superwin636 Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has warned fans of new signing Federico Chiesa to be patient and wait for the player to adjust and get fit with the new team before he is used more, especially now that the frontline unit is highly competitive. superwin636

Chiesa moved from Juventus at the end of the 2024 summer transfer window and made his debut as a substitute in the 3-1 Champions League win over AC Milan yesterday, replacing Mohamed Salah, but only for a few minutes of stoppage time.  ( superwin636 )

This led to calls for more Italian players to be used because of the outstanding training clips, as well as the pressure from former fans who followed the performance in the Italian Serie A. 

However, the 46-year-old coach is resolute, saying that he will not cut in line or skip the queue for any player, no matter how many followers he has. 

“Federico Chiesa will be a major boost for us,” he told BeIN Sports.

“That’s clear. We knew that before he even signed.” 

“He needs real game time at the moment, but with the competition at Liverpool, we have good wingers too.

At this time , the Reds’ striker squad has almost exhausted all of its firepower, leaving only Darwin Nunez or new signing Federico as the only two strikers , who have had few chances and may have to wait for the third round of the Carabao Cup at Anfield in the middle of next week ( 25 Sept. ) .
