Bologna’s super season also depends on their central defenders, who have been almost perfect so far.
John Lucumi, Sam Beukema And Riccardo Calafiori: the rossoblù trio of central defenders has proven to be a guarantee during the season, as demonstrated by the only 26 goals conceded so far.
The first is a dot of Sartori since his time at Atalanta, so much so that the sporting director had already begun to explore the field when he was in charge of the Nerazzurri’s technical area, but only during his arrival in Bologna he managed to complete the shot. Quick and clean in interventions: Lucumi he proved to be an excellent defender, so much so that he attracted the interest of Atletico Madrid. Beukemahowever, was discovered during a visit to Holland by the same Sartori and from Di Vaio, who then decided to take him from Holland for around 7 million euros. Him, unlike Lucumi, is less fast and less technical but more of a scorer and attentive to details: he sticks to the attacker and doesn’t let him breathe. It adds to them Riccardo Calafiori, who is courted by many Serie A and European teams. They are the 3 musketeers of Mottawho when called upon always manage to make their contribution, as seen in the match against Roma.
