New Headline: "Red Bull Racing Dominates, Secures Title

Alisson Becker heaps praise on ‘special’ Liverpool teammate Alisson Becker Highlights Federico Chiesa Impact at Liverpool Liverpool squads that win major honours often rely on more than the names that dominate the starting XI. Behind the goals, assists and headline performances sits a core group of players who shape the dressing room culture and keep standards high every day. At Anfield under Arne Slot, that culture remains central to Liverpool’s continued push at the top of English football.

One player who appears to embody that spirit is Federico Chiesa. According to Alisson Becker, the Italian international contributes far more to Liverpool than his limited minutes might suggest. Federico Chiesa role within Liverpool squad Federico Chiesa arrived at Liverpool in 2024 with considerable expectations following his reputation at Juventus and with Italy.

However, opportunities have been limited. Under Arne Slot, Chiesa has made only two Premier League starts, a surprisingly low number for a player with his pedigree. Despite the lack of regular starts, Chiesa has developed a strong connection with Liverpool supporters.
