Chiesa's new Liverpool role predicted by Allegri
Federico Chiesa started his first Premier League game for Liverpool on Monday, playing as a centre-forward, a role that Massimiliano Allegri had predicted for the ex-Juventus star a few years ago. Chiesa made his first Liverpool start in the Premier League earlier this week, playing through the middle of the Reds' three-man attack in Brighton. Advertisement Although he only played for 63 minutes in a 3-2 loss, Slot was happy with what he saw from Chiesa at the Amex Stadium. 'I think the big quality Federico has is scoring goals, so the more you get him minutes around the box, the bigger chances he has to score a goal,' Slot said at a post-match press conference. 'He got a good chance before Mo had his big chance. Mo [Salah] assisted Federico for him to have an open shot from 18 yards. It was a good chance for Federico because he's such a great finisher. What Slot said about Chiesa 'I think he did even more than what I expected from him. If you haven't played throughout the season, and then playing Brighton away which is a very good team. For him to be out for so long and play a game like this is more than I could expect.' Advertisement Chiesa's new Liverpool role is not entirely new for the ex-Juventus star. ROME, ITALY – APRIL 23: Massimiliano Allegri, Head Coach of Juventus, looks on prior to the Coppa Italia Semi-final Second Leg match between SS Lazio and Juventus FC at Stadio Olimpico on April 23, 2024 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) The 27-year-old, in fact, had already played a few games as a centre striker in Turin, under Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian tactician had predicted in 2021 that Chiesa would move from the flanks to the middle of the attack in the later stages of his career. 'I told Federico my evaluation, which is that he can play as a centre-forward or a support striker,' Allegri said more than three years ago. Chiesa has scored two goals and provided two assists in 14 appearances across all competitions with Liverpool this term. His contract at Anfield runs out in June 2028.

Arne Slot sends Federico Chiesa message after Liverpool start - 'more than I could expect'
Arne Slot defended the performance of Federico Chiesa after the Italian started his first league game of the season in the penultimate Premier League fixture of the season at Brighton & Hove Albion. Liverpool lost the match 3-2, with Chiesa struggling to make an impact before being substituted for Darwin Nunez in the 63rd minute. It has been a disappointing season for the 27-year-old, who was Liverpool's only signing of last summer when he completed a £12.5m switch from Juventus. He's scored just twice for the Reds, against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup and a late consolation in the Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle, struggling with his fitness in the first half of the campaign and then to break into Liverpool's matchday squad in the latter half of the season.

He said: "I think the biggest quality Federico has is scoring goals, so the more you get him in and around the box, the more chance you have of him scoring a goal. "He got a good chance just before Mo (Salah) had his big chance, Mo assisted for Federico. For him to have an open shot in 18-yard-box is a very good chance for Federico because he's such a good finisher. He added: "I think he did even more than I can expect from him, because if you haven't played throughout the whole season, hardly ever start and then play Brighton away, a very good team who can bring Kaoru Mitoma on minutes before the end, that tells you everything about this league. "For him to be out for so long and then play a game like this is more than I could expect from him."

Suspect appears in court Tuesday for murder of Waxhaw student shot while visiting friends in Columbia
COLUMBIA, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The man accused of killing a 22-year-old college student from Waxhaw, North Carolina, is set to appear in Columbia Municipal Court on Tuesday. Alexander Dickey, a convicted felon, is facing a long list of serious charges connected to a violent home invasion that left South Piedmont Community College student Logan Federico dead. RELATED: More than $33,000 raised for family of slain Waxhaw college student Dickey, who remains in jail without bond, will stand before a judge on Tuesday to hear the charges formally read against him: Murder Two counts of first-degree burglary Two counts of possession of a weapon during a violent crime Two counts of grand larceny (valued between $2,000 and $10,000) One count of grand larceny (valued over $10,000) Three counts of financial transaction card theft Possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon Authorities said Dickey broke into two homes in Columbia, S.C., fatally shooting Federico in one of them. He is also accused of stealing credit cards, a firearm, and a vehicle. After attempting to flee, police said Dickey set a home on fire and had to be rescued before he was arrested. The murder has devastated Federico's family and community. Known for her kind heart and dreams of becoming a teacher, Logan was visiting friends in Columbia at the time of the deadly break-in. Her father, Stephen Federico, spoke at a recent news conference. 'You can't kill my spirit,' he said. 'You can kill my body, but not the love shared by my family and friends.' A GoFundMe campaign set up to help with funeral expenses and support the family has already raised more than $34,000. The fundraiser remembers Logan as 'a proud Eagles fan who now watches from above' and someone who 'leaves behind her brother Jacob, her loving parents, and countless people who were better for knowing her.'

Stephen described her as a 'spicy' individual, as reported by the ABC affiliate WACH-TV. He also shared an Instagram post that said: My daughter knows I have her back and I know she has mine. 'BIG PERSONALITY' 'I didn't raise a princess, I raised a warrior.' Stephen revealed he's still waiting for Federico to reply back to his text message that said: 'I love you.' And, he had a defiant message to his daughter's alleged killer. 'The message I wanted to send to Dickey, who took my daughter's life — this is from her: 'You can't kill my spirit,' he said in a press conference. 'You might be able to kill my body … but you cannot kill my love that my family and friends shared with me.' Federico was planning on studying at the College of Charleston in South Carolina in her pursuit to become a teacher. Meanwhile, Dickey has been charged with murder, burglary, credit card theft and weapons possession. He had previously been convicted of robbery and grand larceny.
