He is so articulate, compared to Mancini. Can't imagine Mancini coming up with "there's not a hidden agenda" ! I'm beginning to think we are very lucky to have him. Talking of Mancini & Zola, in today's Grauniad: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/jan/03/zola-mancini-watford-manchester-city
To be fair, Zola has spent something like a total of 10 years in England so I'd be surprised if he hadn't built up his vocabulary compared to Mancini's 4 or 5. Also, that article is a good read.
i love that whenever he's interviewed he stresses how well we did last year under Sean Dyche. He's a good man, Zola, i like him, and i like what he's doing...and i love where we're going!
Articulate little man hey, good find HH. Talking the talk like any Italian worth his weight should !!
He comes across as a very likeable man who is able to see things as they are. Martinez seems another...a refreshing change from some of the one-eyed, paranoid managers who often grace the air waves.
Zola does come across in interviews as a person who is thoughtful and well informed--and not just about football. He is far from the "one-dimensional" stereotype of the average footballer . And while being civilised, polite and evidently likeable may not help him win any matches, it is certainly good to have such a person represent our club!
Zola is a classy bloke...does come across really well in interviews consdering english isn't his home language and often says as it is rather than making the usual excuses.
Very well said Rog68 - I think overall we have been blessed with managers who demonstrate these qualities. Sean Dyche, Malky and even Mr Integrity were very personable and I was proud to have them as managers at Watford. Betty started well enough, but went into some world of his own - Middle Earth it seemed at times . I would like to think it is the influence of the best of them all - Sir GT!
You could certainly talk to Boothroyd and he'd be happy to met the fans....even if he gave a headache afterwards! I wonder how many high profile managers and players are so welcoming?
