Will Chiesa Get Bling for 25 Minutes of Fame?…
Federico Chiesa, perhaps the most invisible player to don a Liverpool jersey this season, has folks everywhere scratching their heads, wondering if he’ll snag a Premier League medal. To be fair, he played a whole 25 minutes this year. That’s about as long as it takes to cook a pizza, which maybe explains why the man stayed hungry for more action.
Last weekend, Chiesa’s fleeting Wembley heroics almost made the transfer worth it. He came off the bench, doing his best impression of Houdini — except Houdini usually made a splash. While Liverpool’s lead over Arsenal seems rock solid, fatigue creeps in, hinting that our boy Chiesa might yet become a savior with some crucial performances. Another two games under his belt will stomp out any doubts of him claiming a medal. But surprise! Liverpool can hand these medals out like candy, going beyond the five-game rule if they so choose!
Even if Chiesa only graced the field for those half-an-hour stretches, the club can decide to reward him just for showing up in uniform. His fellow substitute hero, Harvey Elliott, is living proof – he got his medal during the era of strict rules, so why not Chiesa now? All eyes are on Chiesa, not just for bling purposes but to cement his place in Liverpool folklore. Get that man on the field, and maybe in ten years, he’ll write a book titled “25 Minutes to Medal Glory.”
