Federico Chiesa: Arne Slot Confirms He's 'Ready for More Minutes'
Chiesa's Continuous Progress Federico Chiesa has shown consistent improvement since joining Liverpool, with each match displaying clear progress, especially his standout performance against PSV. In that match, the Italian winger not only played the full 90 minutes but also played a key role by winning a penalty converted by Cody Gakpo and having more shots than any other Liverpool player.
Arne Slot: Chiesa 'Ready for More Minutes' Arne Slot, during his press conference ahead of the next match, highlighted that Chiesa is "ready for more minutes," pointing out that if he can complete 90 minutes in such a demanding competition as the UEFA Champions League, he is prepared for more playing time in the Premier League as well. However, Slot acknowledged that Chiesa is competing for a spot with high-quality players like Luis Díaz, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Núñez, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota, all of whom are also in excellent form.
Chiesa's Hard Work The coach also noted that the last time Chiesa played 90 minutes in an important match was six or seven months ago when Italy lost to Switzerland in the Euro 2020. For Chiesa, being able to complete 90 minutes is a significant step forward, thanks to the hard work of Liverpool's coaching and medical staff, who have helped him improve his stamina without needing to play too many friendly matches.
A Bright Future at Liverpool Although Chiesa is unlikely to be a starter every week at Anfield due to the competition in his position, Slot made it clear that his signing was aimed at adding quality to the team, not necessarily to be in the starting eleven every week. If he continues to improve his fitness and performances, he could become a key player for Liverpool in the final stretch of the season.
Chiesa's Versatility Chiesa has played on both the left and right wings, and his versatility gives him options within Liverpool's attack. Although he is unlikely to displace Mohamed Salah from the right wing, opportunities in other positions could arise as the season progresses.
