![]() | Zidan declines Star Game invitation London at 20:00 on March 14, local time Manchester United and the European All-Star team will have a charity match to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the "Treaty of Rome" and Manchester to attend the 50th anniversary of the European continental tournament. UEFA(Union of European Football Association) has distributed many invitations to those football stars, including Zidan. But he refuse to take part in the game with no reason. Why? I think the reason is very simple——in the list of invitation, there is another famous football star, his name is Materazzi. After the 2006 World Cup, Zidan retired. We still remember what he did at the finals. Now he do not appear again on the stadium, but focus on a lot of outside activities, such as visiting Bangladesh, returning to his hometown Algeria, watching the NBA match at New York...and so on. But this time, Zidan rejected his mentor——Macello Lippi's invitation, he has never forgiven Materazzi, who insulted him at the World Cup Finals. "It is the UEFA invite him, not me", Lippi responded, "and we got the news that he won't participate in the match at last." It seems that perhaps it's difficult to resolve the contradiction between Zidan and Materazzi. ![]() |
