Movement Juan Mata place broad limits on the influence of a player with the ability and the brain to control the tempo of a match

He was the brilliant volley just after the break, which stressed the importance of Juan Mata for Chelsea. It was the late free-kick that led to David De Gea in a full length save anyone, or the provision of the range for the third goal for Chelsea.

side was a 20-yard pass to Jose Bosingwa in the 65th minute with the score at 3-1, which decreased the Chelsea attack. He wanted to Florent Malouda, who wanted a pass in front of him to attack new Manchester United right-back Luis Antonio Valencia, and caused an audible groan around Stamford Bridge.

But the passage of intelligence and knowledge of the situation demonstrated Mata. Chelsea went 3-0 without playing particularly good football, but left behind United in the match. The second half was frenetic, fast and end to end. Chelsea the lead with two goals, did not want -. They needed to calm things down, kill the game, control the tempo

Mata was the only one who understood. Its passage was not dramatic, disappointing and lacking in ambition. But it was the right thing to do, but requested a minute of pure possession of Chelsea, which has struggled to recreate later, at a time when the UK attack followed attack and Chelsea did when you could authorizations have been going on

And what followed that moment of possession? A shot of Mata, controlled, precise and binding De Gea in a Smart Stop down on your right. It was the perfect way to address this point, to control the game, frustrating the United States, then quickly pounce.

Mata is a thinker on one side of Chelsea, which has become an interesting team, but one based on rhythm and technique rather than reflection. Villas-Boas wants a "vertical" game, but yesterday, should be more horizontal. Raul Meireles and Michael Essien are both box to box players more than titles. Daniel Sturridge and Malouda moved on top and wanted to break quickly, while Fernando Torres was naturally on the lookout for the goal that seems destined not to go. Chelsea played someone too direct and necessary to quell a hand full of scurriers and shuttlers.

The smartest players to adjust their game and make good decisions based on the situation. The former midfielder of Real Madrid Fernando Redondo was a master of that described by Fabio Capello as "perfect tactical" player, able to defend and attack both with the same forces in different ways.

be adaptable in this regard is the last part of the training regime of Jose Mourinho. The exercise is made of "guided discovery" to help players reach their own conclusions. The ultimate goal is to make your players smart enough to adjust the shape and style of the game in accordance with the tactical situation in the game, without the intervention of Mourinho. He likes a leader in the field, a central midfielder who carries out the instructions and set the tone for the rest of the face. Esteban Cambiasso was visible at Inter, while Xabi Alonso went to the function at Real Madrid.

Villas-Boas is a disciple of Mourinho, of course, and their coach is certainly Mata. Chelsea spends much of his time giving instructions to players on the sidelines. It is very pedantic, in terms of investment, often whistling to the lawyer of his strange squat, then gestured for them to move a few feet away, or a couple of meters close.

To be fair, Chelsea him hard endpoints against Manchester City in another big game at home. But this victory was assured when the city was reduced to 10 men, Roberto Mancini, has moved to a very narrow 4-3-1-1 system that allows the Chelsea space on the flanks, and the home team won the decisive penalty after an attack that crossed the release three times, on the flank to flank. Sideways can be as effective as before.

lateral movement was necessary to Chelsea yesterday, but a lateral movement of a species other than one made by Villas-Boas eventually cost them. His decision to move right Mata meant that his driver had been pushed to the margins, and Chelsea suddenly clueless with the ball. Oriel Romeu came on, played much deeper, and granted land Chelsea midfielder for the last 20 minutes.
