BREAKING NEWS: Federico Chiesa Just Broke a Liverpool Record That Stood Since 1906!

Federico Chiesa may still be adjusting to life at Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot, but the Italian winger has already made history at Anfield. Chiesa has become the first Liverpool player since 1906 to win each of his first eight competitive matches for the club, a record that had remained untouched for over a century.

This remarkable feat was confirmed by Opta’s Michael Reid, who revealed that the last player to accomplish such a start was George Latham nearly 120 years ago. Interestingly, Jayden Danns, another promising talent, also matched this milestone after featuring in Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Ipswich on Saturday.

Signed from Juventus for £12.5 million last summer, Chiesa’s time at Liverpool initially got off to a slow start due to injuries and fitness concerns. However, in recent weeks, he has seen increased playing time, and the results have been nothing short of perfect.

Over the last two weeks alone, the Italian international has played as many matches (four) as he had in the previous four months, signaling a significant step towards full match fitness. Slot has been easing him back into action, ensuring that he regains sharpness before becoming a regular starter.

His impact was particularly felt in Liverpool’s 4-0 FA Cup victory over Accrington Stanley, where he scored his first goal for the club. Since then, he has made substitute appearances against Brentford, Lille, and Ipswich, helping the team maintain their impressive unbeaten run.

Chiesa’s next major challenge could come in the Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. With his growing confidence and match-winning form, Slot may finally hand him his first start since September. Alternatively, he could be held back for the FA Cup fourth-round tie against Plymouth on February 9.

While records like these may not define a player’s legacy, they highlight just how influential Chiesa has been whenever he steps onto the pitch. His presence has coincided with a winning mentality that has fueled Liverpool’s strong performances across all competitions.

As for George Latham, who previously held this record, his Liverpool career did not last long after his historic start. After securing eight straight wins, he managed only one more victory in his next 19 appearances before leaving for Southport.

For Chiesa, however, the hope is that this record-breaking achievement is only the beginning of a long and successful chapter at Anfield. His versatility, speed, and attacking intelligence could make him a key figure in Liverpool’s title ambitions this season.

The Reds have been in fantastic form under Arne Slot, and Chiesa’s growing confidence could play a crucial role in their pursuit of domestic and European silverware. Fans are eager to see whether he can turn these short cameos into match-defining performances on a regular basis.

Despite the initial struggles of adapting to English football, Chiesa is proving why Liverpool made the move for him. His blend of technical ability and work ethic aligns perfectly with the high-pressing style that Slot is trying to implement at Anfield.

With Mohamed Salah currently sidelined, Chiesa’s return to full fitness comes at the perfect time for Liverpool, giving them an additional attacking weapon to maintain momentum in multiple competitions.

Many supporters believe that once Chiesa gets a full 90-minute game, he could cement his place as one of the most important signings of the season. His hunger for success and relentless attacking play have already caught the attention of the Anfield faithful.

If he continues at this winning rate, Federico Chiesa could establish himself as a modern Liverpool legend, breaking more records and helping the club achieve new heights under Slot’s leadership.

For now, Liverpool fans can only hope that his incredible unbeaten streak continues, as the team fights for trophies on multiple fronts.
