To everything Domenico Berardi. After an injury that kept him away from the playing field for seven months, the Sassuolo attacking winger recently returned to the pitch. And he spoke precisely about the support of Sassuolo, of which he is a flag, in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport: “This is my second family and it’s not just a figure of speech, I will never forget the relationship with Dr. Squinzi and his wife, who treated me like a son and made me grow. It was mutual love.”
Then there is room for what could have been and will perhaps be in the future: “Until I was 26-27 I didn’t feel mature, I always want to play and in those years I rejected the idea of turnover and the bench. Maybe it was also a lack of confidence in my abilities, I didn’t believe in myself 100%, but I have no regrets. – continues the class of ’94 revealing a couple of background stories – Three years ago Atalanta wanted me, but I said no because I didn’t think I was suited to that type of game. Last year I wanted to go to Juventus, but the clubs couldn’t reach an agreement, I was disappointed and I argued with the club because it was the right time.”
Then a look to the future, with a possible farewell in January: “If after these months I am 100% and the right offer arrives, I will leave. Otherwise I will stay here until June. We will evaluate with the club as always. – concludes Berardi – Champions League? I would like to hear music from the field, it is a deep ambition that I want to satisfy.”
