Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah has enjoyed playing for Watford boss Gianfranco Zola.
Chalobah has been outstanding during his season-long loan.
He told BBC Sport: "The manager is very inspiring, I've seen clips of him on YouTube and Chelsea TV and some of the things he did as a player were just wonderful to watch.
"I think every single player here respects him and working under him is just one of the best things that could possibly have happened to me because he was a top, top player and I am aiming to be a top player.
"I did feel like I needed to come away and learn and get some game time, and Watford was probably the best place that I could come to because of the manager."
