It is a matter of fact. The two players had mixed feelings over Arsenal.
The soccer fan community "Troll Football" shared a post titled "Legacy of Arsenal" on the 18th (Korea Standard Time). The post highlighted Eddie Nketiah, who left Arsenal ahead of this season, and Ricardo Calafiori, who joined Arsenal, along with a picture of Crystal Palace and Bologna winning.
An underdog rebellion has hit the European soccer community this season. Palace and Bologna also joined forces with the team. Palace defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the final of the English FA Cup in the 2024-25 season at Wembley Stadium in London, England, at 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday. As a result, the team has won a major championship trophy for the first time in 120 years since the foundation of the club in 1905.
Bologna also beat AC Milan 1-0 in the final round of Copa Italy in the 2024-25 season at Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy, at 4 a.m. on Saturday. With the victory, Bologna has escaped from its 51st-year reign since its Copa Italy victory in 1974.
The joys and sorrows of the player who "exited" Arsenal and the player who "joined" Arsenal were mixed. First, Nketiah smiled with joy. Nketiah moved to Palace with a transfer fee of 30 million pounds (about 57 billion won) left ahead of this season. He then played in 34 official matches, scoring five goals and two assists.
It is regrettable for Arsenal. Nketiah was from Arsenal's Sunggol Youth and made his professional debut for Arsenal in the 2017-18 season after playing for the Youth team. He played for Arsenal for seven seasons except for a short loan spell with Leeds United in the 2019-20 season.
Calafiori, on the other hand, started to smile bitterly. This is because he played for Bologna until the previous season. Calafiori stood out by scoring two goals and five assists in 33 matches for Bologna in the 2023-24 season. He was also selected as the member of the Italian national team, and displayed strong performance in Euro 2024. Arsenal then agreed to recruit him by paying a whopping 53 million euros (or 83 billion won) including the option. 스포츠토토
However, the team showed lackluster performance, contrary to expectations. The injury has hampered the team. It has missed 21 official matches so far. However, he has displayed good performance every time he plays in matches, raising expectations for the next season. He has garnered three goals and two assists in 28 official matches this season.
