"Il Giornale rated Calafiori 6/10, stating, 'Not very busy in the defensive phase, he does not participate much in the offensive phase.'"
"Quotidiano Sport also gave him a 6/10, commenting, 'He gives little away in the offensive phase, and perhaps that's why it's difficult to break through on that side.'"
"Calcio Mercato rated him 6.5/10, noting, 'A bit timid in the first 45 minutes, he released his charisma in the second half by providing overlapping solutions on the left.'"
