Mata has been in inspired form of late having scooped the Premier League Player of the Month award for October.

He has linked up superbly with Oscar and Eden Hazard, the trio all having contributed to the Blues' more attractive playing style.

"I think the football we're playing has taken the club, and my game, to a different level," Mata told the Daily Mirror.

"We are playing the kind of football I have always loved to play, with freedom up front, all of us trying to pass and create with quality."

On Di Matteo's management, he added: "His speeches in team meetings are very clever. And it's true that he knows how to go into each player.

"He talks with each of us about our rivals and how important it is to win trophies for this club.

"With me, he always gave me confidence. Of course, when you are playing well you don't need that.

"But when you are in a bad moment, you do need it, and Robbie knows when he has to say something and always gave that to me."
