“ITARR-TASS” has found the answer to the question that people were interested in after watching the final play of the world cup: “what did Materazzi tell Zidane that made him angry?” It turns out that Materazzi called Zidane a terrorist and reminded him about his origin. The father of Zidane represents the minority of Kabils that live in Aljir. This nation has always been under pressure, especially when they were ruled by France. In 70-80s, they attempted to protect their own rights, but were pressured. Kabils keep a distance from Arabs both in Aljir and France. These people never forgive when others insult their national origin. In other words, we really understand why Zidane did that. The president of France, Jacques Chirac had lunch with the French team, where he called Zidane a “soccer genius”. “I want to tell you that the whole nation likes you and is with you in this difficult phase of your career. You are virtuous, a genius in the soccer world, but at the same time you are emotional and have strong principles. This is why France loves and respects you a lot”, said Jacques Chirac.
