I'm finding his response after his apology to the French fans interesting:
ReplyDeleteThe French star stressed he felt no regret about his outburst "because that would mean (Materazzi) was right to say all that."
"My act is not forgivable," Zidane said. "But they must also punish the true guilty party, and the guilty party is the one who provokes."
