Italy's Giorgio Chiellini relishing Confederations Cup appearance

Giorgio Chiellini says that he is looking forward to representing Italy at the Confederations Cup in Brazil in the summer.

Italy international defender Giorgio Chiellini has said that he is relishing the chance to play at the Confederations Cup in Brazil in the summer.

The Azzurri will participate in the tournament by virtue of finishing runners-up to defending world champions Spain at Euro 2012.

"It is a great moment to wear a new Italian national team kit for the first time on the pitch," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"The design is very impressive, especially the way the colours of the Italian flag have been incorporated.

"It fills me with pride to wear this Italian shirt and I am excited about the prospect of representing our nation in the upcoming Confederations Cup in Brazil."

Italy will take on Brazil in a friendly international on Thursday.
