His fluent English has revealed how complex it is to enclose in a definition, in a simplification – albeit football – Federico Chiesa, the man who solves and who recovers when a game is unlocked. There Juventus he decided to invest in his talent and his restless will to succeed, when other contenders had revealed themselves, with equally attractive proposals and offers, but to be convinced he negotiated and not a little on the less obvious aspects, at least for a twenty year old today.
Federico Chiesa, the story of an unforeseen talent
Federico Chiesa was born in Genoa on 25 October 1997, when his father Enrico was at the peak of his career: raised in the youth academy of Sampdoria, a red thread tied him to the coach Roberto Mancini, the man who today invented the grafting of his son during Italy-Austria and allowed him, in the midst of a critical situation that anyone who has witnessed, to score one of the most beautiful goals of these Europeans.
The great beauty also lies in this, in building a feat with the right dose of genius and recklessness and perhaps even recklessness for this boy, who is everything, except a predestined: his talent, his quality exploded late, when for others there were already the starting shirts. Instead Federico has struggled, in the youth of the Fiorentina to show his technical qualities and that opportunism that, with a pinch of cynicism, can make an attacker intelligent as well as gifted. In Spring he gives his best and begins to get noticed, bypassing – according to some – his father Enrico which has never supported the exaggerations which – unfortunately – we often witness. Indeed, by the common will of the parents, Federico he studies and has a certain propensity (as well as for languages, having studied at the English school) for scientific subjects, but he does not carry out any university path at least for now, unlike his companions Matteo Pessina e Giacomo Raspadori (to name just two).
The role of parents in Federico Chiesa’s career
His family supported him, but he never interfered and so was his brother Lorenzo, also a footballer born in 2004. In a recent interview, Federico summarized the important training steps and the role played by his parents, in his human and professional growth:
“Who influenced my passion? My family. When I started taking my first steps I always had the ball attached to my feet. Passion passed on to me by my father, taking me to the Settimianese at the age of seven. We have a wonderful relationship with my father. He has a lot of experience and when he gives me some advice I am pleased. Playing football every day I like to talk about other things too, but let’s say that almost everyone in my family understands football. My mom has been 20 years behind my dad in her career. And on a behavioral level, they gave me lots of advice, they passed on the values of humility and the desire to always improve. Growing up they always asked me the best, both in football and in studies and at school. All this helped me to become the man I am today ”.
Maurizio Romei, president of the Settignanese (his first company), explained well the difficulties of the beginnings for Federico Chiesa, with these statements a The Gazzetta dello Sport:
“When he was with us he mainly used his right: the left improved him at Fiorentina and today he kicks in the same way with both. Every time I see his father I tell him: explain to your son that he has to score more goals. Today Federico is as he was five years ago: small but he wanted to arrive, he applied himself. More than winning, he wanted to convince: himself and others, ”he said.
Chiesa’s influencer girlfriend: who is Benedetta Quagli
For two years he has been linked to Benedetta Quagli, influence who supports him and with whom he shares a passion for football and sport in general. Both animal lovers, they take care of their two poodles who often triumph in their posts on Instagram, which sees the player’s public and private converge: Benedetta, his parents, his dogs and triumphs with the Fiorentina, the Juventus and also with the National.
And there are those who are already inclined to entrust the next adventure of the quarters, against Belgium of Romelu Lukaku, to him, to this 23-year-old boy who without fanfare exploded blue enthusiasm (and hope) against Austria.
