Juan Mata targets "perfect summer"

Juan Mata has revealed that winning gold with Spain's men's football team at the Olympic Games in London later this month would round off a "perfect summer" for him.

The Chelsea attacker has already won the FA Cup, Champions League and European Championships over the previous two months.

With La Roja among the favourites to win the Olympic prize, Mata has now turned his attention to helping his country succeed once again.

"There are other very strong teams, who have squads that can challenge for the title," he told reporters. "We have to be isolated from these expectations about winning. We want to do as well as possible, but we know that it will be difficult.

"Personally I've had a fantastic season, and if we win, it would be a perfect summer and a first season in England in which I couldn't have asked for more."

Mata joined the Blues from Valencia in August of last year.
