On July 9, 2006, Zinédine Zidane delivered a violent headbutt to Marco Materrazzi’s chest. More than 18 years after this famous event, the 1998 Ballon d’Or and the 2006 world champion have never discussed this subject. However, the Italian would like to have this famous discussion with Zizou, as he himself confided during an interview for Lucky Block.
“ I haven’t spoken to Zinedine Zidane since that day, I had never spoken to him before and I didn’t speak to him after. We don’t have a relationship. He’s a football legend and I have a lot of respect for him as a player and as a coach, who won three Champions Leagues in a row. I’m not trying to apologize anymore, but I’ll be happy to have a conversation with him now that so many years have passed. There would be no problem “, indicated the former Italian international defender. It remains to be seen whether Zinedine Zidane – who has since admitted his mistake – will also be open to this proposal.
