FLORENCE, Italy (AFP) - Italy centre-back Giorgio Chiellini said on Wednesday that Northern Ireland will be no push-overs at Windsor Park in Belfast in Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier.
Italy go into the double header -- with Serbia up next in Genoa on Tuesday -- leading Group C after two wins from two games.
Those were against minnows Estonia and the Faroe Islands, but Chiellini is expecting the Irish to provide a much sterner test.
