Mata: Old Trafford Is Buzzing

Each and every Monday during the season, Manchester United star Juan Mata pens a personal blog in which he reflects on his past week both on and off the pitch. In his latest post, on Monday 26 September, he reflects on the home victory over Leicester City and looks ahead to two more games at Old Trafford...

Today I’m writing at the end of a quiet and happy Sunday, the day that follows a good and convincing victory. The truth is Saturday was a special day at Old Trafford. Facing the current champions and getting such a win, feeling how the fans celebrate it, and enjoying on the pitch have been enough reasons to make this weekend special.

Each goal came in a different way; we showed that we are a team with a lot of potential, with different ways to score goals, and we have to take advantage of that. The crowd in Old Trafford was really excited, in a way I hadn’t seen for a long time, and that’s what our fans deserve.

Being able to play and win like that is a special feeling. You can feel the crowd connecting with the team, and it seems that everything just flows. In general we got very positive feelings and a boost of confidence to play the next couple of games before another international break.

We have two games again this week. On Thursday we play against Zorya Luhansk, from Ukraine. Perhaps they are not very well known, but they are second in their league with only one defeat so far. We will get to know more things about them in the next few days to prepare for the game. The first week they got a draw against Fenerbahce; they are not in this competition by chance.

On the weekend we will face Stoke City in Old Trafford. They haven’t had the start they expected but it’s always tough to play against them. They have very talented players that are able to define a match in an individual action. We are looking forward to having two good games at home this week and make the fans enjoy as they did last Saturday. It would allow us to go to the international break with very good feelings.

It’s time to sign off, have a nice week!

Hugs,

Juan
