Match many details are remembered from which always stand out some details that attract attention From football fans for their emotional value and importance… Something happened at the end of 2006 FIFA World Cup between France and Italy Which still gives a lot to talk about today.
Zidane’s header in Materazzi
This final began with very early goals, then Zidane first and Materazzi would have opened the score that would not be moved again until the penalty shootout in which the Italian national team emerged champions. A result that was left for dessert after a move that probably everyone is thinking about and with which Zinedine Zidane ended his career as a professional football player. A header for Materazzi himself cost him the parcel for the direct red.
A step that after more than 18 years still gives a lot to talk about and even more so when the one who suffered from such a strong entrance launched a proposal to the former player and former coach of Real Madrid. The former Italian footballer is ready to resume contact with Zidane. An unexpected proposal that has not yet received a public response from the Frenchman.
A few words were given by the world champion in 2006 at Lucky block Where he was clear about his relationship with Zizou: “I haven’t spoken to Zinedine Zidane since that day, I haven’t spoken to him before and I haven’t spoken to him since. We have no relationship“, He begins by telling about his connection with The Legend of world football. Although he points out that at that moment when the door opens for dialogue: “he is a legend of the game, I have a lot of respect for him as a player and coach, he won three Champions Leagues in a row. I’m no longer looking for an apology, but I would have had a conversation with him now that many years have passed. There will be no problem“, He concludes.
Although there is still no response to these words of Matteo Materazzi, Zinedine Zidane has already apologized for what happened: “two or three billion people watched it on TV, millions and millions of children were watching it. It was an unforgivable gesture , and for them and for people in education whose task is to show children what they should and should not do, I want to apologize“, He said many years ago. A few words, along with those spoken in Italian, could be the final point of what happened that night of July 9, 2006.
