Leeds United will face Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road in the Championship this afternoon.

Imre Varadi gave his take on Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani’s recent comments on the players on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (6:53pm, March 16, 2018).

In an interview with talkSPORT earlier this week, Leeds chairman Radrizzani was hugely critical of the players.

The Italian businessman stated that the players lacked commitment, passion and spirit during the Championship match against Middlesbrough away from home at the Riverside Stadium on March 2.

Radrizzani added that he does not want players at Leeds who do not show passion and commitment.

Former Leeds forward Varadi, 58, thinks that the chairman made the comments to spark a reaction from the players for today’s match.

Leeds will take on Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road in the Championship this afternoon.

Varadi said on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (6:53pm, March 16, 2018): “I think he is looking for a big reaction from the players and he wants to win that game obviously.”

Criticism justified

Radrizzani’s comments were very strong, but Leeds fans will agree with his analysis.

The performances of many of the players in recent weeks have been hugely disappointing, which is why the Whites are virtually out of the running for the Championship playoffs this season.
