What Italy’s media honestly felt about Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori after watching him vs Israel

The 22-year-old mostly plays as a left-back for Arsenal, but he is naturally a central defender. He played a bit of a hybrid role on Monday night, which is similar to the job he does for Mikel Arteta.

Calafiori kept occupying a central midfield position when Italy were in possession. He was brilliant in taking up free space and made it extremely difficult for Israel to mark him.

However, it was a solid display from Calafiori, and his country’s media seem to be very impressed with his performance.
