Leeds United defender Gaetano Berardi has hailed the fighting spirit of Liam Cooper, Ezgjan Alioski, Kalvin Phillips and Adam Forshaw inside the Whites' dressing room.
Berardi made the admission about his four teammates during a Q&A video shared on the club's Twitter account over the weekend.
Berardi, renowned for his passion and desire to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in, is not afraid to get his kit dirty and put his body on the line for the Whites.
And it appears as though the same can be said for skipper Cooper, left-back Alioski and midfield duo Phillips and Forshaw.
"I would say Kalvin [Phillips] is really hard. He is a good fighter," Berardi, who will be desperate to play a part in Leeds' charge towards the Premier League once the Championship campaign resumes later this month, said.
"Coops [Cooper] is also a good fighter. Gjanni as well. Gjanni doesn't look like a hard guy but he is. He has plenty of fight, always.
"Adam Forshaw as well. He is not with us at the moment [due to injury] but he is a good fighter as well."
While it is no secret Leeds' squad is equipped with players that will give everything they have got for the cause, the club is also blessed to have supporters that will offer extreme amounts of encouragement to the players, both at Elland Road and away from home.
And it is that sheer level of support that makes such a huge difference to the players' confidence when they are in need of a boost, as Berardi outlined what it is like to play in front of the home crowd at Elland Road.
"For us, as players, it is a good feeling when we play at home. It makes you feel stronger, especially when you see the stadium full and the crowd going mad when we are doing well in the games," added the defender.
"It is an unbelievable feeling. I cannot remember an atmosphere like we get in Leeds at another stadium."
