Corradi takes swipe at Pearce - Manchester City MAD

 

Corradi takes swipe at Pearce

Last updated : 26 July 2007 By Ben Collins
As City's season petered out after Christmas, skipper Richard Dunne questioned the effort of some of Pearce's foreign signings, including Corradi.

Yet the Italian striker does not hold a grudge against Dunney - instead he put City's woes last season down to the boss.

"I have no problem with Richard Dunne," Corradi told the Manchester Evening News.

"Last season there was a lack of leadership in the dressing room - not from him - that meant when things went wrong everyone was `running' in different directions.

"To make us a force in the Premiership everyone has to run in the same direction and that is happening now. Players are able to go to Eriksson or the coaches if they have a problem or an opinion."

Sven-Goran Eriksson's arrival as Pearce's successor has revived the City squad, none more so than Corradi.

The former Valencia and Lazio striker scored just 3 goals in 31 games last season but has already notched 3 in 3 pre-season games under the new Blues boss.

"It has been a good start to pre-season and we are enjoying it," he added. "There is more freedom and expression in our play."
