Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "If I have to compare the Bologna defender to a player from the past, the first thought goes to a young Sergio Ramos.
“In 2006/07, in my second stint on the Real Madrid bench, I coached the Spaniard, who had arrived the previous season from Sevilla.
“Calafiori, just like Ramos, transformed from a full-back into a centre-back. And I can assure you that Sergio Ramos, as nasty as we remember him now, became that way over time.”
