Zidane speaks out

12th July 2006

zidane-tv.jpgZinedine Zidane finally gave his version of the events which lead to his sending off. Speaking to Canal Plus earlier this evening, ZZ apologised especially to the children and viewing public for his behaviour but said that he did not regret what he had done. Zizou said that Materazzi had used “some very strong words” and that the insults were directed at his mother and his sister. However, he did not reveal what everyone was waiting to hear - the exact words Materazzi used. This looks now looks like becoming one of those football mysteries that will never be resolved, such as why Ronaldo suffered convulsions before the final at France 1998.
