Clinton Mata

Clinton Mata is an 33-year-old angola footballer who plays as a right-back for Olympique Lyonnais in FL1.

Olympique Lyonnais, one of the established names in French football, provides a demanding environment where technical quality, tactical discipline and composure are valued in equal measure. Clinton Mata sits within that framework as a player whose responsibilities are shaped by both his position and the tactical demands of a competitive top-flight squad.

At right-back, he is typically asked to balance defensive spacing with support in wide areas, handling both one-v-one defending and the demands of modern build-up play.

Defensive Duties

He also fits a modern game in which positional flexibility is often valued, particularly when teams want to shift between structured possession and more direct transitions without losing shape.

At this stage of his career, experience and game management are central, and he remains the type of player a squad can lean on when matches require control and clarity. For Olympique Lyonnais, that means his contribution is likely to be judged not only by visible moments, but by the quieter structural work that helps a side stay balanced over 90 minutes.
