West Ham United Unveil New Signing Simone ZazaSimone Zaza is relishing what he believes is the start of a new relationship with the fans.
The Italian striker had his best game so far inthe claret and blue against Palace and told the official site: “We had a good feeling after the win, of course.
“I feel like I’m performing well now I’m physically fit. I am happy for myself and also for the team because we really needed the win. I feel like we’re turning things around.”
“The manager told me after that he had seen the ‘Real Zaza’ and yes, yes, I agree with that. I knew that when I arrived it would be hard, because it’s a completely different league, but I didn’t think it would be this different.

“I’m gradually getting used to it, feeling more confident and I’m very positive at the moment.

“My relationship with the supporters is much better now! The fans expect me to give my best, and so they should, but sometimes the difficulties a player is experiencing are not so clear.

“What is important to the fans is the team scoring goals and winning games and they’re right about that. I know this is the right club for me, with the fans, the culture, the team and the whole concept of not giving up.

“I really appreciate the fact that the fans appreciated my performance at Crystal Palace and I hope my first goal comes soon so we can celebrate together.”

“Of course I want my first goal to come and Saturday would be a great time for that to happen, particularly as we’re playing at home
“Of course I want my first goal to come and Saturday would be a great time for that to happen, particularly as we’re playing at home,” he said.

“While I want to score, of course, the most important thing is for the team to win and if we do that it will be a big step forward in terms of improving our league position.

“If we win on Saturday against Sunderland, I think we can say that our league season has begun.”

    I thought he ran his socks last game if he gives that effort every week I’m happy ! It’s your work rate off the ball that can be the difference ,we proved last year we’ve got goals through out the whole team . Yes he is a forward but he not responsible for scoring every game he can create gaps for the mid fielders to score
