@@altee8256 like he didn't let out a rocket from 25m with the left foot in the first 3 seconds of the video. He literally touches the ball with the left foot twice as often.
@@altee8256 I was just reaffirming your statement because I agree with you. I know it's rare but sometimes people just say "Yep, you are very much right about that, sir, I think the same thing."
As a Roma fan I'm very happy to see him succeed after the terrible injury he suffered. He was a left back but had to adapt to the CB position after moving on from Roma. The club decided he had lost his potential but I guess everything worked for the best. Hope he'll be back
arteta will waste and ultimately ruin this talent. Just like he has with Martinelli, Saka, ESR, Nketiah. All great talents just being subordinated to cogs in an ineffective system that bottles it every time.
@@julianjdoggYou sound very stupid Arteta has improved every single one of those players and in what world is losing a title to City by a mere 2 points a bottle? By thay logic Liverpool have bottled every single season except 2020
was pretty good at FC Basel and one of the best player in our league i was sure that he has good future if he didnt give up on his perspectives - he will be an amazing player formally he is a defender, but could play on pretty much any position, even as a striker very versotile player
He was a midfielder. Thiago Motta invented him as a central back in Bologna. This year he had a stratospheric season. He can also play in midfield as he did in Roma
I mean he's played in Centre Back but I discovered him in Football Manager as a Left Back and he's played Left Back a lot so he has good technique going forward.
The choice he made in the Croatia match was sooo smart and ballsy, it was really the only way to put Italy on a numerical advantage in the offensive raid, to find the space for one and only one player to enter through, but he had to do it quickly, unexpectedly. EVERY other player not probably in this team but in Italy's history would have the ball passed forward. Still can't fathom how good he was on these 3 matches, he kinda doesn't deserve to play for such a bad Italy, he deserves to play at the top.
@@tshepomakoro66 you defo have been under a rock, did you not see his MATCH WINNING BLOCK vs Australia in the WORLD CUP or his GOAL vs Ecuador 5 days ago in the COPA AMERICA. You're just another deluded gooner I don't blame you it's in your DNA hence you can't help it lol
Well, I know that it is common to think that a central defender does not have as good technique as a midfielder or an attacker, but there are factors that cause players like Calafiori to appear, maybe play in different prospects, for example, I usually play Futsal, in futsal, in addition to being exhausting, the margin for error is minimal and you have to maintain good technique to not lose the ball no matter if you are defender and when I play 11-a-side soccer, you don't feel the pressure and it looks as if it were even easier to control the ball, so There, the one who highlights the technique, we are talking about an Italian defender, surely they have practices that help them have that technique regardless of their position.
Man I want him at Real Madrid so much, we need a CB ASAP, Alaba is out for long, Nacho left us, Militao is always injured... Calafiori and Rudiger would be an insane CB partnership
@@Boredfreestyles we need a CB still hahahah, our attack and midfield is beyond stacked, but our defense is very questionable at the moment (I'm sure the board is aware of it xd)
Come on guys: he's just an average noone like 80% of today's Italy squad (which is sad by me). The fact that he screwed up and then was lucky enough to kind of "save the game" only prolongued the suffering for us as viewers and for Italy as a team. Just losing to Croatians and going home was lesser evil for everyone, Italy included IMHO
To be honest there is nothing too special. He has some moments when his playstyle and dribbling is similar to John Stones. But what's truly unusual about him that he doesn't really swing his leg like other players for powerful shots but still has a decent power output. It's pretty good for finishing since there is less time to react and opponents have a harder time predicting because he doesn't telegraph his shots. It's a pretty often used technique by strikers like Eto'o, Haaland and Alex Pereira... He could be good for a team where they have high possession and high defending block or a team where one of the 2-3 centre backs got more attacking freedom than the usual. He is looking like a player like a hybrid defender like Pique, Zinchenko or Stones who are not great when it comes to defending but have great abilities when they go forward and when the team has high possession. In my opinion it could work out very well for him in a suited system or he can be worse than Cucurella if he will play a very limited role in a team with low block.
do a video on oosterwolde bro. he is a left back originated centreback that can dribble, pass, shoot and pretty much anything else and he is fast while being 1.89 cm and he is pretty strong physically
