"We're trying to adapt to the league and make some changes. But we don't change the way we see football and what is good for this club, because otherwise we're nothing," Zola told reporters ahead of Monday's FA Cup clash against Manchester United.
"He has improved a lot, Pep, because he's got his team defending better, he's got his team pressing better and attacking better.

Chelsea face a tough run of potentially season-defining fixtures in different competitions, with Sarri now the bookmakers' favourite to become the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
The London side face United in the FA Cup on Monday, host Malmo in the Europa League last-32 second leg on Thursday, then head to Wembley for the League Cup final against Manchester City before meeting Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League three days later.
