Is it right or wrong to stay in the team? Chiesa is facing a trough in her career, and the 17-year-old star becomes his competitor

The Champions League phase is about to begin, but Liverpool excludes Italian striker Chiesa when signing up, and instead puts the 17-year-old Ngumoha on the roster. In addition, Ngumoha has only been in Liverpool for a year and can only be treated as a foreign player, so he stole Chiesa's registration quota.
In the first round of the league this season, in Liverpool's match against Bournemouth, Chiesa came on as a substitute to help Liverpool score a key goal, so that Liverpool could get a good start in the league. However, Chiesa's current playing time is very close to Ngumoha, and she appeared in almost garbage time. Slot will only send them on the court when no one can change.
For Ngumoha, a 1-minute appearance is also an opportunity to learn, but as a famous star, Chiesa gets more than ten minutes of playing time in every game, which is a punishment for him. In the competition for the Champions League position, Ngumoha also defeated Chiesa and got the last place, which means that Chiesa can only start in the domestic cup, and unless the main player is injured, Chiesa can start in the league.
Chiesa, 27 years old this year, is at the golden age of her career, but after helping Italy win the European Cup, Chiesa is troubled by frequent injuries. After Juventus gradually lost its main position, Chiesa is still troubled by injuries and cannot be reused by Klopp. During Slot's coaching Liverpool last season, Chiesa is still an unstoppable substitute. It was not until Dias left the team this season that Chiesa's playing time increased a little.
Chiesa chose to stay in the team, because even if she transfers, she would not be treated at Liverpool. The teams that want him are all mid- and lower-level teams, so as long as she can stay healthy, Chiesa will definitely have enough playing time this season. After Ngumoha scored the final goal, his position in Liverpool soared. Although he was only 17 years old, Ngumoha was able to adapt to the training and competitions of the first team, and his core strength in the upper body was also very strong. It is also possible to squeeze Garkepo on the bench, let alone Chiesa, who has no status in Liverpool. What Chiesa, 27, needs to do the most at the moment, may not be rushing to prove that she deserves more playing time, but showing irreplaceable value in limited opportunities. Although he was disappointed by the failure of the Champions League roster, the league's substitute can be the stage for him to win his trust again. Only by proving to Slott that he not only has the sense of a top shooter, but also has the tactical adaptability and stability required by the team, can he defeat his teammates and get the starting position.
Of course, it is difficult for Chiesa to become a starter in his current state. If Chiesa still cannot gain Slot's trust in this half season, then he must re-examine his position in Liverpool. After all, he is only 27 years old this year. If he spends a long time on the bench, it will be difficult for him to become the main player even if he transfers to mid- and lower-level teams in the future. From the club's perspective, cultivating Engumoha is more important than using Chiesa, so Ngumoha can not only squeeze out Chiesa, but also have the opportunity to squeeze out Gakepo. If Chiesa doesn't work hard, the winter window transfer is his best choice.
The former hero of the European Cup has now become a marginal figure in Liverpool. It is really sad. Chiesa's injury has improved. Judging from the arrangement of the first three rounds of the league, Chiesa's appearances are more frequent than last season, and he has also become a key substitute for Liverpool's winger. This half season is enough to make Chiesa turn around. In short, success or failure is here. Perhaps one day, Chiesa still has the chance to take over Salah in two years.
