Zidane did not specify exactly what Italian defender Marco Materazzi said that enraged him, but that it was insulting to his sister and mother.
"I would rather have taken a punch in the jaw than have heard that,'' Zidane said, stressing that Materazzi's language was "very harsh.''
Meanwhile, excerpts from an interview that Materazzi gave to Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport were posted on its website.
"I didn't say anything to him about racism, religion or politics,'' Materazzi told the Gazzetta. "I didn't talk about his mother either ... I didn't know his [mother] was in the hospital, I give her my best wishes ... He's always been my hero, I admire him a lot.'' Materazzi has acknowledged he insulted Zidane, without giving specifics.
During the match Materazzi kept pulling Zidane's shirt (which is a style of marking a man in football) Zidane got irritated and said that Materazzi could have his shirt after the match. In return Materazzi said that he would better marry his sister. Zidane got angry on this head butt him!
Because everything that Materrazi said is correct. He is a terrorist, and a goof. Watching Zidane pass by the World Cup in shame was pure joy.Also Materrazi said things about Zidanes mum and sister that still are uncomfirmed.Good thing your teaching kids that violence is justified… just like the real terrorist you are.
