Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho told why Spanish midfielder Juan Mata gets little playing time this season. So far only played three Mat matches Chelsea this season after spending on the field about 150 minutes.
«There are things that I can't talk to you. Mata played from the first minutes of the match with Everton, and you can analyze his game. He played against FC Basel 1893, having appeared on the field, not in order to save the game as Demba Ba and John Obi Mikel. Mata came out when we won with a score 1:0, and had specific tasks. He needs to adapt to the game that we want to show. My number 10 at the moment is the Oscar. And if someone says that Chelsea's best player since the beginning of the season is not Oscar, I don't agree with him,» - Mourinho said.
The match Chelsea- Basel, held on 18 September, in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, Mourinho's men defeat - 1:2.
