INFO:Mattea was a right inside. He spent almost his whole career at Casale in two spells, the first between 1912 and 1915, the second from 1921 to 1932, making 240 appearances and scoring 81 goals. In the 1913-14 title winning season, he scored 22 goals − only one less than the top scorer Amedeo Varese − in 29 matches. He played also for Juventus and Torinese. He capped 5 times for Italy, scoring once.
Built with a graceless and extremely skinny body, Mattea was cunning, tricky and accurate, gifted with particularly good dribbling and technique. He was considered one of the best players in terms of positioning and ball distribution. He was capable of eluding the defenders with accurate and fast through passes as well as high lobs towards a teammate. Moreover, he possessed an accurate and powerful shot combined with speed of execution. In his late career, when he played more as wing half, he showed his playmaking ability even from the back, without though losing his scoring ability.
