Luke Shaw’s injury and, unfortunately, we are suffering too many of them so far this season, but the most important thing is to keep winning games while we wait for the team-mates to be fully fit.

Music, movies and books

As I write this, I’m listening to Ludovico Einaudi. I always - or nearly always - update my blog with his music playing in the background; I like it and it’s very relaxing.

Thank you all for your recommendations about movies, you have good taste… ;-) I think the next classic film I’m going to watch will be Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’. These days I’m reading the biography of a sports legend, tennis to be precise, Andre Agassi.

Hugs to all of you Juan
