Liverpool team performed extremely well this season and eventually won the Premier League championship ahead of schedule. At the moment of winning the championship, the whole team was also in a carnival. Among the celebrating crowd, there was an extremely familiar "stranger", who was from Federico Chiesa. The 27-year-old Italian striker got the chance to make a appearance in the game against Chelsea, and since then, he has met the number of appearances in the Premier League this season and will receive a championship medal. However, for Chiesa himself, although winning the championship is certainly good news, it is indeed a bit embarrassing. After all, his contribution throughout the season is extremely limited. And he needs to think about what his future will be planned this summer. He used to be the hope of Italian football. He led the Italian team to the top of Europe at the age of 23. However, in just 4 years, his career has taken a sharp turn. So what has Chiesa experienced in the past few years made him look like he is now in a down-and-out manner. Let us review the bitter journey of Chiesa in the past few years.
1. Gradually make a fortune and lead Italy to the top.
Chiesa's father is Enrico Chiesa. Chiesa's career is also very legendary. He has had a record of playing for Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Parma. During the Parma period, he followed the team to win the double championship in the UEFA Cup and the Italian Cup, and also won the scorer of the UEFA Cup with 8 goals, reaching the peak of his career. Unfortunately, at his peak, he suffered a serious knee injury and ultimately failed to fully reach the expected height. However, he scored 212 goals in his entire career and was selected into the Italian national team many times, which is enough to prove his legendary nature. As the son of old Chiesa, little Chiesa naturally followed his father's footsteps since he was a child, and surpassing his father's achievements have always been his goal. At the age of 10, he joined the youth training camp in Fiorentina. In the 15-16 season, Chiesa, who was 18 years old, was recruited by the first team of Fiorentina and quickly became the main force of the team. In the four seasons of Purple Lily, he made a total of 153 appearances, contributing 34 goals and 19 assists. This is already a very impressive performance for a second-generation goal, and it is precisely because of this that he has received the attention of Juventus.
In the summer of 2020, the 22-year-old Chiesa was sent to the old woman by the team by renting first and then selling. As a top team in Serie A, although Juventus showed signs of decline at that time, its background was still there, and the lineup was maintained quite well, so they still won the double championship in the league and the Italian Cup this season. Chiesa Jr. also contributed a double-double with 14 goals and 10 assists, and was selected into the league's best team. As a young man, he has caught up with his father's pace. At the age of 23, he was also called up by the Italian national team and participated in the European Cup that year. Although they were not optimistic, Italy showed their top tactical thinking at that time, defeating many strong opponents all the way, and eventually defeating their opponents at home in England and winning the European Cup championship. Chiesa scored 2 goals in the entire Cup and performed very well. After scoring the goal, he slid his knees to celebrate the elegant slithering in the corner flag area, which also became a classic moment in the European Cup. While making his value in Serie A, he further increased his value in the European Cup. In that summer, Chiesa was definitely the hottest star, with a value of 80 million euros at one point. And to the outside world, Italy has found the key to their revival, and Chiesa Jr. is regarded as the answer to the striker for the national team in the next 10 years.
2. He was seriously injured unexpectedly and was reluctantly given up by Juventus.
Although he received many offers from teams, including Chelsea, Bayern and Munich, Juventus was not willing to send him away at that time. Of course, Chiesa Jr. also hoped to stay in the domestic league. However, just as everyone was expecting Chiesa Jr. to achieve even more brilliant achievements and help Juventus and the Italian national team move towards revival, he began to be injured. At the end of November 2021, his left thigh muscle was accidentally strained and he had to miss a one-month game. On January 6, 2022, he successfully returned to face Naples. Although he scored a goal, breaking his goal drought for more than three months, in the game against Roma three days later, he suffered a serious injury in a fight with the opponent's central defender Smalling, and the result was very bad. His left knee had to be torn anterior cruciate ligament and had to undergo surgery, which also announced that he ended his 21-22 season ahead of schedule. And it was precisely because of this serious injury that Chiesa, who was only 24 years old at the time, began to decline and never returned to the peak.
However, the buyout clause of Chiesa at that time was triggered, so he stayed with the old woman. Of course, Juventus was willing to give Chiesa time. After all, the team's decline was already very obvious. If Chiesa could recover, not only would the team save a lot of signing costs, but it would also be able to revive it. This is simply a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, they patiently waited for Chiesa Jr. to come back and handed him the No. 7 jersey after Cristiano Ronaldo left, which shows their trust in Chiesa Jr. But helplessly, Chiesa Jr. ultimately failed to recover to her pre-injury level, and her proud explosive power was lost, which made it difficult for him to complete the explosion through his personal ability in the game. And what's worse is that Chiesa Jr. has suffered repeated injuries during this period. In the 22-23 season and 23-24 season, he only played 70 games in total, and 14 goals and 8 assists were his all contribution. Therefore, Juventus was also very helpless. Last summer, they ended their cooperation with Chiesa Jr.
3. When the Red Army became a marginal person, the next stop is unclear.
Although Liverpool has maintained good competitiveness in recent years, fans who were familiar with them at that time knew that the team's senior management, the Atmospheric Consortium, have always shown stinginess. Therefore, they had almost no signings last summer, and eventually they focused on Chiesa Little, and used £10 million, plus a floating amount of £2.5 million, to introduce Chiesa Little from the old woman. However, throughout the year, Chiesa Jr. has been fighting against injuries, and as a member of the frontcourt, it is difficult for him to compete with Salah, Dias and others who are in hot form, and Nunes and Jota are also sitting on the bench. Therefore, Chiesa Jr. has only played in 14 games in total, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist. Although he won the Premier League championship with the team, anyone with discerning eyes knows that he is a marginal person in this team. With the offseason coming, he is likely to leave Anfield. But this time, I don’t know where to accept Chiesa. In just 4 years, he has changed from a popular chicken to a marginal player on the team. It makes people feel extremely sad and sighed that he is hurting.
