Federico Chiesa has made it clear that his focus is on making an impact at Liverpool, despite being left out of the club’s initial Champions League squad.
The Italian winger, who joined from Juventus last August has faced a challenging first season at Anfield with injuries and the adjustment to Premier League intensity limiting his opportunities.
Last season, Chiesa made just one start, appearing in the Premier League only briefly after Liverpool had already secured the title.
With Giovanni Leoni’s unfortunate injury, Chiesa could make his way into the Reds’ UCL squad and make a case for himself to start more regularly.
This term, he has already matched his previous total Premier League appearances, making six outings, including four from the bench.
Injuries, the step up to Premier League intensity, and competition from established stars like Mohamed Salah have limited his game time, yet Chiesa has never made a fuss or questioned the manager’s decisions.
OHHH FEDE CHIESAA!
While his numbers may not jump off the page, he is a player who can contribute across competitions and make an impact on call.
It is the kind of professionalism that Liverpool should reward with more regular opportunities, allowing him to build rhythm and confidence while helping the team in a variety of situations.
In a squad competing on multiple fronts, patience and professionalism often go underappreciated, but Chiesa’s approach offers a blueprint for how to navigate limited opportunities while still making an impact.
Liverpool fans should take note: the winger’s blend of talent, versatility, and maturity means he deserves more chances to shine, and when given them, he could become a key figure in Slot’s squad.
More regular opportunities could see Chiesa flourish at Anfield, fulfilling the promise he showed early in his career and becoming a key figure in Liverpool’s ambitions this season and beyond.
Federico Chiesa has to go beyond minutes only in the League Cup.
Ultimately, Liverpool’s attack benefits most when every option is used intelligently.
