(sabasports resport) Barrera and Chiesa Jr. were widely praised for their performances in Italy’s game against Albania. However, the outstanding performance of a young player can not be ignored, he is Carafiori.
Carafiori’s solid performance at the back laid the foundation for Italy’s victory. In the absence of a number of main defenders due to injury, Carafiori was called upon to show outstanding defensive ability. His performance in the game was called “a different kind of shot to fame”.
Carafiori started out as a full-back, but as he got older and his size changed, he began to have the potential to play in central defence. This game, coach Spalletti gave him a chance, Carafiori did not disappoint the trust, delivered a satisfactory answer.
The future of Carafiori is under scrutiny after this match. He has shown he has what it takes to play at the top. Next, he can consider a move to a bigger club and continue to improve his career.
The rise of Carafiori has added new hope to the Italian defence and more expectations for the fans.
