Assisted double hits! Liverpool s 28-year-old bench exploded, Slott praised him after the game

In the third round of the League Cup, Liverpool defeated Southampton 2-1 at home and successfully advanced to the fourth round. In this game, coach Slott rotated the 11 starting players, and Chiesa Jr. got the starter chance in the first game of the season. The 28-year-old Italian winger did not disappoint Slot. He contributed 2 assists in a single game and was successfully elected as the best in the game after the game.

This season, Liverpool's forward line has made great efforts, and two strong players have been introduced in succession. Although Chiesa scored a top-up goal in the last moment of the Premier League opening game, helping Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-2, his playing time at Liverpool was very limited and he was not included in the UEFA Champions League stage roster. This time, the start of the League Cup, is also Chiesa's first start this season. Chiesa, who got the starting chance, performed so well that he tried his best, and he almost never made a wrong choice near Southampton's penalty area (even if his own shot was blocked). Chiesa not only completed a large number of defensive tasks, but also directly planned two Liverpool goals.

In the 42nd minute, Southampton made a mistake in the backcourt, McCarthy's ball was interrupted, Chiesa Jr. made a cross from the goal and assisted Isaac in front of the goal, helping Liverpool take a 1-0 lead.

In the 85th minute, Robertson made a precise long pass, and Chiesa quickly inserted into the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and then passed by Ekitic on the right to score the goal.

In addition to two assists to score with teammates, Chiesa Jr. also completed 4 shots in this game, creating 4 opportunities, all with the most in the game. After the game, Chiesa Jr. was elected the best player in this game in Liverpool. After the game, Slott was very satisfied with Chiesa's performance. He said: "Chiesa is the most dedicated and hardest player in the game. His first assist is by no means accidental. The second assist is to penetrate deeper again and complete a wonderful pass, which is not accidental."

In today's Liverpool team, the forward line does not lack absolute talent. Chiesa, 28, is not even qualified to register for the Champions League, and he can only seize the opportunity to prove himself in games like the League Cup. So far this season, Chiesa Jr. has made five appearances at Liverpool, with only one start and contributing 1 goal and 2 assists. Compared with last season, Chiesa's performance has improved significantly. I believe Slot will give this Italian player more opportunities in future games.
