In 2006, Marco Materazzi fouled Zlatan Ibrahimovic so hard. But Zlatan held onto that moment for four long years.
After playing at Inter and Barcelona, Zlatan returned to AC Milan. In his first Milan Derby, he won a penalty after another foul from Materazzi β but that wasnβt enough for revenge.
It came in the second half.
Materazzi got in Zlatanβs faceβ¦ and Zlatan responded with a taekwondo move.
After the game, StankoviΔ asked him: βWhy did you do that?β
Zlatanβs answer? βIβve been waiting 4 years for this.β
This wasnβt just football β it was personal.
