Alvaro Morata must embrace the weight of expectation at Chelsea as the misfiring forward continues to struggle, according to Gianfranco Zola.
Morata has only managed five goals in the Premier League this season and seven in all competitions amid links with Sevilla and AC Milan.
Chelsea spent around £60million to prise Morata from Real Madrid in 2017 but the Spain international has struggled for goals and confidence after a promising start to life at Stamford Bridge.
With doubts over Morata s future in London, assistant coach Zola said the 26-year-old has to deal with the pressure at Chelsea.
It should be a motivational thing, said Zola. You are at Chelsea, you are not playing for Southampton or Brighton with all due respect to those clubs.

Massimiliano Allegri hailed Juventus response after they beat Zenit 4-2 to qualify for the Champions League round of 16 following defeats to Sassuolo and Hellas Verona.

Liverpool s 18-year-old left-back Jack Robinson has spoken of his joy at penning a new long-term deal at Anfield.
The promising defender has made five senior appearances having become the youngest ever player to represent the club after coming on as a substitute against Hull on the final day of the 2009-10 season.
Robinson has seen first-team chances limited following the arrival of former Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique this summer, but was eager to sign a new deal.
I m delighted, he told the club s official website.
I was going for my lunch and I saw Damien (Comolli) on my way through. He pulled me to one side and said the club wanted to offer me a new contract.
There was no doubt in my mind, I was just so excited the club were offering me…

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann backed Jamal Musiala to shine for Germany at the World Cup after he produced a scintillating display in Saturday s 2-0 win at Schalke.
On the day he became the youngest player to make 100 Bayern appearances since the Bundesliga was founded (aged 19 years and 259 days old), Musiala laid on goals for Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in a routine victory.
Musiala has now contributed to 21 goals this season (12 goals, nine assists) – more than any other German playing in one of Europe s top five leagues has managed.
The teenager was also denied a goal of his own by the offside flag after claiming his second assist on Saturday and Nagelsmann believes Germany fans should be excited by his presence in Qatar.
