Swansea play 13th placed West Ham on Saturday, but there are only three points between the two sides, and the congested nature of the bottom half makes every point priceles.
"I do not feel under pressure. We were under as much pressure when we were six points above (relegation). This is not pressure, pressure is in Syria and Afghanistan, these kinds of situations," he said.
"In football it's pressure to win a game. You pretend to be better than the opponents and in the pitch you have to discuss different arguments against a team and in the end see which team will win.
"We respect West Ham. They have a very good coach and good players also. The season is under expectations I believe for West Ham.
"We are doing well in our home games and I think the challenge will be for the fans also. It's important what the fans give to us in all games, but especially the last games, they were really very powerful to support this team," he concluded.
