Kyle Materazzi and China have at least two origins. One is that former China international Ma Mingyu once played for Serie A team Perugia, and Materazzi was the main central defender and captain of this team at that time; Secondly, his father Giuseppe Materazzi was the head coach of Tianjin TEDA Team A in 2003.

All-around defender

As a central defender, Materazzi's task on the court is not just defense. Materazzi scored every season in Serie A and Premier League. In 2000-0 1 season, he scored 12 goals as captain in Perugia, becoming the defender with the most goals in Serie A at that time. It is precisely because of the experience of the Premier League that Materazzi's defense has the taste of a Premier League player, and that is fierce. In addition, Materazzi is also famous for his hot temper. Conflicts, injuries, red and yellow cards with each other are commonplace for Materazzi.

World Cup Outlook

In the Italian national team, Materazzi can only be used as a backup central defender because of Nesta and Cannavaro. But it doesn't seem to affect his appearance in the game. He got the chance to participate in the 2002 World Cup and the 2004 European Cup. Materazzi, 33, is in a downward trend, and he also hopes to have a chance to show his strength in his last World Cup.

Rodman on the football field

There is a big bug in the NBA, Rodman. He is famous for fighting, insulting opponents, engaging in various gimmicks, fancy tattoos and being good at rebounding. On the court, there are also bad guys like Rodman, who is Materazzi of the Italian team. The latter even claimed to be "Rodman on the football field".

Materazzi has always been a controversial figure in Serie A. He has a fierce style, excellent defensive skills and excellent free kick skills. But his fists are stronger than his feet. In the second year after joining the international team, that is, the 2002-2003 season, his villain nature was exposed. In the pre-season warm-up match, Materazzi's flying shovel almost made Milan's Inzaghi's stomach open. Then in the Milan derby, he shoveled Sheva with the same foul.

Materazzi's craziest scene happened after the international match with Siena in 2004-2005. He beat Siena defender Cirillo in the player's lane, who was beaten with chapped lips. In the 2-2 draw with Ajax in the Champions League on February 24 this year, Materazzi quarreled with Mancini in the dressing room because he was dissatisfied with Mancini's putting himself on the bench, and even almost hit the rumbled. On April 5th, in the match against Villarreal, he cut a big blood hole in Sorin's brow with his black elbow.

Regarding the controversy he caused, Materazzi claimed that he was a good man and a noble man. He even advertised himself as Rodman on the court: "I am a bit like Rodman. I have read his autobiography. He is completely two people on and off the court. " He believes that the fierceness on the field is actually the embodiment of his investment in the game. "Everyone who knows me knows that I am a good person off the court." Regarding the controversy caused by Materazzi, the old Materazzi publicly declared that his son was a "good boy".

Reconciliation with Zidane

On May 5th, 2065438+0/KLOC-0, Beijing time, according to the French sports magazine So Foot, in an exclusive interview with the magazine, Materazzi revealed that he personally apologized to Zidane on 20101,and Qi Zu accepted it gladly and the two reconciled.

The scene of the 2006 World Cup finals is still unforgettable. Due to Materazzi's provocation, Zidane turned and knocked him to the ground with his head. In the end, Zidane was sent off, which became one of the reasons for the failure of French penalty kick. Afterwards, Materazzi and Zidane quarreled constantly and became an enduring topic among the media.

But Materazzi suddenly said that he and Zidane had made up. It's 20 10, 165438,1Milan on October 3rd. At that time, Zidane came here with Real Madrid to participate in the Champions League match with AC Milan. Materazzi met Zidane in a hotel parking lot, hoping to make peace with him. To Materazzi's surprise, Zidane readily accepted Materazzi's apology.

"He said he didn't know me," Materazzi recalled. "He thinks I'm just a fan. But I doubt his words, because I always remember him. "

Materazzi went on to say, "I held out my hand and said,' Listen, I'm sorry about what happened, and I think it's time to end it'. Zidane said,' No, no, it's nothing at all. Relax. Let's shake hands, that's settled. The communication between men is the most wonderful. We met like two friends or two enemies in the hotel parking lot and shook hands. "

After reconciliation with Zidane, Materazzi also hopes to meet with FIFA President Blatter. Because in that incident, Materazzi has always been regarded as the wrong party, but Materazzi himself does not think so.

Materazzi said: "At that time, FIFA summoned me, but my lawyer was not allowed to argue with the disciplinary committee. They just keep respect for Zidane, but treat me as a bad person. I know Blatter can speak Italian, so we can communicate calmly. I think there will be an opportunity sooner or later. "

Farewell to Inter Milan

As the team's starting centre-back, Materazzi, who is nearly 38 years old, did not perform satisfactorily on the court. In the match with Florence, Materazzi's obvious low-level mistakes in the position of central defender almost made Inter Milan face a bigger crisis. However, as a veteran who has played for the team for 10 years, Materazzi is also a legend of Inter Milan! At the end of this season, Materazzi's appearance can be seen as a farewell to a veteran. Materazzi hopes that his blue-black career will start from the battle and end from the battle!

As AC Milan won the league championship two rounds ahead of time in the May 9, 20 1 1, the contest between Inter Milan and Florence seems to be of little significance. Perhaps in order to better prepare for the semi-final of the Italian Cup, Leonardo made an adjustment in the starting lineup, and Materazzi, a veteran who is nearly 38 years old, replaced Lucio. You know Materazzi has only played seven league matches and champions league matches for Inter Milan so far this season. If there is no serious injury, Materazzi will not get a chance to play, let alone start. Before this game, the whole market revealed that Materazzi is likely to retire in the Major League after the season, and the rest of this season is likely to be Materazzi's farewell battle.

Materazzi started four times this season and Inter Milan conceded six goals. During Samuel's absence, the central defender became the biggest problem for the Nerazzurri. Materazzi and another veteran Cordoba often become one of the chief culprits of the team's defeat. If Inter Milan wants to rebuild, the defense line is the primary focus of the transformation.

Although Lian Po is old, Materazzi is the symbol of this team for Inter Milan. Since joining Inter Milan in 2006, it has been 10 season, 5438+0. The tough guy in Italian football has helped Inter Milan win numerous honors and the Italian national team win the World Cup during this 10 year. It can be said that the most brilliant stage of Materazzi's career is all in Inter Milan. According to the whole market, Materazzi himself intends to voluntarily give up his unexpired contract and leave Inter Milan at the end of this season. At that time, the media thought that Materazzi's next stop was probably the Major League of America, and then he chose to retire.
