- Arne Slot was speaking about Federico Chiesa at his pre-match press conference before Liverpool 2-1 Lille in the Champions League.
Chiesa came on for Luis Diaz in the 75th minute of the match and looked dangerous from the left wing.

i've kinda fallen in love with Chiesa. His unabandoned glee over both of Darwin's goals I will never forget.
Me too
He is still is awe he plays for Liverpool....you can see it was his dream come true
Totally.. so good to see him chase the goal scorers down to celebrate.. like a true gladiator winning the crown is key... Go on son!!
And running onto the pitch to celebrate with Harvey! He had a great game in the 20 mins he got. Couple great shots on target amd that assist for Darwin - just shame was typical Darwin to end up being offside 😅❤
As a Juventus supporter, I miss him and still can’t believe he was forced out of our project. Really hope he gets more minutes at Liverpool and I’m cheering for you guys to do well
I just love Chiesa. He has an aura of a world class player
He is world class, just inhibited by injuries
Two shots on goal against Lille forcing two good saves, that’s a statement, I think he will play a big part this season
Yh but Slot gonna block that
Federico chiesa is purely in love with liverpool his joy when Nunez scored was purely amazing❤❤❤ give him more minutes in the field he will be the best of himself
When his boot, kicks the ball, hits-the-back-of-the-net - that's Chiesaaah
When his smile, lights the sky, and-his-arms-fly-up-high - that's Chiesaaah
Chiesa had some super shots against Lile. He’s getting sharper.
One thing Chiesa does do is actually makes the opposition keeper work harder because he's on target
Federico Chiesa was really good put a good shift in couple of good shots on target! YNWA
Agreed
Chiesa can play, we all seen him at the Euros when italy won it.. He is class....play him in the CL . Rest the Egyptian King...
CL is to big for him.. Let him go step by step
If we're to win the league, a strong bench will be really important. That we can call on players like Endo, Harvey, Chiesa, Tsimikas, Joe Gomez, is a big plus.
Amici miei del Liverpool, Federico vi aiuterà a raggiungere i vostri obiettivi. È un ragazzo straordinario. Ha rifiutato varie offerte in giro per l'Europa per giocarsi le sue carte con i Reds.
*_FORZA LIVERPOOL_*
Your comment that Federico Chiesa is an "amazing guy" is absolutely verified by his celebration of Nunez's goal. And it is good to know that he turned down offers prior to accepting ours. Thanks for that information.
I know he’s had injuries recently & it’s for this reason he shouldn’t be rushed back. I completely agree with you about quality & I’m very glad he came to Liverpool ❤️🇮🇹
In Italy, Milan, Inter and Roma have probed and asked Liverpool for a loan until the end of the season, but Federico himself refused, he wants to prove his worth to the Reds ❤
@ Good for him 😁
Meno male Che Fede e con noi!
In Slot we trust, the mans tactial changes and substitutions this season have been on another level.
You could say it's luck but it's not , it's cant be
I think Slot should start Chiesa in CL R8 vs PSV, can then sub in Danns
@@antroit8593good thought but the baldie will go for status quo and never play him
@charlesiserhien3440 well, we have to respect and support the Coach decision. Eventually he is responsible of the final result
Chiesa has the aura of a world class player man and i think he can play such a big part for us, mix it up, make the regulars feel the competition for their spot
I know he hasn't had much time, but from what I've seen, I'm excited about Chiesa. He's unbelievably direct, and the way he can create space for himself in the box is quite something.
I hope we can get him fully fit in the run-in, something tells me he's going to score a couple of big goals before the season's out.
No1s asking him to start we are asking for him to get more game time instead of coming on as sub 1 game in 4 in the 75th-80th min.
Chiesa is worldclass !
The 15 mins he played on Tuesday night showed that Chiesa can give Salah a rest in some league matches
really good management, our season could have been like Arsenal ones
Our squad is highly underrated
He’s looking lively when he’s come on last two games,I think he’s rushing he’s play a bit but that’s understandable,he’ll be an asset for us
We underestimate Chiesa. Maybe it was the low key transfer. But if anyone watched him before like I have, he’s a natural born killer. Deadly from either side. He wants the spotlight and the ball at his feet. Very few players in the world like this. Easily the best Italian player.
still.. give him more time its vital for him to see progress here in his first season, he needs to build self-esteem at a new club and could be our nr. 1 rw if Mo leaves
Despite only getting a few minutes, Chiesa has looked quality the few times he has played. Still not ready to play ahead of Salah, Gakpo, Diaz and Jota in big games, but the games against PSV and Plymouth should give Slot the opportunity to rest some of his first choice players and give some extra minutes to the likes of Chiesa, Nunez, Elliott, Endo, Danns, Morton, Kelleher and Bradley.
Still think Chiesa will catch fire soon...
The health Chiesa is one of the best wings in the world nowadays
As someone outside football, I would be fascinated to know why players like Keita, Thiago and Jota don't seem to be able to stay fit.
Chiesa has looked electric whenever I've seen him play. For me he deserves some starts in the premier league. He would certainly be above Nunez for me in the pecking order.
Surely above Diaz in the current form. Cmon Arne give him his run as a starter this weekend!
Risky since he’s injury prone
Agreed
Can't rush him.. Go Stady.
He can be a supersub, nothing more. Why this glaze though? Just because he took 2 shots
play him in the second half like this will prolong his fitness and he will make the difference everytime...he doesnt need to start he is a clutch player
I see your point. But who do we take off?
@@SimonSwab I would take Diaz off. I believe Chiesa and Nunez are great when they play together.
Chiesa and Nunez that a bomb, ♥️✌️
I would focus on Chiesa over Nunez, hes a better player. Chiesa fit and on form would be so good, his quality is there.
If Chiesa stays fit,we are getting an absolutely high profile lad
Give him 90 min play❤❤❤
Should give him waaay more opportunities not sure what Slot's deal is with Chiesa, nearly scored a wonder goal against Lile
He needs to adapt to the pace of the EPL ... the way he bursts....not managed....he will get injured often... he is literally about ready for next season to play full mins.
Nah needs to be slow.
We forget it was the same with robbo, fab, ibou etc.
in the prem you need to be extremely fit, to be at Liverpool you need to be able to be fitter than the rest of the prem. Building a body like that for us mere mortals would take years, for an athlete it takes months. I don’t expect him to be firing till next season but anything else is a bonus!
Did you listen to his answer? He explains it in this video, I think we should trust him on the matter a little more than the average youtube commenter.
If you watch the video, you get your answer 😴😴
I don't agree with Slot on this. Chiesa is fit and should be played!. If he ain't fit then don't bench him dammit!
Chisel is playing more and more, he will get there
just needs to keep chipping away :)
Step by step. Hopefully, he doesn't get a massive injury.
Things are falling into place nicely this season, we do not have to force the issue. Fede will come clutch. Darwin bagging two bangers at Brentford is living proof.
I'm sorry, I appreciate Slot for all of his work and success this year, but this sounds like a cop-out regarding Chiesa, and by extension Elliott as well...not to mention Endo.
Who are they playing over? Elliot would play cam, szoboslai has been class. We have Diaz/gakpo at LW, and Diaz at striker, and Darwin at striker, and jota at striker. It’s hard to fit them all into 1 team. And chiesa is at most going to get 10 minutes plus stoppage at RW.
@derekd.4156
Diaz is no striker. Every time Slot tried it against a team with less-than- embarrassing defense, it ended badly.
So you have Darwin who rarely scores(kudos for the brace vs Brentford, btw), jota whose injury prone, and then who?
Chiesa could've been tried there as well.
Elliott could've play when either Curtis isn't great, or when szobo was out, or in rotation with them, as he is the best in the team to break down a low-block, and that's a fact.
What is your point? Slot is doing well but also should be doing differently according to you
@danielvandam
If you're replying to me, then I'm saying that while generally he's done well, his under-use of several players will cost us in the later stages of the season(and cost us already in the games we didn't win).
Slot is paid to win games and that is what he is doing.
It’s up to the players to show that they are good enough and fedi is not as fit or as effective as Gakpo, Salah, Jota or Diaz currently.
Hes got a 4 year contract so plenty of time for him to show his worth
Slot's explanation for Chiesa's absence doesn't make sense:
1) To get match fit, you need game time, he doesn't get much game time, even in low importance games.
2) Salah needs the rest and Chiesa is a quality replacement, but he is barely used.
3) When Chiesa comes on, he doesn't look unfit, he's very effective, so you'd use that more often, not less.
4) Chiesa was initially used at a rate that you would expect, then the door was suddenly shut when you would expect it to ramp up.
5) A fully 'match fit' Chiesa would massively help Liverpool, so why isn't Slot enabling that process?
6) Apparently there's another reason behind his absence, which isn't talked about.
I think it's simple: Chiesa is not better than the current starters who are equally or even more fit. What would we know about the fitness of these players though?
@@markelshout2085 On the current form?? His cameos lately is surely better than what Diaz has shown in the same period. I could argue that both Darwin & Mo weren't on their best too lately. Our point is simple,, give him some chances to start at our less important gms where the room to make mistakes is larger than usual. I'd start him in yesterday's match for example. Either in the place of Mo or Lucho.
@@markelshout2085 Chiesa at 100% is a better then both Gakpo and Diaz, more running power and more clinical
@@Youafool500 Sure, 20 goals in 100 games at Juventus is really more clinical.
@markelshout2085 He doesn't have to be better, he has to be a viable alternative to give the 'better' player a rest. You can see their fitness when they play. If they're adding output, that's good and suggests they are fit. If they're struggling with output, then maybe they're unfit.
Chiesa always looks busy, he is fit. If he isn't, then give him more game time to get fit.
If you're sitting bench behind Mo Salah, there is no way you make it into the 1st squad.
So how can he be fit for the games since u are not giving him enough time to play? Think twice slot
Football is 95% training, 5% matches.
If slot doesn’t think he’s fit enough in training, why risk it?
Slot is paid to win matches, not to help players reach their potential. We shouldn’t muck about with a winning formula
Salah, Gakpo, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Elliot, Chiesa, Dann....
Morw Chiesa please Arne ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Do Chiesa and Nunez understand each other?
Give Endo Harvey and Chiesa more minutes Arne.
Please keep Nunez and Chiesa
For me Chiesa is a level above all our other forwards apart from Mo Salah. He is Italy international and won the lot in Seria A with Juve
Lol jota is your best finisher, and best forward football wise 😂
@@Johnnyquid20they all have their strengths. But yes I agree, jota is the most clinical. Guy just knows where to be and needs only 1 touch for magic. 😊
@@Johnnyquid20 Unfortunately, he's made of spaghetti...
@@gershman23 spaghetti that scores goals
Lets not disrespect Dias like that. Dias scores goals and was crucial earlier in the season. Chiesa has only just starting getting into gear.
He does not deserve to be put at that level yet. Despite how much you like him the stats don't lie and he'll need to prove it at Liverpool.
Fede us heavy breather thats why he always become rusher and I think Arne doesnt like that
Wow here some good comments.. You must be a football to. You know what you talking about
@guntorclement8080 yes. Sorry if my english is bad. Im footballer too indeed
Maybe cheisa better from diaz and gakpo..give him chance top play first eleven
Chiesa > Diaz
A half fit Chiesa is better than Nunez. A half fit Jota is better than Nunez. In fact Danns is better than Nunez. Don’t get blinded because he had a good game last weekend.
give him more minutes against Ed Sheeran FC
chiesa and endo deserve more minutes so others can get rest
In Slot we trust!
Slot knows how to maintain footballers , look at everyone else’s injury history this season ?
What ever the explanations i think Chiesa should start , rather bench player like Elliot , Nunes , Jones. Also bring back Endo.
Slot... You are full of crap.
You can use Chiesa as number 9 instead of Nunez. You like Nunez so much that you overlook other players.
You spoke my heart out bro...That's one thing I don't like about him. He is senseless in his decisions
for some fans, winning is not enough now.🤣. they want new signings, they want to play their fav players, they think they are the manager. 🤣
Disgusting the treatment of Elliot.Shoukd at the very least, be playing as a sub and getting the second half of games regularly .The team needs rotating, or everything will fall apart at the last month of the season.
Salah has been awful lately losing the ball over and over never passes the ball to his teammates just blanks them even though there in better goal scoring positions, Salah needs to be drop for at least a game and let him rest, slot is terrified to drop Salah because he will kick off and spit his dummy out, let’s have it right here
My. Front three against Ipswich. Chiesa Dann Eliot
Slot is taking care of him.
Absolutely
👍
Darwin can play shite every game but still will get many minutes. Chiesa shows quality in 5 minutes yet he will not play more than 5 minutes the next game too.
Because Slot is stubbornly annoying
Jota is always injured, Diaz is too inconsistent and Darwin is hopeless. Please bring a new striker before you bottle titles.
Simple as it is. But the bald head still won't learn. Fede is new in the Epl and most defenders won't know his style of play. Give the guy a chance for crying out loud ....Common!
@@charlesiserhien3440 he is he's been building cheisi up you muppet
Salah must gooooo he is so selfish... Federico is there to replace him
🥴
Stop smoking mate
Slot getting fat every press conference
He looks exactly the same as when he first came in.
FSG Out!!! FSG have to sign at least one defender!! If you are ambitious, if you want to get more profits from winning trophies, if you want to regard yourselves as good management team by us, Liverpool fans, Then invest and sign one defender!! Sign Kerkez!!! By signing kerkez not just we are gonna get the player, Kerkez!!! We are gonna get 3 points from Bournmouth!!! There will be no one to stop Salah!!! Be wise!!! Sign Kerkez!! If you could sign, then I will shut my mouth the rest of the season!!!
I just wish you’d shut your mouth period.
Trophies don't pay as well as the league anymore
