}} Marco Materazzi ((:ˈmarko mateˈrattsi), Ufficiale OMRI; born 19 August 1973) is an Italian footballer and manager, who coaches and plays for Indian Super League club Chennaiyin as a defender. At the beginning of his career, Materazzi played with various Italian teams in Serie B and Serie C, and with Everton in the Premier League. He spent two periods with Perugia (1995–98 and 1999–2001) and signed for Internazionale, in 2001 for €10 million. At club level, he won a number of major honors with Inter including five Serie A league titles in a row from 2006 to 2010, one UEFA Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, four Coppa Italia titles, and the Supercoppa Italiana four times.〔The Matrix – Marco Materazzi: http://lazymanscalcio.tumblr.com/post/18215957095/the-matrix〕 Materazzi earned 41 caps for Italy from his debut in 2001 until 2008, playing in two World Cups and two European Championships. He was one of the key players in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final against France, as he scored Italy's goal and later, in extra time, he received a headbutt from Zinedine Zidane, which was punished with a red card. Italy then went on to win the World Cup in a penalty shoot-out, during which Materazzi scored again. A controversial and provocative figure in football, he was known for his very physical and aggressive style of play, as well as his tight marking and strong, harsh tackling, which led him to receive more than 60 yellow cards and 25 red cards throughout his playing career. Due to his temper, and his commitment to rash, heavy challenges, he has been involved in several altercations with other players during matches, drawing comparisons with retired defender Pasquale Bruno. ''The Times'' placed Materazzi at number 45 in their list of the 50 hardest football players in history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.empireonline.com/forum/printable.asp?m=1554851 )〕 During the 2006–07 season, Materazzi was voted the Serie A Defender of the Year. ==Early life== Marco Materazzi was born in Lecce, where his father, Giuseppe, a professional footballer, was playing for U.S. Lecce. Giuseppe was also a former football coach and manager of teams such as Pisa, Lazio, Sporting CP and Tianjin Teda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marco Materazzi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
