Ricardo Calafior, who was signed by Arsenal in this summer's transfer window, has sent Arteta a warning.
Ricardo Calafior sent a clear message to coach Mikel Arteta at a time when he has yet to get a chance to start at Arsenal.
Italian international defender Calafiori missed the match against Israel after sustaining a horrific injury sustained against France during the A-match break in September. Calafiori, who left his international camp early for London and underwent a medical test, is eyeing a chance to start for Arsenal after a successful recovery.
Calafiori was introduced in the second half of the Champions League match against Atalanta during the week. His versatility was once again in the spotlight as wing-back Calafiori came inside from a wide area as he provided Arsenal with more depth and options.
Calafior did not get a chance to play in the north London derby against Tottenham, but insisted he was prepared for the Premier League's harsh conditions and should be used as a starter.
It's a big challenge, but I already knew it before I came, and I can provide my quality and skills to the team, and I'm willing to do that, Calafiori said. I'm sure I can give more. Competition is good because it pushes everyone in training and in matches as well. I've already adjusted. My teammates have treated me well, and now it's my turn to go and play.
Calafior insisted Arsenal were ready for Monday's game against Manchester City and warned they had the faith and power to reach the top.
Calafiori said, I believe we can win for sure. We have to win every game. That is our belief and strength. We can do it. I already know Man City well. There's no need for anyone to tell me about Man City, we all know Man City well.
He continued, But we have to focus on ourselves and we don't have to talk about them because we can beat them if we do well. We have a good spirit and a good team and we have to think about this game because it is going to be really tough. 동행복권파워볼
