Time passed, and the truth came out, told by one of its protagonists.
The 2006 World Cup final played between Italy and France at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin had an unforgettable event when Zinedine Zidane, in his last game as a professional, attacked Marco Materazzi with a headbutt to the chest.
After 17 years from that moment, the Italian revealed the phrase with which he made his rival explode. “He told me that he would offer me his shirt after the game and I replied: ‘No, I prefer your sister’,” he said.
“People who live in the United States know this about the NBA, what we call ‘trash-talking’. My tone was minimal. He told me that he would offer me his jersey after the game and I replied: ‘No, I prefer your sister ‘”, revealed the former Italian footballer in dialogue with Football Italian TV.
