Even today there are many fans who remember quite well the night when Zinédine Zidane, just a few minutes away from ending a brilliant career, lost his temper, severely provoked by the former Inter defender.
His header on Materazzi's chest will remain in the history of football, of course not as a "complimentary" for the legend of French football. Not even Materazzi is proud, who speaking for "The Times" has returned to that moment, which he wishes had never happened. The former Italian defender admits that "Zizou" offered him his shirt, while he asked for better... his sister.
Almost 18 years after winning the World Cup final with France, Marco Materazzi recalled the famous episode of the verbal clash with Zidane, which ended with the headbutt and the sending off of the Frenchman with a red card:
"I don't like it at the moment. It doesn't match what my career has been. That episode should never have happened. In the tension of that final in Berlin, between fights and insults, Zidane offered me his shirt, while I said no, because I preferred his sister. Then he turned around and reacted as everyone remembers. I never met Zinedine again".
On this occasion, Materazzi reconfirmed his assessment of Mourinho as the best coach he has had in his career: "Jose is the best coach I have had. I was used to feeling important, captain, but with Mourinho I started to lose importance. However, he was honest with me from the first moment.
The story of his farewell, after the final of the Champions League, won by us in the 'Bernabeu'? We both cried. I asked him why he was leaving Inter, why was he leaving me alone? I was convinced that with Mourinho we could continue to win, maybe not another Champions League, but other titles. However, he had already decided to leave for Real Madrid".
