Federico Chiesa, Liverpool's wing-back, spoke to journalists after the first round match against Bournemouth. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The 27-year-old Italian scored a goal just six minutes after coming onto the field in the 88th minute of the game. His goal put the "Reds" ahead 3-2.
In the remaining time of the match, Mohamed Salah secured the hosts' victory. In an interview with Sky Sport, Chiesa said that immediately after scoring, he thought about Diogo Jota, his brother, and their family.
He emphasized that the game was very emotional and said the ending was very impressive. The player stated that he is ready to play wherever the coach sees him.
He highlighted that after transferring to the new team, he faced difficulties as the pace of the game here is completely different. But after a year, he finally managed to score his first goal in the Premier League.
He also added that the coach always supported him and gave him opportunities. It is worth noting that Liverpool purchased the Italian player from Juventus last summer.
