Italy international Federico Chiesa has been awarded as the Liverpool Player of the Month for September: ‘I hope I keep on pushing and keep on giving something back to the fans.’
Chiesa was the best Liverpool player this past September, as the Italian topped a supporter poll on the Liverpool website with 34% of votes, ahead of Alisson Becker and Ryan Gravenberch, who earned 18% of votes each.
“Of course, I’m glad I won this prize. Thank you to the fans for the support and for voting for me,” Chiesa told the official Liverpool website.
“I would rather not get it in the future and win more games. But thank you again.
“The support always has been amazing. I try to give my best on the pitch for the fans and for Liverpool. I love to see that the fans actually appreciate what I’m doing.”
Oddly, however, Chiesa has only started one game this season, against Southampton in the EFL Cup, on September 23, when he grabbed two assists in a 2-1 victory.
Chiesa has made six substitute appearances in the Premier League, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
“I was happy after the Southampton game because we won, but then at Crystal Palace we couldn’t win, and we couldn’t even draw. I wasn’t happy at the end of the game because my goal didn’t count [for anything],” Chiesa continued.
“We hope to turn things around in the future.
“Whatever the minutes are that I’m playing, I try to give my best, I try to help the team, stay positive and try to make an impact. That’s what I’m here for.
“I hope I keep on pushing and keep on giving something back to the fans.”
Chiesa was initially not included in Liverpool’s Champions League squad, but was later introduced into the team due to Giovanni Leoni’s knee injury.
Chiesa has scored two goals and provided three assists in eight appearances across all competitions with Liverpool this season.
