Giorgio Chiellini earned the nickname `` King Kong '' partly because of his goal celebrations , in which he beat his chest .
`` Due to his tenacious , no-nonsense playing style , Chiellini has been described as an `` '' old-fashioned '' '' centre-back , who primarily serves as a ball-winner ; his physicality and aggression as a deffender have earned him the nickname `` '' King Kong '' '' . ''
