Berardi: ‘Closer to Juventus’

By Football Italia staff

Domenico Berardi admits he was “closer to Juventus” than Inter, and says Alessandro Del Piero "always impressed me".

The forward opted to stay with Sassuolo in the summer, but has missed several months of the season with a knee injury.

“I had a difficult time, but thanks to the doctors I got through it,” Berardi told Sky.

“I’m better now and I hope to help Sassuolo do something more. Juventus and Inter? I’ve been closer to Juventus.

“Eusebio Di Francesco? We have an excellent relationship. We have ambitions and he has ambitions too, and it’s right that he could go to a big club in future.

“Who do I see myself in? In Del Piero, because he always impressed me with the way he played.”
