Federico Chiesa, who led the attack for Italy’s EURO 2020 crowning glory, has since been a disappointing performer for Juventus and has been ruled out of new coach Thiago Motta’s plans after a string of injuries besides a serious cruciate ligament rupture.
The 27-year-old winger was looking for a move and, with Barcelona and others interested, he decided to go to Liverpool. He was expected to play as a reserve for Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, but his conditioning did not work out and he has recently been off the bench in the Premier League, having only played 18 minutes on the pitch against Bournemouth in the third round.
The current situation in England was barked at by former Italian international Antonio Cassano, who played for Roma, Sampdoria and AC Milan. Because he believes in his talent, he voiced his desire to be told what is happening at Anfield.
“You need to tell me what the f**k is happening with Chiesa,”
“A player who in 2021 was one of the best if not the best along with (Gianluigi) Donnarumma in the Italy team that won, and I thought, now he goes there, different league, he’ll be fine and can play wing-back, can play wherever he wants and likes, but he can’t even play 10 minutes in the league.”
“He’s physically unwell, hasn’t settled in, isn’t up to standard? We need to know something about this for our national team because in my opinion he’s the most talented player we have.”
