Giorgio Chiellini is an Italian footballer who currently plays for Serie A club Juventus and the Italian national team. He began his career as a left-back, but made his name as an aggressive, physical, hard-tackling centre back in a 3 or 4 man defence, with a penchant for scoring headers from set-pieces, due to his aerial prowess and strength. Walter Mazzarri once labeled him as "a force of nature, he's a universal player that any coach would love to have on his team. He is from another planet; he can mark three players by himself." A popular figure with fans, he is the club's vice-captain, behind Gianluigi Buffon. He made his debut for Italy in 2004, and has since earned over 70 caps. He was selected in the nation's squads for the 2004 Olympics, two UEFA European Championships, two FIFA Confederations Cups and two FIFA World Cups, helping the Azzurri to the final of UEFA Euro 2012. Chiellini is considered to be one of the top defenders in Europe, and in 2013 he was ranked as the seventh-best footballer playing in Europe by Bloomberg.
