"He's only 22" Yeah his age makes it even more impressive, because usually Italy likes to play experienced CB. Look at the last Euros, wth 37 year old Chiellini and 34 year old Bonucci. So to be Italy's starting CB at 22 is amazing
I mean you can't bench Chiellini and Bonucci even at that age to let other CBs play. And at that time Bastoni was not developed yet, Scalvini was only a promise young player and the rest of the defenders were worse than Chiellini and Bonucci.
He wasn't really hyped at Bologna he was rated as a defender who can play out form the back really well but isn't that strong defensively. People are doing the typical thing of comparing him to players he looks like rather than ones he plays like. Same nonsense where people compare Tonali to Pirlo or Joao Felix to Kaka.
@@ronmastrio2798 you are joking, no one compared Tonali to kaka,pirloetc., Tonali aggression is similar to Gattuso, that's the reason Tonali is compared to Gattuso but KAKA, pirlo style is not same as Tonali. You that's à big joke 🤣🤣🤣
@@abdulkhaveshaik8314yes but it's about levels, at arsenal you need to be top class as they have one of the best scenes around, arguably THE best in eu. Bologna are a bit below that, the expectation is you aren't going to be a good
Calafiori, Bastoni, Buogiorno, Scalvini. Italy's CB duo is sorted for the next 3 major tournaments, and with Cambiasso and Dimarco, there LB position is also looking good. Di Lorenzo is getting older for the RB spot but i'm sure they'll find a replacement
@@IlPuglieseDoc_TLG He is a LB, that gets adapted to a left Midfielder in the 3-5-2. You see that often in italy, as tge 3-5-2 turns to a 5-3-2 when the opponent has the ball
Ya, can't deny, bro is a model, surely some sponsor gives him a deal to market something. But did recently see a vod of him n younger & his hair was shirt, looked weird shorter
He has the elegance and pitch awareness of the greats. always plays heads up. Still needs to get better physical impact on set pieces from and corner kicks and in general aerial play. But he has what it takes
I'm sure that Nesta and Maldini gave up a few own goals in their career as well, but Calafiori just did so as well. Italy should still qualify for the KOs, especially since Croatia are the final boss in the WC, but a peasant in the Euros
Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Benarrivo, Torricelli, Fernando Couto, Blanc, Brehme, Galli, Zambrotta, Mihajlović, Sottil, Galante, Lanna, Kaladze, Jankulovski, Šimić, Ujfaluši, Oddo… I miss those Serie A hairy defenders…
@@wolf-hw8qd Yeah, bro. Basically all great Italian players have had long hair (at least for a season) during the 90s and 00s: Di Canio, Conte, Del Piero, Gattuso, Zola, Vieri, Donadoni, Signori, Cassano, Albertini, C. Zanetti, Perrotta, Panucci, Ambrosini, Mancini, Fiore, Comoranesi, Zambrotta, Buffon, De Rossi, Delvecchio, Tommasi, Stroppa, Ventola, Vialli, Fresi, Costacurta, Doni, Toni, Pazzini, Mussi, Dino Baggio, Casiraghi… It’s much easier to remember who haven’t had hair.
You also forgot to mention how in the match before the last match of the season he scored a brace against juve which were the only goals he scored that season which gave them a 3-0 lead but then he got subbed of on the 75th min and in 10 minutes juve scored 3 to equalize
I miss pre 2010s Italy for their formidable and unstoppable defences. After 2006 they no longer seemed to have the same quality in defence and looked mediocre since then. But now Italy's defence looks to be improving with several rising young defence stars. Hoping this means Italy rises to challenge for world cups again.
I can see the massive potential Calafiori has, at the ripe age of 22 he might have one of the craziest primes yet to be seen, already putting up a good performance for his first ever international tournament.
Ciao Ricky è stato bellissimo vederti tutto l'anno, resterai sempre nei nostri cuori. Lo scavetto con la Juve e la corsa sotto di noi è stato il momento più bello della mia vita. GRAZIE!!!

"We are good at making good tacticians, but really bad at making football players" - Fabio Caressa (A very known italian commentator) What he means by that is the focus of italian football school on tactics and intelligent plays instead of technique and quality.

A pride we shouldn't be too proud of though.
