The former Parma attacker concedes that he remains clueless on whom to support between Napoli and Chelsea in the upcoming UEFA Champions League tie.
Gianfranco Zola had the pleasure of representing both the clubs in his distinguished career which spanned from 1984 to 2005.
The Italian made a great impact at both clubs, especially at Stamford Bridge, as he is still considered as one of the best players to have plied their trade in the English Premier League.
Zola remains faithful to both the clubs, and is finding it impossible to decide which team to support in the upcoming Champions League match.
While talking to La Repubblica about the game at Stadio San Paolo, he commented:
“I’m split into two. If I said I favoured one team over another then I would feel like a creep.”
The former Italian international has wished the two sides luck and stated:
“I just hope that the best team wins.”
The former West Ham manager is full of praise for the Chelsea and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 fans, and while stating his appreciation for their love, he commented:
“Both sides have great sets of fans and I remember them with gratitude.”
Zola left little Torres to join the Partenopei side in the summer of 1989, where he spent four successful years and formed a formidable partnership with legendary Argentinean, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160.
The former Italian international scored 32 times in 105 matches he played for Napoli, before leaving them for Parma in 1993.
After calling time on his Gialloblu career, the Italian moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 where he had an amazing impact. The diminutive Italian was a revelation in the Premier League, bringing his Italian flair to the Stamford bridge outfit. He
helped Chelsea in winning four trophies during his stint from 1996-2003, and went onto score 80 goals in 309 games for the Blues.
The first of the two-legged tie between Napoli and Chelsea will be played at Stadio San Paolo on Tuesday, 21 February. Walter Mazzarri’s men finished second in the Group A, while Andre Villas Boas’s side topped their respective
group.
