Materazzi finally reveals the jibe
which made Zidane see red in World Cup final
Italy defender Marco Materazzi has finally revealed the exact words
he used to provoke Zinedine Zidane into headbutting him in last
year's World Cup final.
"I prefer the whor.e that is your sister," he said in a interview
with the TV Sorrisi e Canzoni magazine which comes out on Monday,
Italian media reported on Saturday.
Materazzi had previously said that he had mentioned the France
midfielder's sister in the verbal jousting between the two in the
Berlin final, but had never given the exact words.
Zidane, who retired after the final, was sent off for the headbutt
and Italy subsequently won on penalties.
