Federico Chiesa It has been revealed liverpoolTheir players were left speechless by their fall as they said their dressing room was silent after their fourth consecutive defeat Premier League defeat on brentford On Saturday.
The Italy international, who has said he wants to stay at Anfield, has defended Arne Slott Saying he was not mentally or physically fit enough to play, he was sidelined for most of last season.
But while Chiesa has been one of Liverpool’s better players this season, the defending champions have languished and lost five of their last six games in all competitions.
And Chiesa gave insight into the atmosphere after Brentford’s 3–2 win, saying: “Nobody was speaking. Because everybody knows afterwards. Sometimes you don’t need to speak about the situation. You know what’s happening. That’s why nobody spoke because I think we have to think about what we can do better and usually when we’re in this situation the first thing that comes to your mind is to give more, work harder. To do.
“I think it was good that we didn’t talk after the game because it’s a sign that everyone wants change. Everyone wants to change the situation.
“Of course, when we got on the bus and we started talking about the situation and everyone wants to change things. That’s the main goal and the first thing is that we don’t have to blame anything or anyone.
“We’re not winning and there could be a lot of reasons for that but we have to bounce back, and we don’t care about that and I personally don’t care if this or that is the reason why we’re not winning. The most important thing for me is to work hard and then try to win.”
Liverpool face Crystal Palace, who have already beaten them in the Community Shield and Premier League This season, Chiesa convinced Wednesday in the Carabao Cup that one win can lead to more.
“I don’t know if you say it in English, but [in Italy] We say, ‘Winning brings winning’,” he explained. “So we want to win tomorrow. We have the quality and players to do it and we have a brilliant manager so I don’t see any problems. I hope there will be no problems in future. I hope we bounce back and that’s how I see it. I want to stay here and win again for Liverpool.
Chiesa said that, at the age of 28, he sees himself as one of the leaders of a Liverpool team that has become younger after their summer business.
He has still only started one Premier League game and started five matches in total since his transfer from Juventus in 2024, but has proven to be an influential substitute this season, including a goal against Palace at Selhurst Park.
But while he doesn’t want to just be a super-sub, he supported Slott’s decision to overlook him last season.
“I want to play well,” he said. “That’s my main goal. Then the coach will decide whether I’m starting or not. But if I continue to play well, then, of course, I’ll have more minutes. That’s because the coach sees it. He shows it to me because I’m playing better. Last year I wasn’t fit enough. I wasn’t mentally prepared and I didn’t play.
“I completely agreed with it because I was not as fast as the other boys. This year, as soon as we started, I felt I felt better physically and mentally. I have played more and I still need to play more to reach the level. When I won the Euros I was playing a lot [with Italy in 2021]I’m a different player now, but I like where I’m going and I like the fact that I’ve improved in many aspects of my game, other than the fact that I’ve lost a little bit of speed.
