During Bologna’s Champions League party after the match against Juventus, Riccardo Calafiori said he was locked in the cupboard by his teammates to try to encourage the first goals.
Riccardo Calafiori he was the great protagonist of Bologna-Juventus, and of the entire season of the Emilians. The defender who ended up in the Bianconeri’s transfer sights even scored a brace against Szczesny, thus putting the icing on the cake of his year. In fact, in the former Rome, only the goal was missingand for this reason they and their companions also thought of a joking and useless superstitious ritual to unblock themselves.
Calafiori and De Silvestri’s prophecy before Juventus
Everything was told after the 3-3 draw against what could be his next team, when the celebration took place at the Dall’Ara to win the Champions League. Calafiori presented himself to the microphones of DAZN in the company of De Silvestri and Orsolini, unleashed. The former Lazio senator himself pleasantly reminded Calafiori: “Today we had coffee and I said to you: ‘Oh it’s time to score a goal’ and you told me ‘no, it’s too late’. Instead after 3 minutes…”.

At that point the teammate revealed that he had been pleasantly locked in a wardrobe for a few seconds before Bologna-Juve. A situation that makes no sense, but jokingly associated with the possibility of scoring in the penultimate match of the season, before celebrating the Champions League with the fans. These are his words: “Yes but tell him what we did to make me score goals. There was this superstitious anecdote. I put myself in a cupboard for 5 seconds, closed it and they told me ‘if you do it, you score a goal‘”.

Both De Silvestri and Orsolini, following the joke, underlined how Calafiori had actually had to keep silent and not reveal everything: “But you don’t have to say that, brother. So you said it all. We told him not to say it.”. Calafiori was too happy not to reveal what happened, confirming the good atmosphere inside the locker room: “No no I have to say everything“.
Calafiori and his girlfriend’s intrusion during the interview
A magical evening for Calafiori who experienced another particular moment while he was on the pitch at DAZN’s microphones.
