Zidane apologizes for head butt
www.guardian.co.uk
Zinedine Zidane has apologised for his remarkable assault on Marco Materazzi
during the World Cup final, saying tonight that he was provoked by insults
about his mother and sister.
"I want to ask for forgiveness from all the children who watched that,"
Zidane said in a French TV interview. "There was no excuse for it. I want to
be open and honest about it.
"I do apologise but I don't regret my behaviour because regretting it would
mean he was right to say what he said."
However, Zidane refused to specify exactly what Materazzi said that caused
him to headbutt the Italian defender in the chest with 11 minutes of
extra-time remaining - an act that led to his dismissal before France's
penalty shoot-out defeat.
All Zidane would say was that Materazzi repeatedly insulted him and his
family, and that the Italian's remarks were "very personal and concerned my
mother and sister. I tried not to listen to him but he kept repeating them.
"I am a man and some words are harder to hear than actions. I would have
rather been knocked down than hear that."
The now retired France No10 denied speculation in many newspaper reports that
Materazzi had called him a "terrorist".
