Marco Materazzi was interviewed by Sky in front of the statue which shows the famous headbutt he received from Zidane during the World Cup final in 2006:
“What I think of when I see this statue? I’m reminded of what all Italians think of: we won. Zidane? I wish him well in his career. He could learn an awful lot from a great like Ancelotti and could have learned just as much from another great like Mourinho, but he didn’t. Peace? I live my life and he’s living his life.”
There has rumors that Materazzi could be an assistant coach with Mourinho at Chelsea
“He has never promised anything. You never know in this life, but this is something created by you and not by us.”
What does Inter’s former number 23 think about Mazzarri at Inter?
“So far in his career, he has never failed and I hope for the sake of the Interfans that he won’t now either. He must recreate something of importance, starting with the team. Signings have been made this year just like last year. The president hasn’t withdrawn.”
Is an Inter without one hundred percent Moratti possible?
“It’s a little worrying to think of it, but I’ve always said that if the president decides to step to the side it will be for someone who can strengthen the team.”
Benitez says everyone knows who Materazzi is in Italy…
“It’s a little sketchy because people know who I am outside of Italy. But I wish him good luck as well. Napoli must do better than last year, they’ve brought in a top coach. He can ensure that Napoli raises its quality further, I would be happy for Napoli’s fans. Moreover, De Laurentiis shows his commitment to the club and buys real players. Ibra to Napoli? It would upset the balance in Serie A lot, even if all the teams at the top have been reinforced.”
Who would you like to headbutt for real?
“Nobody, live and let live, if you’ll allow me.”
Is Mazzarri and Mourinho similar in some respects?
“I don’t think so. You can compare them in terms of their personality, but not in terms of how they work. With Mou, we had fun and we would only practice with the ball, from what I heard it’s different with Mazzarri. But he has always achieved results and he will do that also with Inter.”
Maicon to Roma, were you expecting it?
“He will certainly be able to aim for the World Cup, I know how much he wants to come back. I wish him well.”
How far can this Juve reach?
“With Tevez and Llorente I don’t think they need anything more. Two major players are added to a squad that won the Scudetto in the last two years.”
