The forward always seemed predestined to star for the Azzurri, for whom his dad Enrico scored at Anfield in Euro 96
Federico Chiesa was not yet born when his dad scored for Italy at a European Championship in England. The Azzurri were a goal down to the Czech Republic at Anfield in 1996. Enrico Chiesa took possession midway inside his own half, sprinted forward 50 yards and fed a pass to Diego Fuser, overlapping down the right wing.
He continued his run into the box, ready for the return ball. Two defenders converged on Chiesa, sweeping his standing leg from underneath him, but not before he had drilled the ball underneath their keeper.
