Calafiori causes a stir with 'throw-in lesson'

The moment Calafiori learned to throw-in caused a stir online, but his impressive form is what makes him one of Arsenal's brightest signings this season.

Calafiori is the mainstay on Arsenal's left flank.

Arsenal had a convincing 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest of coach Ange Postecoglou in round 4 of the Premier League on the evening of September 13, but besides Martin Zubimendi's double and Viktor Gyokeres' decisive goal, the focus belonged to Riccardo Calafiori - in a special way.

In the first half, the Italian left-back was unexpectedly “taught” by the assistant linesman on the field how to execute a legal throw-in. The moment lasted about 25 seconds, with the referee patiently demonstrating each move, and Calafiori jokingly following along, making the audience in the stands and the online community burst into laughter.

However, it is not enough to just look at Calafiori through that humorous situation. Because behind the witty cover, he is proving himself to be one of Arsenal's most valuable contracts.

After just four Premier League games, the 23-year-old has scored once, assisted twice and helped the Gunners keep three clean sheets. His quick integration shows his incredible adaptability to the toughest environment in the world .

Not only solid in defense, Calafiori also brings explosion in attack.

Not only solid in defense, Calafiori also brings explosiveness in attack. His speedy runs up the flank, decisive passes and direct finishing ability make him an unexpected drill on the left wing. Mikel Arteta seems to have found a versatile player, both providing solid cover and creating breakthroughs when needed.

Arsenal have struggled for many seasons to stabilize the left wing after the departure of their previous key defenders. Now, Calafiori has not only filled the void, but also elevated that position to a fulcrum. With his mature form, he promises to be an important factor in the two-horse race with Liverpool for the Premier League title.

The "throw-in lesson" moment may still be recalled as a funny anecdote, but behind it is the image of a mature, confident Calafiori who is increasingly becoming an indispensable name at Emirates.
