Pundit explains Chiesa’s natural position after he shines for Italy

 

 

Federico Chiesa was in superb form for the Italian national team last night, scoring twice for the Azzurri in their 5-2 victory against North Macedonia. ..................

 

North Macedonia proved to be strong opponents, but they could do little against an Italy side that lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Chiesa playing in his preferred left-sided attacking role. Domenico Berardi occupied the other wing, and Giacomo Raspadori played as the centre-forward. ..................

 

 

Pundit Antonio Di Gennaro has now commented on the attacker’s best position and said:

 

“Chiesa was born and raised as a winger, it is his best position because it gives the sensation of having the line to be able to aim, centre and shoot. At Juve, he plays as a second striker, widening and looking for more space to have the ability to go into one against one.” ..................

Chiesa is happy to be back in the Italy side after injuries absence

 

 

Federico Chiesa stole the show as Italy emerged victorious against North Macedonia in their Euro 2024 qualifiers last night.

 

The attacker had missed the last two international windows due to injury, and it is widely acknowledged that the team performs better when he is on the field.

 

Chiesa lived up to expectations, starting in his preferred position in Luciano Spalletti’s 4-3-3 formation last night.

 

With this win, Italy is now just one point away from qualifying for the Euros next year in Germany. ..................

 

After the game, the Azzurri star said:

 

“I was sad not to be available for the first two sets of games, but I am very glad to be back in the Italy jersey. I felt pain, as I was changing direction and he crashed into me. These things happen at international level, the defenders want to make their presence felt.” ..................

Juventus and Chiesa heading towards a one-year extension

 

 

Juventus has encountered difficulties in securing Federico Chiesa to a new contract as he approaches the end of his current deal.

 

The club has communicated its interest in retaining the attacker on a longer-term agreement to his representatives.

 

Chiesa’s existing contract is set to expire in 2025, and Juventus recognises the urgency of extending his stay.

 

Being one of their standout players, he is someone they aim to keep in their squad for the coming years. ..................

 

This would extend the expiration date of his contract to 2026, providing both parties with ample time to negotiate a new, more extended contract. ..................

Chiesa, who plays for Juventus, missed the previous two international windows but made a strong return, scoring two goals in his first game back with the national team. ..................

Di Canio insists Chiesa is a better player in a 4-3-3 system

 

 

Paolo di Canio has shared his thoughts on Federico Chiesa’s performances for Juventus and the Italian national team. Chiesa, a key player for both club and country, has consistently performed well. 

 

However, at Juventus, Chiesa has been playing in a 3-5-2 formation where his natural wing position on the left of a 4-3-3 formation is not utilised. Despite this, he has adapted brilliantly to the demands of his role as one of the two strikers in the 3-5-2 formation. ............

 

Paolo di Canio said:

 

“Chiesa is playing as a support striker but, as we saw with the national team, he needs space and ply wide. In a 4-3-3 system, Chiesa is an excellence. He has scored some goals playing in the middle, but sometimes he gets lost and does not make the best use of his pace.” ............

Juventus sets a date to meet with Chiesa’s agent to discuss new deal

 

 

Juventus is eager to secure Federico Chiesa’s long-term commitment and has been actively seeking to sign him to a new contract.

 

Chiesa, a key player and one of the top scorers for the club this season, is considered crucial to Juventus’ future success. ............

 

However, Juventus is keen to avoid the risk of losing him for free or waiting until the final year of his contract when negotiations might become more challenging.

 

To ensure a timely resolution, Juventus is reportedly intensifying talks with Chiesa’s representatives and aiming to accelerate discussions by the end of the month. ............

Juventus risks losing Chiesa to the Premier League

 

 

Federico Chiesa’s future is a subject Juventus has been grappling with in the last few weeks.

 

The Bianconeri do not want to lose the former Fiorentina man and are eager to ensure he signs a new deal soon.

 

However, Chiesa is not so keen on extending his deal at the moment, which has caused him to delay his decision to stay. ............

 

As he delays putting pen to paper on a new deal, Juve is now running the risk of losing him to the Premier League.

 

Several clubs in England, including Liverpool, are keen on Chiesa and would pounce to sign him in the summer if he remains without a new deal. ............

Journalist insists it is too early to brand Chiesa a fragile player

 

 

Due to his prolonged injury in 2022 and the recurring minor physical issues, Federico Chiesa has been perceived as a player with persistent physical problems.

 

The Azzurri star has played a crucial role for Juventus this season, consistently delivering strong performances whenever he takes the field. However, concerns linger about his long-term fitness, given his history of injuries. ............

 

Journalist Guido Vaciago contends that Chiesa does not experience injuries frequently enough to be deemed a fragile player.

 

“There are players who compromise their careers due to injuries because they don’t have the right continuity. To say that about Chiesa we have to wait. He has his fragility but he has also had these problems for a year. Let’s wait for this to be repeated for several seasons to say that he is a fragile footballer. When he has played he has always been one of the best, like against Salernitana in the Italian Cup.” ............

Fabrizio Ravanelli says Chiesa has a poor attitude for a Juventus player

 

 

Fabrizio Ravanelli has raised concerns about Federico Chiesa’s attitude and emphasises that a change is necessary if the attacker intends to continue playing for Juventus. ............

 

Although he commenced the current season strongly, establishing himself as one of the club’s key players, injuries have disrupted his game time. Additionally, Ravanelli has questioned Chiesa’s attitude during his appearances on the field.

 

As the attacker struggles to meet expectations in Turin, Fabrizio Ravanelli said:

 

“I love Chiesa, for me he is very strong: I cannot imagine seeing a Juve without Chiesa in the future. But he must change his attitude on the pitch, he must be less impatient. When you take a free kick or a corner in the final stages of the match and maybe you’re even below, you can’t go there walking slower than an eighty-year-old: you have to demonstrate that you have the right desire. Federico, I love you and for me, you are a great footballer, but to stay at Juve you have to change your attitude.” ............

Ex-Roma star says Chiesa should leave Juventus if Allegri remains manager

 

 

Former Roma player Massimo Bonanni suggests that Federico Chiesa should consider requesting a departure from Juventus at the end of this season if Max Allegri continues as the club’s manager.

 

Chiesa has reportedly faced challenges in his career under Allegri, with the coach deploying him out of his natural position in the current system. Despite Chiesa’s deal with Juventus set to expire at the end of the next season, an extension is expected soon. ............

 

He said:

 

“For me, any coach who has Chiesa available should focus on him.

 

“Allegri, however, is not able to make the most of him, he deploys him as a second striker and in that role, he cannot express himself at his best, if I were the player I would ask for the transfer if the coach remains .” ............

Ex-Serie A keeper feels Juventus and Chiesa ‘look empty’

 

 

Former Lazio goalkeeper Luca Marchegiani analyses Juventus‘ run of poor results, saying that Bianconeri players, especially their star striker Federico Chiesa, ‘look empty.’

 

The Serie A giants won just Serie A one game from the last nine, collecting seven points and seeing fourth-placed Bologna move just two below them in the table. ............

 

Talking about Juventus’ latest league loss on Sky Sport Italia, ex-Lazio keeper Marchegiani said: “That game was a tough one for Juve, and it had the worst possible outcome. They had nearly collected a point.”

 

“What was even more surprising is that the team looked empty,” continued Marchegiani.

 

“Juventus used to have a different intensity and it feels strange that the problem is only physical because it is the team that played the least games. Look at Chiesa, he also looks empty,” concluded Marchegiani. ............

“I’m always the first” – Chiesa mutters following his exit in Torino vs Juventus

 

 

Juventus star Federico Chiesa was left irritated after leaving the pitch at the hour mark in the Derby della Mole against Torino.

 

The 26-year-old was the Bianconeri’s most influential player in the final third during his time on the pitch. He put Dusan Vlahovic through on goal with a sublime cross that the latter squandered, and threatened with a low drive in the second half which hit his captain Danilo.

 

Nevertheless, this hasn’t spared him from an early exit. As usual, Max Allegri decided to put a relatively premature ending to the striker’s outing, replacing him with Kenan Yildiz in the 60th minute. The manager simultaneously replaced Filip Kostic with Samuel Iling-Junior.

 

Chiesa was left bemused and could hardly hide his frustration when forced to share an embrace with his manager. ............

 

Eventually, Chiesa was muttering to himself, and cameras caught him repeating the same line: “I’m always the first substitution”. ............

AS Roma makes Juventus star a summer transfer target

 

 

AS Roma has emerged as a surprising contender for Federico Chiesa’s signature ahead of the next season, amidst Juventus’s struggles to secure him on a new contract.

 

There is a prevailing belief that if Max Allegri remains as Juventus manager, Chiesa will depart from the club at the conclusion of this season.

 

Under the current Bianconeri manager, Chiesa has found it challenging to display his best form and has yet to commit to a new contract.

 

With his current deal expiring at the end of the next season, Juventus faces an uncomfortable dilemma.

 

Chiesa must either sign a new contract imminently or depart from the club, with the latter scenario seeming increasingly likely now that AS Roma has expressed interest in acquiring the attacker.

 

Daniele de Rossi is an admirer of Chiesa, having worked with him during their time together as part of Italy’s coaching staff at Euro 2020. ............
