Gallas claims Zidane was provoked
French defender William Gallas believes Zinedine Zidane was provoked into the headbutt that led to him being sent off in the World Cup final defeat by Italy.
Marco Materazzi appeared to speak to Zidane before the Frenchman thrust his head into the Italian's chest.
"I didn't see it but sometimes football is not only with the ball.
"Sometimes when you have a player who is very clever and says something to you then maybe you are angry and want to 'kill' that player," said Gallas.
Highlights: Italy 1-1 France (Italy win 5-3 on penalties)
He added: "Maybe, and I say maybe, he has made a mistake."
Materazzi refused to answer questions afterwards and Gallas saw that as an admission of guilt by the Italian.
We are very frustrated because you work so hard to get to the final and then lose on penalties
Patrick Vieira
"I don't know what he said. You'll have to ask him but he's gone. I know why he's gone because maybe he's done something wrong."
On his way back to the dressing room after his 110th-minute dismissal, Zidane passed the World Cup trophy.
It brought a sad end to his glittering career and his misery was compounded when France went on to lose 5-3 on penalties.
"Zidane didn't say anything," said Gallas. "He was very disappointed for everybody - for the team and himself.
Whatever was said to Zidane, he should have known not to react like that
Have your say
"I'm very sad for him. It was his last World Cup and everybody wanted to win for him.
"We deserved to win but that is life. I think we played very well and better than Italy but sometimes football is very strange.
"Everybody is disappointed. I hope we will maybe win next time."
French midfielder Patrick Vieira was forced to leave the field because of injury during the second half.
The former Arsenal star said: "We are very frustrated because you work so hard to get to the final and then lose the way we did on penalties.
"That makes it more difficult but that's the way it is and we just have to live with it."
On the Zidane incident, he added: "I don't want to talk about it."
