News about Gianfranco Zola

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it. This list is meant to be a salute to them and of football's rich, rich past, as well as what the game means to all of us and what players represent and why they capture something in us. You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure. The depth of our passion for the game and the ferocity of our opinions about the players are only two of the factors that make football so beautiful.

Eden Hazard used to make Maurizio Sarri 'crazy' when he was Chelsea boss, according to Gianfranco Zola. Zola, the blues' assistant, served in Sarri's one season as the club finished third in the Premier League and won the Europa League in 2018. Hazard was essential to Chelsea this year, scoring 21 goals in all competitions, with his form earning him a record-breaking move to Real Madrid for a fee increasing to £130 million.

After a strange review of the midfielder's England appearance against Italy, Gianfranco Zola had Jude Bellingham and his fellow pundits in stitches. Bellingham helped the Three Lions qualify for Euro 2024 with a dramatic performance during their 3-1 victory over the Azzurri at Wembley on Tuesday. The 20-year-old played as a No. 10 and dominated the midfield as he won a first half penalty, which Harry Kane scored from, before setting up Marcus Rashford for England's second.

On Wednesday, the Ecuadori international midfielder held his first training session at the club's training ground in Cobham. He has been a member of the Blues since 1980, and the Blues have the ability to extend it until 2032. Caicedo was keen to have ahold of the No. 8000. He wore a 25 shirt at Brighton, but the number at Stamford Bridge has sentimental value.

Gianfranco Zola, a Chelsea legend, believes that being so many players in his squad hinders him. In January, the Blues splashed the money on eight players in an attempt to raise the team's fortunes. This hasn't translated into action on the field yet, with Chelsea being held to draws by Fulham and West Ham since the window was closed, but Chelsea has been held to draws by Fulham and West Ham. Zola has some sympathy for Potter and acknowledges that it is such a struggle for the Englishman right now.

Until Chelsea and Brentford manager Thomas Franke went on the rare step of interviewing each other before their teams lost 0-0 on Wednesday night. Despite losing two points at the Gtech Community Stadium, the Blues maintained their unbeaten run since new coach Potter took over from Thomas Tuchel, who dropped two points at the Gtech Community Stadium, which was certainly the most entertaining moment game before kickoff. Potter and Frank appeared on Amazon Prime Sport's pre-match show, as did host Simon Thomas and pundit Gianfranco Zola to preview their game.

Despite being held to a goalless draw by Brentford in their latest fixture, the Blues now sit fourth in the league table after the first ten matches. They did, however, win their first game under new manager Graham Potter at Brentford Community Stadium. Despite the hope being on the Blues to win, the former striker, who scored 59 goals and 42 assists in 229 appearances for Chelsea, also praised it as a positive sign.
