MILAN (Reuters) - Marco Materazzi reconnaît dans une interview au quotidien sportif italien La Gazzetta dello Sport avoir évoqué la soeur de Zinedine Zidane lors de l'altercation qui a précédé l'expulsion du meneur de jeu français en prolongation de la finale de la Coupe du monde de football.

D'après le défenseur italien, l'évocation de sa soeur a conduit Zidane à asséner un coup de tête. Réduite à 10, la France a ensuite perdu la finale aux tirs au but et l'Italie a été sacrée championne du monde.

"Je ne l'ai pas provoqué, j'ai réagi verbalement à une provocation", rapporte Materazzi, cité mardi par la Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Nous avons parlé tous les deux et je n'ai pas été le premier. J'ai tenu son maillot mais ne croyez-vous pas que c'est une provocation de dire 'si tu veux mon maillot, je te le donnerai après'?"

"J'ai répondu à Zidane que je préférerais sa soeur, c'est vrai. J'ai parlé de sa soeur et ce n'était pas bien, c'est vrai", poursuit Materazzi.

"Heureusement, des dizaines de footballeurs peuvent confirmer que des choses bien pires sont dites sur les terrains."

La France accueille l'Italie mercredi dans le cadre des qualifications pour l'Euro2008 mais ni Zidane ni Materazzi ne seront présents. L'ancien capitaine français a pris sa retraite tandis que le défenseur de l'Inter Milan a été suspendu deux matches par la Fifa.

Materazzi refuse de présenter des excuses même s'il se dit prêt à faire un geste de réconciliation avec Zidane.

"Il ne m'a pas présenté d'excuses et je n'ai assurément pas à lui présenter d'excuses. Je dois plutôt présenter des excuses à sa soeur même si je jure que je ne savais même pas avant toute cette affaire que Zidane avait une soeur."

"S'il peut y avoir la paix après des guerres terribles, Zidane et moi-même ne pouvons-nous pas faire la paix? Une paix entre hommes, sans grande publicité, oui bien sûr.

"La porte de ma maison lui sera toujours ouverte et s'il le souhaite, Zidane sait comment trouver mon adresse."

This is stupid. Trash talk happens all the time!

Hell if they went to one of our games with our best friends, youd hear cursing all the time! :D

Zidane was at fault.

It was very normal! This is football, not patinage artistique for God's sake! This is what makes this game fun and enjoyable to watch: trash talking, hard fouls, being aggresive...

Maldini blasts ‘scandalous’ Blatter Wednesday 6 September, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan and Italy legend Paolo Maldini has launched a sensational attack on FIFA President Joseph Blatter.

The defender has taken issue with Blatter’s comportment after the Azzurri beat France on penalties to win the World Cup this summer.

Blatter opted to not be a part of the award ceremony when the side was handed the trophy, a snub which Maldini finds hard to digest.

“The way FIFA treated us in Berlin was scandalous,” the former Azzurri captain said in an interview to magazine Panorama.

“Blatter refused to hand over the trophy to us and this is a scandal that our Federation did not react to,” he added.

“I had never seen anything like this and what is worse, Blatter keeps expressing very harsh comments on Italian football

“Now I understand why we never won as much as we deserved in the past.

“I think I know why everyone shows so little consideration for Italy, it’s mainly a political issue, but I think the FIGC must now behave like a Federation of world champions and make themselves heard.”

The veteran added that he may consider becoming some kind of football ambassador once he quits the game, even if he’s unsure of what his future holds.

”I have thought about this, but I don’t know what I will do,” he added before also criticising another important figure in the game.

“Let’s take Michel Platini’s example, he was always considered a very outspoken person, but now his statements always depend on what people think about him. I don’t really like what he says.”

Maldini was also asked for an opinion on former Milan boss Fabio Capello who was blasted by Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero last week.

“I fought with Capello in the past and that is no secret,” he added. “Discussions with him are always very heated, but one of his qualities is that he forgets the past very quickly.

“However, I must admit that I believe Barcelona are stronger than his Real Madrid side this season.”

inno i'm not saying that it is right, but i think that the player shouldn't be silly & take the insult seriously... i mean the Great Micheal Jordan & the now-Governer-wannabe Charles Barkley used to talk trash to their match-ups.

of Course Materazzi is not an angel but Zidane naza3a
