Zinedine Zidane is accused of having shown selfishness during the 2006 World Cup final lost by the Blues to Italy.
The pill will never pass for Jérôme Pineau. On the Grandes Gueules du Sport on RMC this Sunday, the former cyclist returned to the final of the 2006 World Cup which saw France lose on penalties to Italy. A meeting that still haunts him. And it’s Zinedine Zidane he wants. Beyond his headbutt on Marco Materazzi which left the Blues numerically inferior, the consultant criticizes the former number 10 for having only thought of himself.
“I'm still left with this, with this love that I have for Zidane, like many people, this last match where he takes everything for himself. This is where I still have bitterness towards this character. This image there… For me, in his face, when he enters this final, he says to himself it's my match, whatever the outcome it's my match. It starts with the panenka, it's hot potato, he can also mess up, he's a genius, it's legendary but in the end he did it for himself”lamented Jérôme Pineau.
“In that match I will never, ever forgive him”
And to repeat it despite his admiration for the legend of French football: “ I haven't forgiven him. Absolutely not, ever. Everything else when you tell me Zidane, I had the chance to see him play indoors in Limoges I was like a kid when I was 35 years old. For me he's someone I don't even want to talk to because he's above, he's a god to me. But in this match I will never, ever forgive him. »
Recently, Christophe Dugarry, great friend of Zizou, returned to the famous headbutt given to Marco Materazzi. And he assured that the native of Marseille will never apologize to the Italian, who had addressed inappropriate words about his sister.
The former Inter defender returned to the origins of this altercation at the microphone of RMC a few days ago.
