Juan Mata ready for exciting April

Every week, Juan Mata writes a blog about his experiences as a Manchester United player and, in his latest entry, he's itching for the club action to resume after the international break...

As you can imagine, this has been a quiet week due to the international break. We have had some training sessions to maintain our physical level during these days, also with an eye on our next game at home against Aston Villa.

We are in the last stage of the Premier League, with just eight weeks ahead: eight crucial games to determine where we will finally stand on the table.

Personally, I think setting our goals game after game is the right thing to do, trying to win as many of them as possible and keeping the momentum following these two wins versus Tottenham and Liverpool. I check the calendar and I see four big games for us in April: Aston Villa, Manchester City, Chelsea and Everton. All of them are big clubs and we want to show that we can beat them, getting close to our goal and also making our fans happy.

Precisely, I want to thank our fans for the Player of the Month award for March. It’s been a month with several key victories and a boost of confidence for the team. As I always say, your support is vital for us!

I’m writing these lines from Asturias, my place to switch off from football. Coming back home is always special, I love to see my family and friends and recharge the batteries for the rest of the season.

Hugs,

Juan
