The former Bologna stop is back in Italy this week with the Azzurri team.
“Thiago Motta first, when Luciano Spalletti and Mikel Arteta all changed me, in terms of my vision, the spaces to occupy, everything,” Calafiori told Rivista Uncici Magazine.
“I think there are many defenders with my characteristics that are probably even better, but I do a lot of work outside the field and maybe that makes the difference.
“There are many things that I still don't know how to do. I want to continue to play in as many different roles as possible. For now I know two, but I have always been passionate about midfielders and would like to learn to play there.”
Calafiori added about his problems with the former club Roma: “At that time I felt abandoned, but now I don't keep a resort against Roma. It is not easy for a club to predict the career path of such a young player, and if they already have many others in that role, they have to make choices.
“They didn't believe in me, but that's fine, there are no hard feelings. Of course Roma represents a big and important part of my life and career, so I still have only positive thoughts.”
