Mata says he's happy to stick with Chelsea

Juan Mata insists he's happy at Chelsea.

The midfielder was back in Jose Mourinho's line-up on Tuesday and scored in the Capital One Cup win over Arsenal.

He told talkSPORT: "I am happy at Chelsea. I have always felt the support of the fans - in every game, on the street - I have felt the love from them. I try to play for them, score for them and make them happy. We have great support.

"I want to play as much as I can, but if you want to win titles you need 24-25 players ready to play. Anyone can play any game.

"I always train my best and try to do my job the best I can. I have to be ready to play at my best at any time and that's what I do."
