I find this whole 'OMG Zidane has an aggressive side' reaction by some quite funny, how many have actually followed his career? He has always been known to have a dark side to his game, plenty of times for R.Madrid I've seen him give nasty little kicks/stamps with the ref missing them. Even for Juve and France he has been doing it but as he is a great player that is sometimes ignored
He is no saint but had he been a goodie two shoes he wouldn't of made it this far imo.

ZZ was deliberately baited and fell for it, hook, line and sinker and he has only himself to blame.
Regardless of how out of order the comment was, he's experienced enough to have ignored it and got his revenge on the pitch.
After the match is another matter, he could have taken him apart in the dressing room if he wanted.
You are probably right but that is easy to say. Zidane's fitness is not what it used to be so after 110mins his body is probably hurting as it is, he is trying his hardest to win the match and a player comes out and supposedly calls your ill mother a terrorist and a whore while she is ill in a hospital. Matterazi is a known wind up merchant so I'm not at all suprised he made out of order comments but I don't blame Zidane one bit here.

Di Rossi is one the fairest players you can meet.
Not the first time I've seen him elbow a player unprovoked, seen plenty of stamps from him as well again unprokoked. Good but reckless player.
