Arne Slot’s ⁤Assessment of Federico Chiesa’s Performance

Speaking about Chiesa’s performance, Slot said, “It’s good to see he played 60 minutes. I said in the previous press conference that he didn’t play much. He may not have‌ played at all in the ⁢last 3-4 ⁣months,‌ so for him, the ​important thing is to get playing time.”

“He got help. Although it ‌was the shot on target that gave Diogo⁤ the goal, he worked very hard. And I think it’s normal that he’s not at his best yet.”

“He has to be familiar with ⁢the club. He has to get used to his teammates. ‍He has to ‌adapt to his style of play.⁤ It’s⁣ great to see how fit he ‍is. And we‍ will be able to use his services again if necessary.”
