Juan Mata sings the Macarena for Chelsea fans
Posted Sunday, October 07, 2012 by Metro.co.uk
Juan Mata has showed his talents are not limited to football by singing the Macarena to Chelsea fans.
The midfield maestro gave the performance during an appearance with his fellow Spanish Blues Fernando Torres, Oriol Romeu and Cesar Azpilicueta at a supporters' event.
Quizzed about what song he had chosen for his Blues initiation, Mata ruined his reputation as the Premier League's most-cultured star by admitting it had been Los del Rio's 1994 hit.
Egged on by his giggling team-mates, the audience and a Chelsea TV presenter, Mata agreed to sing it again, as long as everyone else clapped along.
Footballers and singing normally only means one thing - embarrassment.
Think Kevin Keegan's Head Over Heels In Love and Andy Cole's Outstanding, or imagine how bad John Terry's karaoke version of Luther Vandross's Never Too Much was at that notorious Chelsea Christmas party.
Somehow, Mata's good-natured approach ensured his quick vocal burst wasn't too cringeworthy - although the same can't be said of Romeu's seated dancing.
