'Bravo': £67m superstar sends message to Federico Chiesa after first goal for Liverpool
Today at 03:00 AM
Liverpool returned to winning ways in some style this weekend with the Reds securing a 4-0 result in the FA Cup against Accrington Stanley.
Arne Slot picked an interesting XI to face the League Two side with the Dutch coach blending youth with experience at Anfield, with Rio Ngumoha becoming the youngest player ever to start a game for Liverpool.
Another notable event from the match was Federico Chiesa scoring his first goal for Liverpool, with Diogo Jota lauding the ‘dangerous’ Italian international who came from the bench to wrap up the 4-0 win for the Reds.
And one of Juventus’ star players has now praised Chiesa for his performance for the Anfield side.
Chiesa praised by Dusan Vlahovic after scoring first Liverpool goal
Taking to Instagram, Juventus’ superstar attacker Dusan Vlahovic lauded his former teammate having responded to Chiesa’s post from the game, with the £67m-rated striker posting: “Bravo Fenix.”
With Liverpool defender Andy Robertson and Chiesa’s father and former Italy international Enrico Chiesa also sending messages of support to the 27-year-old attacker, it’s safe to say that the winger enjoyed a fantastic day at the office for the Reds.

Indeed, the former Serie A superstar bagging his first goal for the Reds comes at a pivotal time for the winger with rumours suggesting that Cheisa could leave Liverpool this month on loan if the right offer is made.
And scoring his first goal for Liverpool, even against a League Two side like Accrington Stanley, will do Chiesa the world of good, with the attacker keen to make a name for himself with the Reds and to show Premier League fans how good he can really be.
Liverpool would be crazy to loan out Chiesa at this stage
Chiesa’s time at Liverpool has been turbulent, to say the least, with the winger suffering from numerous injury setbacks and yet to enjoy a real run of form in the first-team since joining from Juventus last summer.
Yet the attacker showed in his brief cameo for Liverpool against Accrington Stanley that Chiesa has a future with the Reds, and his goal to make the score 4-0 could be the start of the winger’s career at last with the Merseyside giants.
Liverpool fans have had to be patient with Chiesa’s fitness and form, yet the wait could now be worth it with the Italian international back to his best physically and now finding the back of the net for the first time.
