Luciano Spalletti never recovered from the very humiliating 3-0 loss to Norway in the World Cup qualifiers. Italy are already on their heels with regard to the World Cup ticket, on Thursday the new national team coach, Gennaro Gattuso, met the press for the first time. Here it shows the Italian legend, with coaching jobs at AC Milan, Napoli, Valencia and Marseille behind him, he has not been idle. One of the first things he did in his job was to ask Federico Chiesa to “get his finger out”.
-I have spoken to 35 players in the last few days. Some have been left out of the squad in the past, but they can help us,” Gattuso begins, according to Football-Italia.

-I have also spoken to Chiesa. I have told him that he has to find a place where he can settle down and play regularly,” Gattuso said at the press conference.
Clear speech to the Liverpool player with a Premier League title in his debut season, but a poor 466 minutes in the match arena. Italy need the Chiesa they had at Euro 2021, when the right winger was a constant source of concern for the opposition’s defence.
In other words, get Chiesa off the Liverpool bench.
