Chelsea attacking midfielder Juan Mata insists that he is not letting his snub from the Spain national team affect him after his starring role in the Blues' 4-2 win over Tottenham on Saturday.
The former Valencia man was left out of Vicente del Bosque's squad for the world and European champions' October World Cup qualifiers but bounced back from that rejection with a superb showing in his club's first match after the international break at White Hart Lane.
The 24-year-old scored twice and set up Daniel Sturridge as Chelsea turned a 2-1 deficit into three points and stressed that he is focusing on his club duties rather than worrying about La Roja.
That is a great step from him.He cannot cry over it forever....
