Andrea Radrizzani responds to suggestions Leeds United are everyone's new 'second team'

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has spoken about his pride in the club after their positive impact since their return to the Premier League.

The Whites' style of play under Marcelo Bielsa has earned a wealth of plaudits, with Leeds making quite an impression after their long-awaited promotion back into the top-flight.

That has seen many name Leeds as their second team due to the exciting matches they are involved in, including two seven-goal thrillers already this term.

As a result, Radrizzani has been left delighted with the consensus many have come to but his planned journey for the club is far from over.

“Recently I’ve seen on social media... about how Leeds became a second-team for many youngsters in the country," he told BeIN Sports in an interview.

“Normally you choose the team with the best football and the best style of the team, so I’m very proud of that. We’re on the right way. I dream to take Leeds to Europe in time. One step at a time.”

Radrizzani has made no secret of his desire to bring European football back to Elland Road and believes Marcelo Bielsa has established a solid platform to build upon.

“This brand is well known everywhere so if we stay in the Premier League with the opportunity that this club can build... really, we can aim to stay just next to the top six.

“We have potential to grow over the next three to five years, and Bielsa has put in the foundations for even the future without him.”
