Saturday night’s victory of the Azzurri on Albania also bears the name of Riccardo Calafiori. The Bologna defender, in his third outing with the senior national team, he convinced everyone thanks to a performance of the highest level. If it hadn’t been for that very risky final blunder on Manaj (hypnotized by Donnarumma) Riccardo’s match would have come close to perfection.
117 balls played, 6 out of 9 duels won, 3 interceptions and 5 possessions gained. For a guy who was playing his first match of his first European Championship with his national team, those aren’t exactly bad numbers…
Speaking of numbers…
In Bologna there is great excitement and pride for their adopted son: the post on Instagram of the rossoblù club complete with “Proud” as a description, underlines all the pride that can be felt in Casteldebole.
Certainly, however, in Turin they are half happy: seeing a player you’ve followed for a long time play like this makes you think you’re on the right path, on the other side though the economic request of the selling club (even if no one in Casteldebole had the intention of freeing him) gets up inevitably. Bolognawhich makes Calafiori a pillar, would be anyway ready to listen to offers only from 40/50 million euros upwardsno less.
Side Juventus, on the other hand, It’s no secret that Motta is pushing to have Riccardo with him, but Bologna is certainly not willing to give this gift to its former leader. For this reason it is easy for the Bianconeri to look around: Kiwior from Arsenal or Wendell from Porto are the main names.
A look at the other rossoblùs
Yesterday, then, Aebischer, Freuler and Ndoye took the field with Switzerland And Urbanski with Poland. The first three played and won 1-3 against Hungary: per Aebischer goals and assistsFor Ndoye and Freuler 86′ played.
Urbanskihowever, lost 2-1 against the Netherlands: despite the defeat, the young rossoblù he played 55′ and held the pitch well and not disfiguring, showing good vision of the game and some lunges. It’s logical that at 19 there is a lot to improve, but time is all on his side.
