Federico Chiesa may not receive a winning medal even if he experiences his first league win in his life.
The British edition of ESPN reported on the 24th (Korea time) that even if Liverpool wins the English Premier League (EPL) this season, Chiesa could not receive a winning medal.
According to the media 'EPL regulations, an athlete must compete in at least five competitions to receive a winning medal.
Chiesa has made just four league appearances this season, and played only 15 minutes into 2025. Liverpool may give Chiesa a medal, but he is not obligated to do so.
Chiesa wore a Liverpool jersey ahead of this season. Juventus, which chose to switch to Thiago Mota's system last summer, notified Chiesa of the release. If he doesn't transfer, he can't play." Chiesa, once considered to have the potential to command the Italian stage, was on the transfer market at a very low price.
Liverpool have signed Chiesa. Liverpool expected Chiesa to play a role in relieving Mohamed Salah's burden of playing, and sometimes to act as Salah's attacking partner. Liverpool fans also did not expect much from Kiesa, but expected him to play a role as a rotation member.
That expectation was completely wrong. Chiesa was no more helpful to Liverpool than the youngsters. Earlier in the season, he missed two months due to a muscle injury. He returned from injury, but Liverpool manager Arne Slot had no confidence in Chiesa at all. He only played in insignificant games, and treated Kiesa as an out-of-power player.
As a result, Kiesa played only 12 games this season. Even if the total playing time is combined, it cannot exceed 400 minutes. He was further excluded from the league. He has played in four games so far, but has not played a game as a starter, and has only played 33 minutes as a substitute.
Liverpool can secure an early victory in the upcoming Tottenham match as the championship is confirmed with just one more point added Even if the championship is confirmed, it is highly likely that Kiesa will continue to be shunned in the future if the current atmosphere continues. The standard for receiving a league-winning medal is five league games in that season, so Chiesa may not meet the standard.
First of all, the EPL secretariat makes 40 medals and gives them to the winning team. Medals paid must be given to all athletes who have competed in five or more events. The remaining medals are now judged autonomously by the club. There is no rule that it must be distributed only to players. It doesn't matter at all if you give it to the coach or coaching staff. If you hand out medals to the staff, 40 is not such a relaxed quantity. Will Chiesa be able to win the championship medal.
