The crazy welcome of Juan Mata in his new country

At 36 years old, Juan Mata continues to enjoy professional football and adds a new chapter to his extensive career. The talented midfielder, who started his journey in the youth ranks of Real Oviedo, gained international fame in the Premier League where he played for over a decade. After stints in Turkey and concluding his last phase in Japan with Vissel Kobe, Mata has decided to embark on a new adventure in Australia.

Many Real Oviedo fans dreamed of Mata's return to Carlos Tartiere, but those expectations will have to wait. Although there was a desire to see him back in his homeland, economic demands have made his comeback to the Asturian club challenging. Additionally, Mata continues to receive a substantial salary, and his focus on business ventures has also influenced his decision.

From Japan to Australia

After leaving Japan, Mata stayed fit by training with FC Nordsjælland in Denmark, sparking rumors of a potential signing with the Danish club. However, the midfielder opted for a more exotic destination and has signed with the Western Sydney Wanderers in the Australian A-League.

Juan Mata's signing was confirmed a week ago, but it wasn't until this Saturday that he landed in Sydney. Upon arrival, he was greeted like a true star by dozens of fans who gave him a warm welcome. Amid chants and applause, the supporters not only showed their enthusiasm but also presented him with a scarf from his new team and requested autographs on jerseys from some of the clubs where he has played throughout his career.
