Forward Federico Chiesa insists if he did not relish the challenge of competition posed by Liverpool's multi-talented squad he would have already left for an easier life.

"It’s Liverpool – of course they are going to buy top players; of course the competition is high.
"But I want the competition, I want to play here.
These first few appearances this year, I have given them something but I want to keep on doing it," he said.
Chiesa has even taken being left out of the Champions League squad in order to fulfil UEFA’s quota on overseas players in his stride.
"Of course I was sorry that I am not part of the Champions League squad, as to play in it is every player’s dream," he said.
