A bit too violent
Good food, funny jokes, priceless points | Gaetano Berardi writes for TSB
Meet TSB’s new columnist, Gaetano Berardi himself. This season Bera is taking time out from studying for his coaching qualifications to talk us through his memories of playing for Leeds, and in this issue, Christmas dinner with Bielsa.
It’s going to be my first Christmas not being a professional football player for the first time since I was seventeen. It’s a bit strange, but I have no pressure with my diet at least, so it’s not too bad. I will enjoy it with my whole family, which didn’t happen very often during my career. It’s part of the job when you’re a professional footballer. You get used to it.
