Chiesa s choice after losing the Champions League: stay in the team to compete, correct the World Cup and self-righteous

According to the Italian Sports newspaper, Chiesa's decision to lose to Liverpool's Champions League roster caused a shock in Merseyside and Italian football. Head coach Slot chose winger Engumoha, who just turned 17, as a substitute. Engumoha scored the final goal in the fourth round of the Premier League away game against Newcastle this season, and his goal efficiency in the first four games of his career even surpassed Rooney in the same period. Ironically, Chiesa was considered a non-sale item three weeks ago: he had just scored and continued to contribute great performances against Bournemouth. Even the player himself was shocked by the sudden defeat. But his response seemed restrained and rational. He rejected the invitation from the Turkish club, ignored the tentative loan proposal of the Serie A team and chose to fight for the position.
Inter Milan's contact with Naples this summer is only limited to the short-term loan idea, while Chiesa, who holds a four-year contract (annual salary of 6.2 million euros, is more inclined to stay in the team to prove himself. His primary goal is to win the call of national team coach Gattuso through his club performance and return to the World Cup journey. It is worth noting that the Champions League roster can be re-registered during the knockout stage, which means he still has a chance to make a comeback next spring.
Liverpool spent 500 million euros this summer to form a new front line composed of Wilz, Isak and Ekitika, but all players need to compete for their jobs. This is not only a physical test, but also an ultimate psychological trial: "This is essentially a game between him and himself, verifying whether he can become a leader in a top environment. "
Slott's decision to cut off his arm this time is bold but necessary. The launch of new star Engumoha will certainly cause controversy, but the young player's ultimate goal at St James Park has shown his superstar potential. Chiesa's attitude of refusing to complain negatively and choosing to fight silently is a trait that Red Army fans appreciate. If he can continue to output in the Premier League and domestic Cup, he is still expected to return to the Champions League knockout roster.
This incident also reflects the cruel competitive philosophy of Liverpool in the new era: no player can enjoy the privilege of being exempt from rotation. What the club needs is fighters who face difficulties rather than escapees. If Chiesa can turn pressure into motivation, Anfield's career may usher in a major turning point.
