Chiesa gone: Liverpool coach explains why. Farewell is closer
Church gone: Liverpool coach explains whyé. L'farewell è closer
Federico Chiesa has no physical problems but can find no space in Liverpool. Arne Slot in a press conference è was clear about the use of the former Juventus striker: he does not know what to expect from him and cannot afford to deploy him in crucial Premier League and Champions League matches. A loan in January is not è to be discarded, if the player will not find more space in the coming weeks.
"What he needs è is to play, the problem è that if he hasn't played for five or six months sometimes è it's difficult for a coach to give him his first minutes, because you don't know exactly what to expect,&# said Slot. Yes, I see him on the training field, but ideally I would like to see him in a friendly during the week, or in an Under-21 game or something like that. But this is not è our situation: we play soì so many games".
Chiesa could find cup space with Southampton next week: "Maybe the match against Southampton could be a good time for him to get some minutes to play and then we will know a little bit better what we can expect from him. If you only have training sessions, it is not è the same thing as playing time. You need game time to reach certain levels of fitness".
"If you are fighting for the championship and fighting in the Champions League, it è not always easy to find these minutes, unless sometimes we are leading 4-0 or 5-0, but for the whole season I think it happened only once".
