Riccardo Calafiori (Breakdown) 

The Iranian legend Nima himself! Nima please be kinder to us Arsenal fans, we are not all so bad! ❤

Its always lovely to see Nima on this pod

Doo doo roo doo doood doood Nima! As soon as I heard Calafiori’s connection to us a couple weeks ago, I said this video is in the making! As always, great analysis and explanation!

Best breakdown I've seen of this player. Excellent video!

An Italian player not playing for one of the Milan clubs foregoing Juve is huge. Him wanting to join a young hungry group of players who want to win shows his character. Along with everything he’s already been through at a young age, I can see this player becoming great. I hope to see him in North London for many years to come 🙏

I know before watching this will make me want him at arsenal immediately 😅

Love you FK and love Nima’s contributions to your breakdowns. Thanks for blessing us with some great content! Roll on the season!

It’s been a long time my friend. Excited to see you this transfer window

I am kinda sure Calafiori is being brought in to replace Gabriel because once Timber is fit, he automatically starts at LB, MA loves White too much to meddle. Calafiori doesn't invert so that rules him out of playing FB positions. Saliba is the best defender so he ofc stays.

I been waiting ages for this

Good to have Nima back, I rewatched his last appearance scouting Tommyasu.

I haven’t watched your videos since last season Good vids bro

Excellent. Thanks, guys.

Love Nima - very knowledgeable and smart, on football matters and beyond .....

Pure Quality this one. Well done you both 👌🏼

Love the insight. This guy making me excited :)

Watching the latte firm on my commute to work this morning..with a latte in hand😂😅

Quality content!

Legend meets legend on latte firm ♥️🤝🏽

Great show. Nima is a great guest. He speaks like a university professor.

Breakdowns are back??? We are soooooo back baby roll on season 24/25

A backline of White, Saliba, Gabriel and Calafiori… I pity the attackers who are going to try to score on those four and that’s not to mention Rice who’s shielding them in front. Arteta is building a physically imposing team similar to the Invincibles. The future is bright.

Quality as always fk

The man the myth the legend, Nima himself.

It seems obvious to me that Mikel will ask Calafiori to do exactly what he does at Bologna. He will be our left sided Timber, yes he might line up at left back but he will be given the licence to roam, drive out from the back, progress the ball through the middle & pop up around the box. He is a midfielder that plays as a defender. He brings unpredictability on the ball & assurance off the ball.

Well done Nima and FK. Great breakdown!

Love me some nima

Great show Fk ❤

This is a quality break down

love this vid....always go to hear informed voices from outside our own league. Artets is cooking fe reel

Good job nima 👍

Got laughed at and ridiculed on the Zinchenko version of this. Knew then it wasnt going to work. Kaya where are you now?

Nima is a killler!

All Hail the Almighty Algorithm ☯️🔥

Its like we having another Rice at the left back. Rice slightly better experienced.

Nima’s description of how he sees MA’s story shows he gets it. RC IMO will help AFC cope better with mid blocks and to a smaller extent low blocks. He can drive into midfield positions to put the squeeze on teams who choose the game plan of sitting back and hit on the counter, keeping opposing players locked in to maintain pressure and gain the flanks. Being more advanced he can also help recover the ball up higher should the ball be lost to prevent turnovers. He will also help free Rice to venture forward and help produce overloads and get the ball into dangerous zones. His desire to run at opposing players can also carve out chances if opponents spread out to cover the flanks. Saliba and Gabriel has done some of these runs but IMO MA probably prefers to keep Saliba in defence and as cover in case RC fails. For games vs better teams, IMO Timber is preferred

welcome to cfc

whilst i like Nima on the Italian Podcast he did talk some absolute bullshit on here about Arteta taking Arsenal where they are now "without splashing the cash" 😂 for truth Arteta has spent £870m. that converts to more than 1 BILLION euros 🤣🤣🤣🤣 however, you are totally correct to be excited to sign Calafiori (if everything works), i am Roma supporter and he always had great potential. is just a disgrace that our ex-sporting director (the idiot tiago pinto now at bournemouth) thought it was good idea to sell him for only 2.5m and then replace him with Diego Llorente on loan from Leeds🤬 if i am honest Calafiori is already too good for Arsenal, it is clear that he could play for Real madrid no problem but his agent wants his money immediately so he goes to yuor english money league. i hope he does well and that 1 day he returns to Roma
