    Zidanes Blames Materazzi Insults

    Zidane blames Materazzi insults

    The moment Zidane headbutted Materazzi to the ground
    Zinedine Zidane's agent says the France captain headbutted Marco Materazzi in Sunday's World Cup final because the Italian made a "very serious" comment.


    Zidane appeared to react to something that was said and was dismissed for his violent charge into his opponent.

    "He told me Materazzi said something very serious to him but he wouldn't tell me what," agent Alain Migliaccio told BBC Five Live Sport.

    Sources in France say it is believed Materazzi insulted Zidane's mother.

    Migliaccio, who spoke to Zidane early on Monday morning, added that Zidane did not elaborate on what Materazzi said.

    "I don't know. Zinedine didn't want to talk about it but it will all come out in the next week," he said.

    "He is a man who normally lets things wash over him but on Sunday night something exploded inside him.

    "He was very disappointed and sad. He didn't want it to end this way."

    Zinedine Zidane meets French President Jacques Chirac

    The France squad arrived back on Monday and went straight to a lunch reception hosted by President Jacques Chirac.

    Zidane was also in attendance and the French politician offered his support to the under-fire Real Madrid player.

    Chirac said: "Dear Zinedine, in such a hard and intense moment for you, I would like to express the whole nation's affection and admiration for you.

    "You are a virtuoso, a genius of football and an exceptional human being. That is why France admires you."

    Meanwhile, France defender William Gallas was adamant Zidane was provoked into the headbutt.

    "I didn't see it but sometimes football is not only with the ball," the Chelsea star told BBC Sport.

    "Sometimes when you have a player who is very clever and says something to you then maybe you are angry and want to 'kill' that player.

    Those of us who dismissed Materazzi while he was at Everton could only watch in bemusement as this maverick, short-tempered talent made a massive contribution to Italy's win.


    "Maybe, and I say maybe, he has made a mistake."

    Materazzi refused to answer questions afterwards and Gallas saw that as an admission of guilt by the Italian.

    "I don't know what he said. You'll have to ask him but he's gone. I know why he's gone because maybe he's done something wrong."

    On his way back to the dressing room after his 110th-minute dismissal, Zidane passed the World Cup trophy.

    It brought a sad end to his glittering career and his misery was compounded when France went on to lose 5-3 on penalties.

    "Zidane didn't say anything," said Gallas. "He was very disappointed for everybody - for the team and himself.

    "I'm very sad for him. It was his last World Cup and everybody wanted to win for him.

    "We deserved to win but that is life. I think we played very well and better than Italy but sometimes football is very strange.

    "Everybody is disappointed. I hope we will maybe win next time."


    The father of Marco Materazzi believed his son was the real victim in the incident.

    "I spoke to my son briefly after the game," said Giuseppe Materazzi.

    "Marco had told me he had been provoked. It's as though they have something against him each time.

    "In the past two years, Marco has only been on the receiving end and the injuries he has sustained are proof of this.

    "I don't want to be controversial, but there are things that have to be said instead of just pointing the finger and putting a black mark against someone."

    Materazzi has mental issues. I think they should admit to a psychological hospital immediately to be tested. He is a danger to everyone.

        Calm down bro you dont even know him off the football pitch. Anyways I believe Zidane should have told the public what was said to him by Marco so that the whole world can see what kind of character he is, and he will be hated and treated badly...not to mention embarassed worldwide.

            I wonder what called Marco to provoke him to say something like that.

            Zidane pulled the triger, It's obvious from the videos.

                thats pure bias from an italy fan.

                Its not in Zidanes character to be provoking others and this is evident throughout his career. Materazzi however, is known for his dirty play and behaviour.
