Style of play
Calabria is a quick full-back who likes to go forward to support attacking moves. His strong attacking runs caused problems for Juventus in the 2016 Coppa Italia Final. Defensively, his positioning, decision-making, and tackling is commendable. With good pace, he also can recover to his defensive position quickly.
