"You can't expect good form if you're out for five to six months."

Liverpool manager Arne Slot sentenced the Italian striker, who has not been seen for three months, to a de facto 'season out'. The reason why his form collapsed to the point that he could not be sent to the real game due to his long absence.

I brought it from the transfer market last summer, and I couldn't even use it properly. Only one game has been played this season. There is no possibility of more. It's a complete failure to recruit. The player whose slot manager gave up expectations is Federico Key (27), a former striker from the Italian national team.




Liverpool Echo, a British local media outlet, said on the 19th (Korea time) 'Slot had nothing to look forward to about the possibility of Kiesa's return' ran an article. The slot director did not say a definite date on when he would be able to see Kiesa again. Instead, we should focus on raising our physical condition to 100 percent," he said.

However, if you look at the contents, it means that there is virtually no possibility of getting a chance to play this season. The slot manager said "What I see is something everyone else can look forward to. However, if a player is absent for five to six months, he will not be able to expect (perfect form)````````. It is not easy to return to the highest level, but it was good that it showed some quality. But it's not enough to compete at this level. The competition is also fierce."

Negative assessment is the main focus. Looking back on Kiesa's season, I can understand what the slot coach said.




Chiesa is a striker brought by Liverpool from Juventus for 12 million pounds (about 22 billion won) in the transfer market last summer. Although he had a history of cruciate ligament rupture injuries, he seemed to have recovered to his normal form by scoring 10 goals and 2 assists in 37 games last season.

Liverpool brought in Chiesa for two reasons. One is the low price. A player who has achieved double-digit attack points in Serie A at £12 million deserves to be considered a good deal. The second is to use Kiesa as a backup for Mohamed Salah's rest. There were no plans to use Kiesa as the main striker anyway. I thought it was enough just to serve as a backup for Salah.

However, Kiesa is not living up to these expectations at all. In the league game, the last time he played 18 minutes was when he was substituted against Bournemouth on September 18. After that, he was likely to play several times, but he couldn't appear in the end. In the end, it's because the skills can't keep up. For Liverpool, it's like just throwing 12 million pounds into the air.
