Juan Mata believes Roberto Di Matteo is the 'perfect manager' for Chelsea after describing the Italian as a 'legend' at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, the in-form Mata has expressed his hope to follow the likes of team-mates Frank Lampard and John Terry in becoming 'legends' at Chelsea. The Spain schemer added: "We have three or four players who are very, very important for us. "They are legends now at the club because of what they did during eight, nine, 10 years. And they are our captains as well, so they are the present and still the future of Chelsea. "On the other hand, we have young players, for example like me, who want to be as good as them in the history of Chelsea. I wish I will be like Frank Lampard or like John Terry in the next years. "This is my second year at Chelsea. I really enjoyed the first one. It was one of the best in the history of Chelsea. But I think the best is still to come, hopefully. "We are now enjoying (life) with young and with experienced players and I think there is a balance that we have in the dressing room."
