Yes, we may not like Zinedine Zidane. Raised to the rank of icon in France for its exploits on football fields, the former number 10 of the Blues is also appreciated for its timid and reserved naturalness. But this apparent calm hides a fiery temperament. Indeed, “Zizou” is also known for his blood blows, as in the final of the 2006 World Cup lost by the French team against Italy, during which he had disgusted and gathered a blow head that has become legendary to Marco Materazzi.
A share of shadow which paid Pierre Ménès. If he remains a great admirer of Zidane the player, he does not appreciate the man, and for good reason … On his Youtube channel, the 61 -year -old sports journalist revealed having had a heated exchange with the native of Marseille. The latter would not have appreciated the content of a report broadcast after the 2006 World Cup on M6 and would have informed him to the former star consultant of Canal+, even going so far as to threaten him. If he remains a great admirer of Zidane the player, Ménès does not appreciate the man.
“He had threatening remarks that I did not tolerate”
“” Sporting level, he is the best French player in history, it is undeniable, first wanted to recall Ménès. After it is true that I never hung with man. After his expulsion at the 2006 World Cup, M6 sent us to make an “complement of investigation” in Berlin on the expulsion of Zidane. I had dug on the phone a few days before who had said to me: “Go Mollo with Zidane, it is not good ». The show is a hit and the next day not a comment on what I said about Zidane. »»
“A few days later he (Zidane) calls me, and said to me:” The sluts you told in Berlin … “, said the journalist. And there I am a little surprised and I said to him: “You saw the show” and he said to me: “No, I was repeated to me”. If it is an illiterate who repeated it to you I can do nothing for you. I said to him: “Look at it and remind me”. And there he had threatening remarks that I did not tolerate. Humanly, he doesn't interest me much. Which does not take anything on the admiration I can have for him as a player. »» That is said.
