Zola Anger

Last updated : 18 March 2002 By Rich Godden
Zola spoke out following the 4-0 victory against Sunderland after he was left out of the starting XI for the third straight game. Jesper Gronkjaer's comeback from injury has been spectacular, with the flying Dane playing his socks off recently. His form has convinced Claudio Ranieri that 4-4-2 is the best formation for his team. Combine this with the Gudjohnsen-Hasselbaink partnership and it is hard to find a place for Zola in the lineup. Zola said, "I think I deserve to play more than I do and that is frustrating. I'm happy, but not as I can be. I can never see myself playing for another club because I have too much passion for the crowd and I believe they feel the same way about me."

Zola then went on to add, "I still believe I'm good enough, thats why I never worry or think about it when people say that I will become part of the coaching staff. I would love to play, but it's out of my hands."
