...that's weird. Zidane admitted in his interview that Materazzi said something horrible about the women in his family...nothing about an ugly death.
I'm inclined to believe this part:
Materazzi said: "I held his shirt, for only a few seconds. He turned towards me and scoffed at me, looking at me with super arrogance, up and down.
"He said 'if you really want my shirt, you can have it later'. It's true, I shot back with an insult."
That would explain the part where Zidane reacts after Materazzi lets go of his shirt, after jumping.
I guess until Zidane tells people exactly what Materazzi said, any theory works.
