Gaetano Berardi has confirmed that he hasnât seen Andrea Radrizzaniâs comments on Leeds Unitedâs playing squad, before stressing that he didnât care what the owner had to say. Â
Radrizzani launched an attack on the commitment of Leedsâ squad earlier this week, with the clubâs owner questioning Paul Heckingbottomâs playing squad.
Berardi was quizzed about Radrizzaniâs comments ahead of Saturdayâs clash with Sheffield Wednesday, with the Leeds defender giving a brutally honest reply to Phil Hay from the Yorkshire Evening Post:
So far this season, Berardi has been a regular feature in Leedsâ defence, with the Swiss defender featuring across the back-four.
Leedsâ play-off dream has gone up in smoke since the turn of the year, with the Whites managing to pick up just one victory since Boxing Day, which has left them 13th.
Berardi captained Leeds to a 2-2 draw against Reading last weekend at the Madejski Stadium, as the Whitesâ wait for a second victory of the year continued.
This weekend Leeds return to Elland Road ahead of Marchâs international break, with Sheffield Wednesday visiting for a Yorkshire derby.
The Verdict Â
Berardiâs comments on Radrizzaniâs rant are a huge surprise, as the ownerâs criticism was directed at the playing squad at Elland Road.
Of course, Berardi does the right thing by not discussing what has been said in detail, but it is certainly a topic that needs to be discussed within the dressing room.
This weekend is the perfect opportunity for Leedsâ playing squad to make a statement to the owner.
