Sesuai
yang Saya tulis kemarin, kalau Saya selalu berusaha bersikap objektif
dalam menanggapi suatu hal. Maka disini Saya akan lampirkan hasil
wawancara Zidane tadi malam. Diluar Saya mendukung Italy, memang sangat
disayangkan sikap Materazzi dengan provokasinya. Saya berani berbicara
karena Zidane sudah mengeluarkan statementnya. Tapi, sekali lagi TIDAK semua orang di ITALY seperti MATERAZZI. Dan, itu personality dari MATERAZZI bukan semua pemain ITALY.
Buat Saya tetap tindakan itu tidak dibenarkan "dalam kacamata
pertandingan Piala Dunia" yang disaksikan jutaan pasang mata, anak
kecil sampai dewasa diseluruh dunia. Mungkin kata-kata teman Saya ada
benarnya, mendingan Zidane seusai pertandingan nyegat Materazzi dan
minta penjelasan atas kata-katanya. Atau mungkin Zidane ingin
"menghukum" Materazzi dengan mengorbankan perjuangan timnya dilapangan
dan harapan seluruh negaranya bahkan pertandingan terakhir dalam karir
sepakbolanya.
Mungkin benar ini bukan soal rasis apalagi sampai melebar ke agama.
Zidane mengakui ini semua tentang ibu dan adiknya. Jadi, untuk yang
kemarin-kemarin membahas masalah agama please kesampingkan itu semua.
Makanya Zidane marah karena ini orang terdekatnya. Tapi, sekali lagi
setiap orang berbeda dalam bereaksi. Kalau masih bertanya kepada Saya
"seandainya" tentu hasilnya akan berbeda. Saya bukan Zidane, dan
kalaupun Saya Zidane pastinya Saya memiliki Zidane versi Saya yang
mungkin tetap berusaha bermain hingga usai kemudian akan curhat dan
marah-marah di MP
Berikut wawancaranya :
Here is a translation of what he told the TV channel Canal Plus about the Materazzi incident.
Interviewer: You know the Italian players well
because you played in Italy for five years. Did you have any problem
with any of them beforehand?
Zinedine Zidane: Not at all. You always have
friction with certain players...that is the game, it has always been
like that. But I never had any clashes with anyone.
Interviewer: Nor Materazzi?
Zinedine Zidane: No, never. There was nothing beforehand and nothing in the match until he started pulling my jersey.
He grabbed my shirt and I told him to stop. I told him if he wanted I'd swap it with him at the end of the match.
That is when he said some very hard words, which were
harder than gestures. He repeated them several times. It all happened
very quickly and he spoke about things which hurt me deep down.
Interviewer: Everyone wants to know exactly what he said...
Zinedine Zidane: They were very serious things, very personal things.
Interviewer: About your mother and your sister?
Zinedine Zidane: Yes. They were very hard words. You hear them once and you try to move away.
But then you hear them twice, and then a third time... I
am a man and some words are harder to hear than actions. I would rather
have taken a blow to the face than hear that.
Interviewer: He said these things about your mother and sister two or three times?
Zinedine Zidane: Yes. I reacted and of course it is not a gesture you should do. I must say that strongly.
It was seen by two or three billion people watching on television and millions and millions of children.
It was an inexcusable gesture and to them, and the
people in education whose job it is to show children what they should
and shouldn't do, I want to apologise.
Interviewer: You apologise to them but do you really regret having done it?
Zinedine Zidane: I can't regret it because if I
do it would be like admitting that he was right to say all that. And
above all, it was not right.
We always talk about the reaction, and inevitably it must be punished. But if there is no provocation, there is no reaction.
First of all you have to say there is provocation, and
the guilty one is the one who does the provoking. The response is to
always punish the reaction, but if I react, something has happened.
Do you imagine that in a World Cup final like that, with
just 10 minutes to go to the end of my career, I am going to do
something like that because it gives me pleasure?
Interviewer: No of course not. But at the moment you exploded...
Zinedine Zidane: There was provocation, and it
was very serious, that is all. My action was inexcusable but you have
to punish the real culprit, and the real culprit is the one who
provoked it. Voila.
