Ah! The famous headbutt. He deserved it though, wont let any trash talk my siblings in my presence

Don't mind the paedophile up there who saw nothing wrong in Metarazzi's comment.

Zidane f^cked up, it wasn't a perfect headbutt because blood wasn't spilled.

Microwhy:

Seriously you type like someone who came from a woke family. Your mom would probably be a little pretty and not pot belly due to child birth.
Ramming your mom from behind while that breast you see as nothing at home dangle with slow motion while on her knees won't be a bad idea.
I go like dick your mama no matter how old she is, pvssy na pvssy..
Werey! While reading this, how is your blood pressure?
If you don't feel angry, the mother and child love in your family is totally zero.

in your life never type this rubbish again are you mad

You're talking trash

Freshtruth:
Zindane acted childishly wetin dey there? Just be like wey dem tell small pikin say I go like knack your mama the pikin go begging vex. Now tell a grown up man say I go like knack your mama he take am as normal gimmick talk.
If I were France president I will never give zindane d job cause he cost them a world cup trophy and brought shame to the Nation at large. .
Matarazzi pls try and find zindane sister or daughter number make sure u knack her wella do a veido and send to zindane

Matarazzi is a liat

As I recall…

The head butt was during a game…

How can zidane offer his jersey during a match?

This head butt story has so many versions to it with both players saying different things.

Abegi!

exactly!

Then the head butt is even too soft punishment for you. I blame Zidane he should have headbutt your mouth so hard and make sure 3 of your teeth pulled out next time you don't come on pitch to insult people.

Hannaz:

At the expense of the team objective and the nation at large....he was silly, lacks emotional stability.

Remember wondering what nonsense. A classic match with Zizzou terrorizing the Italian defence, and having the goalkeeper and crossbar coming to their rescue, with the thought that it's just a matter of time before Zinedine scores, and then boom, the moment of madness. It was embarrassing. Guess, both must have been issues during their days at Juve and Inter. The pressure from the french ceased, and it went into penalties. Rest is history.

i wonder ooo... This was just my thoughts

Rahkman:
please who be that zidane sister ...wey this mad man throw away world cup wey him Don nearly win for??

This one na speculation abeg the game was 1-1 before the incident happened and if I recall correctly it was in extra time.
Mind you the 2006 world cup finals was decided on penalties.

Lol, sheybe you no wise ni, go tell person you are not in good talking term with them say you go like knack their mama make them break your head with sledge hammer.

Amotolongbo:
He knows himself that was a thrash which can only come out of a bin.

Imagine how that silly statement just changed the course of the tournament and deprived us all of enjoying the rest of Zidane. Of course, Zizou wasn’t planning to retire before the incidence.

Some tongues are more destructive than the nuclear weapons

This boy how old re you?

Omo that headbutt enter oh and zidane come get bald head. the insult really got Zidane so bad.

How can Zidane offer him jessey, the story no clear

idu1:



You don old o

There are much more older people here lol. You think say NL are fir only indomie generations? A lot of people started NL with Seun 18 years ago sef. You can imagine how old those people could be today. Check the NL anniversary thread and you'd be surprised when reading people's comments 😃

I remember this event vividly. This was during a world Cup and Zidane was given a red card immediately for this. Funny thing, I didn't even know him then. It was after the head butt, that his name stuck.

badoh:

Is it every footballer that will toe the path of becoming a club manager, the way some of you reason self. Do you know what the other player has also achieved or accomplished outside football?

Haba. Before you open your mouth to criticize, at least do a quick internet search if you are not sure of what you want to say. Matterazi did toe the path of club manager and was an outstanding failure. Go and verify. And while at it check the meaning of obscurity as well.

. It clearly shows who you are as a person(irresponsible), well! don't try that nonsense with a responsible person especially Muslim, he will beat you black and white. You better insult him personally.

Luckysbab:


You are comparing a tense situation to a relaxed setting?

Nothing anyone SAYS should shuffle you otherwise you're giving control of yourself over to them. You know your mother or sister is not a LovePeddler. Different if they put their hands on you or yours. Sometimes the best response to insult is no immediate response. Especially when the person is of lower status.

mightyhaze:
Na this head butt make people to Sabi mattarazi.. nobody knew him before then


That's why it's always better never to give nonentities the attention they crave

Xidane would have just ignored him

Materazzi equalized for Italy after France went ahead.



So, it was not just about the headbutt. He tried in that match. He also converted his own penalty during the shootout.

sorry brother I beg to disagree you on this one, de two players gave de same account of the event the only difference is that materazzi is just speaking about it now.i remember clearly watching an interview where zidane narrated what happened he said materazzi was tugging on his shirt so much then he told materazzi to take it easy so as not to tear Jessy, zidane went ahead to razzi that they will swap Jessie's after the game but Razzi told zizi that he would rather have zizi's sister than, this triggered zizi's reaction. Zizi's narrated this in 2006 he spoke in french but de interview had an English interpreter

Gajagojo:

He acted angrily
It is not only children that fight.
What is normal in one culture is different in another.because it is acceptable to abuse mothers where you live does not mean it is so all over the world. In Some places it will result in death. Not everyone plays with their family. They didn't lose because he was sent off

He acted foolishly.



Despite knowing he would get a red card, he still went ahead to headbutt simply because he could not manage his anger. If he had kept his eyes on the goal (which was to win the World Cup), he would have simply ignored Materazzi.



Compare Zidane when he was a player and Zidane the manager, and you would notice he has learnt to manage his anger considerably.

Exactly.



Especially when you have a goal right ahead of you.




Zidane knew the implications of physical violence in football. Straight red card.




He knew he was the pillar of the team. He knew that his dismissal would destabilize the team.



He should have thought better than do something that foolish.

Abfinest007:
and who told u France would have won the world cup with zidane on the field.2006 italian squad too complete from goal keeper to striker.

France would have won.



Zidane was the pillar of the team.




Just because he was not on the pitch in 2002, look how ordinary France was. Even Henri admitted that their poor performance in 2002 World Cup was because of the absence of Zidane.




Zidane was not just the captain, he was the motivator.

fergie001:

He was personally marking Zidane in the Italian box and was all over him. So Zidane asked him: "Why are you all over me, do you want my jersey (in Italian - Zizou played in Juve for about 5 years)

this your story strong o

I doubt if that was what materazi told Zizou. Come to think of it, the match had not finished how can you start requesting for jersey at that tense period. Secondly, Zidane had played in Italy and knows must if not all Italian players, thirdly, Zidane is a better player to metarazi. So, what that man said is not true. I strongly feel its something worse. That was just part of the plans to get at some of the best French players so as to destabilize them psychologically and it worked.

Metarazi's plan might have worked then, but comparing the two players as players and couch, Zizou is far ahead.

They fixed that game.

Zidane not to win fifa world footballer
Italy to win world cup

Nigeria to get red card ...keita
Nigeria not to. qualify ... Ask yakubu

It is evidence of deep immaturity, just like what Will Smith did. Except that Smith was even better because you could say he was trying to impress his wife and the onlookers. Zidane - only him heard the guy! How immature can a person be!

You are ill-cultured. The nonsense you Nigerians say to each other is considered offensive in any developed world. Imagine what you wrote up there plus those who liked it.

I still have my first account in NL from 2005. It is still active but the last time I used it was 2008. And I am just 36.
