Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has addressed questions regarding Federico Chiesa’s playing time this season. The Italian player has only appeared in three Premier League matches so far, leading to speculation about his role within the team.
Slot explained that Chiesa’s limited playing time is not a reflection of his ability or performance on the pitch. He emphasized that the competition for starting positions at Liverpool is fierce, with many talented players vying for limited spots in the squad.
Slot praised Chiesa’s attitude and work ethic, stating that he has been putting in the effort in training and is a valuable member of the team. He expressed confidence that Chiesa will continue to contribute to the team’s success as the season progresses.
While fans may be eager to see Chiesa get more playing time, Slot’s comments suggest that the decision to keep him on the bench is a strategic one based on the team’s needs and the competition within the squad. With the season still in its early stages, there may be more opportunities for Chiesa to showcase his talents and make an impact on the pitch.
