A new clip from Liverpool’s training ground may have finally explained why Arne Slot has been cautious about starting Federico Chiesa. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with tactics and everything to do with the chaos he brings to training.
The footage, which has quickly gone viral, captures a hilarious and unexpected moment. During a structured drill, Curtis Jones produced a brilliant move to get past the goalkeeper, leaving himself with a simple tap-in. With the goal wide open, Jones prepared to slot the ball home.
Just as he was about to finish, Federico Chiesa — who wasn’t even involved in that particular exercise — sprinted into the frame out of nowhere and launched himself in front of the shot, blocking it completely. The interruption left players and fans amused, wondering whether Chiesa’s unpredictable energy is giving Slot second thoughts about starting him.
The clip has sparked plenty of discussion among supporters, adding a lighthearted twist to the debate over Liverpool’s team selections
