Slo s characteristics commented on Chiesa: He has completely gotten rid of his sluggish state and will become a key force in the new season

In the early morning of August 26, Liverpool will challenge Newcastle away in the second round of the Premier League. At the pre-match press conference held on the 23rd, Liverpool coach Slot made it clear that the team's Italian winger Chiesa has completely gotten rid of the sluggish state and will become an important combat force in the team in the new season. In the league opening game where Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2, Chiesa, who came on the bench, scored a key goal and became the team's hero to win. Chiesa, who transferred from Juventus for a maximum of £12.5 million last summer, was plagued by injuries last season and overlapped with PFA Player of the Year Salah. She only made 14 appearances in various competitions. It was rumored this summer that he might return to Serie A. Slott pointed out at the press conference: "Chiesa is completely different from last season. This is normal. Last year, he missed the entire pre-season preparation, and suddenly faced the intensity and intensive schedule of the Premier League. As long as he maintains his current physical condition, he can make greater contributions to the team."

When talking about the substitution decision against Bournemouth, Slott explained: "We needed to score at that time, and there were only two attackers on the bench, Chiesa and 16-year-old Ngumoha. Although young player Ngumo performed well in the preseason, it was a more natural decision to replace Chiesa, and his perfect performance fulfilled our expectations."

Also joining from Serie A this summer is 18-year-old central defender Leoni, whose transfer fee is 30 million pounds. Slotte specifically mentioned the new player: "Although he only participated in three training sessions, the transfer fee itself shows his maturity. At the age of 18, he was amazing in his integration into the team - tall and agile, calm ball control, which is why we brought him in a lot of money." Slotte added, "The qualities of this team are that any new player will feel comfortable here. The locker room atmosphere is so outstanding, it is very suitable for young players to start their Liverpool career."
