With a 4-1 win over Israel, Italy got back to winning ways in the Nations League.
Calafiori, a star player for Arsenal, played on the left side of Italy’s back three. He had another great game, touching the ball 86 times and throwing the ball 96% of the time.
At the Stadio Friuli, the Azzurri were the best team. Giovanni Di Lorenzo scored two goals in the second half to make Luciano Spalletti’s team stand out.
The defensive player was very versatile and finished seven long balls successfully (100% success rate). He also won all of his aerial duels. During the game, he also made five gains.
Calafiori has had a great start to his career with the Italian national team, and he has already proven himself to be a player for them.
In the same way, the 22-year-old has impressed the Gunners. In his first game in the Premier League, against Manchester City, he made an amazing wondergoal.
His consistent play has made him a fan favorite among Arsenal fans. He has started the last five games for the team in all categories.
The star, who is worth £38 million, should keep his spot at left back when the Gunners play Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium.
Chelsea is only one point behind Liverpool in first place and could pass them to move ahead. On Sunday, the Reds play Chelsea, which will be tough.
After that, Arsenal will host Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. At the end of October, they will meet Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Once this is over, they will go to Preston North End for the Carabao Cup, Newcastle United, Inter Milan for the Champions League, and Chelsea before the next break for internationals.
Since Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu might be hurt, Calafiori could play left back all the time. The second team seems to have lost against Southampton.
