MATA TO TAKE 10
Posted on: Fri 26 Aug 2011
Juan Mata will wear squad number 10 after Yossi Benayoun offered him the shirt.
The Isreali captain said: 'I decided to give Mata the number 10 - his favourite. For me it's just a number, not my lucky 15.'
Mata wore the shirt for Valencia and while skippering Spain's Under 21s in the summer and expressed his gratitude to Benayoun, who will now have the squad number 30.
'It is a very important number to me so I'm pleased to be wearing it. I want to thank Yossi,' he said.
As well as Benayoun, Mata follows on from legends Joe Cole, Mark Hughes, Ian Hutchinson and Terry Venables in adopting the number 10 jersey.
