Zola - I am under pressure
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Gianfranco Zola insists he is under just as much pressure as Manchester City boss Mark Hughes.[LNB] The West Ham chief comes up against Hughes' City on Monday.[LNB]And Zola is looking forward to clashing with his former Chelsea team-mate.[LNB]"Both of us are under pressure for different reasons. He knows with the budget and the team he has got he has to produce results," said Zola.[LNB]"But I have to produce solutions and that is a pressure as well.[LNB]"I am coping with the job and the situation is making me more creative, more responsible. It is a good challenge. A positive pressure.[LNB]"I like to work with the players and make them improve. And to build a team. I wouldn't mind some money to spend on a good player. [LNB]"It would make the process a little quicker. But I don't mind, I like what I am doing and this team has got a future."[LNB]Zola admits that he never thought that he and Hughes would one day be meeting on the sidelines after playing together.[LNB]"It was difficult for me to imagine myself as a football manager. Mark was unbelievable on the pitch in those days," he said.[LNB]"It was my fortune as a footballer to have him on my side.[LNB]"On the training ground he was the worst training mate I have ever had in my career.[LNB]"But he is doing very well in his job. He did well at Blackburn and when he was with Wales. I have only admiration for him as a footballer and a manager."[LNB]
