Answer 1

It is very simple. as you are already using fruits array to add or remove the items, thus you can access fruits array any where in your html file of that component

<h1> *ngFor="let fruit of fruits">{{fruit}} </h1>

Answer 2

Move <mat-chip> out of <mat-form-field></mat-form-field>

 <div>
      <mat-chip
      *ngFor="let fruit of fruits"
      [selectable]="selectable"
      [removable]="removable"
      (removed)="remove(fruit)">
      {{fruit}}
      <mat-icon matChipRemove *ngIf="removable">cancel</mat-icon>
    </mat-chip>

  </div>

Answer 3

Use simple auto-complete to search players and display the selected players as chip-list inside the outer div as like below

<mat-form-field class="example-chip-list">    
    <input matInput placeholder="New fruit..." #fruitInput [formControl]="fruitCtrl" [matAutocomplete]="auto">
    <mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete" (optionSelected)="selected($event)">
        <mat-option *ngFor="let fruit of filteredFruits | async" [value]="fruit">
            {{fruit}}
        </mat-option>
    </mat-autocomplete>    
</mat-form-field>

<div class="otherDiv">
    <mat-chip-list>
        <mat-chip *ngFor="let fruit of fruits" [selectable]="selectable" [removable]="removable" (removed)="remove(fruit)">
            {{fruit}}
            <mat-icon matChipRemove *ngIf="removable">cancel</mat-icon>
        </mat-chip>
    </mat-chip-list>
</div>

Answer 4

Just move the input field outside (top or bottom) of the </mat-chip-list> and you should be fine.

You might want to add some padding/margin after that :)
