Hahah joking aside with the unavoidable deflection own goal. It's ridiculously impressive how in control he is with the ball for a CB. Just moves through any pressure, and makes penetrative passes unto the channels with precision. Not just safe side way passes that's the norm for CBs.
It’s definitely above average but not as clean as the hype makes you think

I honestly thought he was pretty decent against Spain which sais a lot given how everyone else played. Aside from Donarumma, Califiori and Barella - the Italian players looked awful but that is partly due to Spain's pressure and partly due to the lack of a proper game plan. In my view Donarumma was man of the match because it could have easily been a rout without him.
When you really think about it..donna and barella are the only top notch players italy has. Chiesa on his day is up there too... but other than that...everyone else is just bang on average.

Unreal gives up an OG but still team sees upside. These extended signing issues with Juve management is annoying. No we waste time resigning players like Rugani and MDS when we should just let them walk.

I made the mistake of going on X today to look for Calafiori stories, full of their fans wanking themselves to death from a rumour.
They would lose their minds if social media wasn't around. I came across football pages on instagram and they even put chiesa in man utd jersey.

We should be all over this

I know it's easy to knee jerk react over a few games but it seems pretty evident that he can actually play ball and is a more modern defender. He looks so calm under pressure already. That's pretty rare. Getting a solid defender isn't too difficult but finding one that can also play out from the back and not punt it is important

Plus you know.. Italian. Usually means we can keep him around as long as we want.
