The Gunners have come close to winning the title over the past two seasons, having fought until the final game last year but fell short again. โปรโมชั่น ufabet Ferdinand believes Calafiori’s arrival will help address the team’s weaknesses and help Mikel Arteta’s side reach the final.
“I think it’s difficult to play against City because they’ve had a great success in the last four seasons, they’ve set new standards, new records, four consecutive titles,” Rio told TNT Sports.
“But I think Arsenal, with Calafiori coming in who plays on the left, if he plays and holds space, I think he’s a great player, having played at Bologna under Thiago Motta, he understands the football that Arteta wants to play.”
“I think that’s the weakest point in the team, he will help the team to be more balanced and stable. So I choose Arsenal to be the champion, but there must be hunger too.”
