Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal's Italian defender, has struggled with adapting to London's transportation culture since joining from Bologna in 2024. Rather than owning a luxury car like many footballers, the 23-year-old chooses to use a driver to navigate the city's notorious congestion. Calafiori finds London's traffic unbearable and expresses frustration with British driving culture, which he perceives as overly rigid and rule-bound compared to the more fluid driving styles in Italy. He criticizes how motorists follow rules excessively, resulting in inexplicable traffic jams. As a young player living independently in Central London rather than suburban areas near the training ground, Calafiori has had to adapt his daily routine significantly.
"I don't drive, but I get around with a driver. I prefer not to drive here. I don't have a car, but I can drive. I don't like how they drive here. They follow the rules too much and are a bit slow. Sometimes you see these big traffic jams for no reason."
