Malta Striker Effiong Fires Warning To Cahill, Smalling : I Have Played Against Better Defenders Chiellini, Bonucci
Published: October 07, 2016 
The Nigerian-born frontman said he is not scared of the Three Lions defenders - Gary Cahill, Danny Rose, Chris Smalling and John Stones- insisting that he has played against tougher defenders.
“Everyone is looking forward to the game tomorrow, the mood in the camp is good because everyone is of high spirit, ” said Effiong to allnigeriasoccer.com.
“I have never been scared playing football not minding who the opposition is, I have played against Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci of Italy and I believe they found it hard defending against me.
“ So I don’t think the England defense can be compared to that of Italy.”
Thirteen minutes passed when Effiong netted his maiden goal in the World Cup qualifiers, in Malta’s 5-1 loss to another Homes Nations team Scotland in September.
