We will see Federico Chiesa addresses his future after scoring in Liverpool friendlyFederico Chiesa has stated his firm desire to remain at Liverpool as he seeks a fresh start under new head coach Andoni Iraola.The Italian forward has had limited game-time at Anfield thus far, playing just under 1,200 minutes in all competitions since joining from Juventus two years ago and starting only twice in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ONAPPLE&GOOGLE PLAYThe 28-year-olds future has been the subject of speculation once again this summer, with some reports last month that Merseyside chiefs would be open to offers of as little as 20m (17m) for him, although the player himself is in no hurry to leave.Chiesa is happy to remain at LiverpoolSpeaking after Liverpools 4-2 win over Sunderland on Saturday in which he scored the Reds third goal Chiesa couldnt hide his frustration at playing so little under Arne Slot but is hopeful of having a bigger role with Iraola in charge.The Italian said (viaLiverpool Echo):Right now, at the moment, I am happy here at Liverpool. I love the club, I love the fans, I love everything.I am doing the best I can to have a chance here, and then we will see. At the minute, the only thing I am thinking about is Liverpool. I dont know, it is difficult to say [if this is a fresh start]. It is always a fresh start at the beginning of the year.Maybe there have been too many fresh starts, but I dont care. I am trying to do my best for this new manager. Last season under Arne Slot, I was trying to do my best.Last year I felt ready for a bigger role, then it depended on the coach whether he wanted me to play or not. Of course I wanted to play more but it is what it is. The gaffer decided to do so. He had his game plans, he took his decisions. I have nothing to say about that. It is football. This year, let us say it is a new chapter. There is a new manager and I have to focus on that. He put me striker today and he wants me there. The only conversations Ive had [with Iraola] were about pressing and tactics.Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?

Tadej Pogacar has opened the door to participating in the Vuelta a Espana but said he will take time to enjoy celebrating a fifth Tour de France title before making a final call.Pogacar secured a record-equalling yellow jersey in Paris on Sunday, matching the tally of Eddy Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Indurain and Bernard Hinault with another dominant success.Tadej Pogacar claimed his fifth Tour de France title (Reuters)The Slovenian has now won the last three editions of the Tour and, at just 27, would appear to have plenty of time yet to chase the outright record and beyond.The 2024 Giro dItalia winner is also a 13-time Monument man, but the Vuelta is one of the few prizes in professional cycling that eludes Pogacar.Having announced his arrival as a Grand Tour force with a podium finish as a 20-year-old on debut in 2019, Pogacar has not since raced in Spain and suggested that he had not yet made up his mind if he will compete this year.Right now, if it it starts tomorrow, I would say no, Pogacar admitted with the Vuelta set to start on 22 August. In two weeks, I can still decide."Right now, I just want to enjoy the moment of winning the Tour, if it's fifth or the first it doesn't matter. It's unbelievable to wear the yellow jersey and cross the finish line in Paris winning it. I will just enjoy the moment, not thinking about any history, not thinking about any clubbing or whatever. I just want to enjoy this moment, and come back home and enjoy the small things in life. I'm really happy and proud to win the fifth Tour. Every single one of them has a different story, a different meaning, different emotions. Each one of them feels incredible and emotional for me."A Vuelta victory for Pogacar would complete the Grand Tour set, a feat achieved by only eight male riders. Jonas Vingegaard, Pogacars great rival, joined the club with Giro success earlier this year.The Spanish race will embark from Monaco, where Pogacar lives, and travel through four countries across three weeks of racing.The five-time Tour champion is cautious to avoid burnout having fought off fatigue on his way to his fourth crown last year.I didn't say last year I was burning out, but I was well aware that it could happen," Pogacar explained. "I'm also aware now. The burnout doesn't mean you're sad one day, or you don't feel one day on the bike, it means chronic fatigue and you're not happy on the bike when you go riding. Everything feels like a job."I'm aware that this can happen if you push too hard. That's why I don't want to say I go to Vuelta, I go to that. I need to think about this. Keep the feet on the ground."
