West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola singled
out Mido for special praise after a hard week of training.
Although Zola have a plenty of options at front at his
disposal for this afternoon match, the chance might
come to Mido earlier than expected and he might be involved
in matches soon.
"The most important thing for him
is to get accustomed to the others and them to get accustomed
to him. Then obviously I will monitor him and see if
he needs to do any special work. For now the most important
thing is we get used to him. Gianfranco Zola said.
The Egyptian striker made a fresh start
in England again and accepted to earn a record low 1.000
pounds a week to prove that he is a Premiership quality
striker once again. Zola sees that Mido will get what
he deserves next season.
"If he produces a lot for us there is every chance
that he will be earning more next season. I don't know
if is he has a goals bonus in his contract. I never
get involved in details like that. My focus is on the
pitch, the rest is a club matter.
"Mido is a talent to everybody. He's strong but
also he has got a very good touch and he has a good
presence.
"What has impressed me in the first few days of
training sessions is his touch under pressure. It's
very good. And you can see how he receives the ball
when he's pressed, he is not afraid of controlling the
ball, something that Carlton Cole has got."
Surely Zola's praise at this time is a positive thing
for Mido as it will help the latter gain more confidence
and start games.
