Giuseppe Bellusci
Giuseppe Bellusci (born 21 August 1989) is an Italian professional football player who plays as a centre-back for Serie D club Recanatese.
A former Italy under-21 international, Bellusci was nicknamed "The Warrior" by Catania fans.
On 12 August 2014, Bellusci signed a one-year loan deal with the option of a permanent deal with English club Leeds United. His debut was delayed due to the Italian bank holiday Ferragosto on 15 August, leading to international clearance not arriving in time for the following day's fixture against Middlesbrough. On 21 August 2014, Bellusci signed a permanent deal with Leeds United until June 2018, for a fee of around £1.6 million.
On 23 August, Bellusci made his Leeds debut against Watford in a 4–1 defeat at Vicarage Road, with Bellusci giving away a penalty and earning a straight red card. Bellusci made his home debut at Elland Road, on his return from suspension on 30 August, against Bolton Wanderers. He scored his first goal in England on 16 September 2014 with a free-kick against Bournemouth in a 3–1 win. On 4 October, Bellusci equalised with a left-footed volley in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield Wednesday.
On 22 December, Bellusci was charged by The FA on an allegation of using racist language towards Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome during the teams' 1–1 draw on 21 October; Bellusci and Leeds United denied the allegations. On 7 February 2015, at an FA hearing, Bellusci was found 'not guilty', as he had threatened Jerome in Italian to give him a black eye, with the word nero being misheard.
On 20 January, Bellusci was given a straight red card when he gave away a penalty against Bournemouth, however pictures showed the foul to be outside the box, Bournemouth striker Yann Kermorgant missed the resulting penalty to earn Leeds a 1–0 victory.[citation needed] The red card was Bellusci's second red card of the season which resulted in an automatic two-match ban.
On 18 April 2015, Bellusci was one of six Massimo Cellino signings (alongside Mirco Antenucci, Marco Silvestri, Souleymane Doukara, Dario Del Fabro, Edgar Çani) who controversially pulled out of the squad with an 'injury' the day before a 2–1 loss against Charlton Athletic.
On 2 May 2015, Bellusci's free-kick against Bournemouth was nominated for Leeds United's goal of the season at the official end of 2014–15 season awards ceremony, but lost out to eventual winner Rudy Austin's volleyed goal against Watford.
