Barry Lewtas Full of Praise for Federico Chiesa
New signing Federico Chiesa joined the U21 training on Thursday as the Italian continues his individual training program at Liverpool after joining in the final days of the transfer window.
Liverpool U21s manager Barry Lewtas told Liverpoolfc.com that Chiesa’s involvement was beneficial for his lads, and that the Italian’s skillset was clear:
“We’ve been coming round here for a while and the first-team players, their level of professionalism is unbelievable, it really is.
“Obviously you can see from the quality of his career so far, this is why he’s at one of the best clubs in the world. His professionalism and his quality was really good.
“It obviously just gives our boys a little bit of a chance to play against someone of that quality [and] it’s a really good learning opportunity for them.
“I think any time when we come round to the first-team side, which we do a lot, is always really good. It’s a change of scenery but also more importantly gets us around first-team players and first-team staff, which is important for the boys.”
These sorts of involvements help embed Chiesa at the club, but also help the young players by illustrating the level of skill and professionalism required at the top level of the game.
