Arne Slot has praised Federico Chiesa's significant improvement compared to last season, highlighting the Italian's transformation at "Liverpool". The Dutch coach expressed clear satisfaction with Chiesa's current form and fitness level.
"I see that he has changed compared to last season. This is a completely different Federico now," Slot remarked about the winger.
The Liverpool manager pointed out that Chiesa's struggles last season were largely due to missing crucial preparation time. He essentially skipped pre-season training before joining the Premier League - a competition known for its high-intensity matches and demanding schedule.
"Last year he practically missed the entire pre-season preparation, and then entered the Premier League, where there are many high-intensity matches. If he maintains his current fitness, he will certainly get more playing time," Slot emphasized.
Interestingly, Chiesa's development comes at a perfect time for "Liverpool" as they continue their campaign under new management. The Italian international could become a more prominent figure in Slot's tactical setup if his form continues to improve.
Can Chiesa finally show his true potential in the Premier League this season? With proper preparation and improved fitness, the signs are certainly promising.
