Video: Arne Slot’s pre-Leeds press conference “Every player has a possibility to start,” he claimed. “But he is indeed having his impact coming off the bench a few times.

“So it tells you also the mentality he has not to concede, and that’s a good thing because that’s what not only defenders should have, that’s also what attackers should have.” It is a credit to Chiesa that, despite his minimal role and seemingly little chance of changing that, he was the player who chased Isidor over an entire half of the pitch and blocked the shot with Alisson beaten. How many times has Arne Slot started Federico Chiesa?

Chiesa has started only twice this season, both in the Carabao Cup, while coming off the bench 13 times in league and Europe. In total since his £12.5 million move from Juventus, he has made the squad 50 times but only started in six of those games.
