Michel Denisot lui a demandé si la réalité "recoupait" ce qu’avaient rapporté les tabloïds anglais qui, s’appuyant sur des spécialistes de la lecture labiale, ont accusé l’Italien d’avoir dit : "On sait tous que tu es le fils d’une pute terroriste." Zidane a juste répondu : "Ben oui".
In other words, Zidane confirmed what some British newspapers had published, namely:
The Times newspaper hired Jessica Rees, whose skill has seen her summoned as an expert witness at criminal trials, to study a tape of Sunday’s match that saw Zidane get a red card for his seemingly spontaneous assault.
"After an exhaustive study of the match video, and with the help of an Italian translator, Rees claimed Materazzi called Zidane ’the son of a terrorist whore’ before adding ’so just f*** off’ for good measure," it said.
The Daily Mail, which wrongly described Marseille’s native Zidane as "Algeria-born", said it had also engaged the services of a lip reader, whom it did not identify, who reached the exact same conclusion as Rees. [Lip reader’s take on Materazzi insult]
