He played and scored in the game. That Arteta was willing to risk him by playing him in a big game like the one against City should have shown how much he cares about him. He did a great job of repaying that trust with a goal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12 ai-track\" data-ai=\"WzEyLDAsIkFkc2Vuc2UgLSBJbnJlYWQiLCIiLDJd\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.standard.co.uk\/2024\/09\/29\/8\/21\/calafiori-Cropped.jpeg?width=1200&amp;height=900&amp;fit=crop\" alt=\"Mikel Arteta makes Riccardo Calafiori red card admission as Arsenal FC  avoid 'clear' red card | Evening Standard\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Italian defender started at left back again this weekend when Leicester came to the Emirates Stadium, hoping to build on his good start. As Arteta had faith in Ricci, he did a great job of making the left side play its best. Even though he was playing left back, the Italian controlled Arsenal\u2019s left wing by keeping the ball at LCM or sometimes overlapping Gabriel Martinelli.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-track\" data-ai=\"WzIsMCwiTUdJRCBJbkFydGljbGVzIDQyIC0gc2F1IDUgNyIsIiIsNF0=\">\n<div id=\"M887096ScriptRootC1467584_06117\" class=\"eyeo\">\n<div id=\"MarketGidComposite1467584_06117\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GYkk76EXcAAPuCe.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan on X: &quot;2 Calafiori starts = Martinelli 3 g\/a. https:\/\/t.co\/I0RydjBQMt&quot;  \/ X\" align=\"center\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even though it looked like he was playing on his own, the Arsenal defence was fine.
