Italian defender Marco Materazzi - who crowned his country with the 2006 FIFA World Cup - announced the offer of the shirt in which he played in the final match against France, during which he received the famous butting of the then roosters Zinedine Zidane for sale in a public auction earning his income to fight against the Corona virus.
Materazzi, 46, said on his official accounts on social media that he would donate the price of the shirt to fight the virus that spread in Italy.

The Italian defender immortalized the head of Zidane through a work of art in 2018, which he placed in front of his home in Italy, in which he appears as he raises the World Cup while the French star bounces him.

The bump comes back to the 2006 World Cup final in Germany, when the Azure defender Materazzi succeeded in provoking "roosters" Zidane, who went out of his usual cool and bounced the Italian defender who did not seem to forget this incident at all despite the passage of some 14 years.

It is noteworthy that the match ended with France losing a penalty shootout and Italy winning the World Cup, after Zidane was sent off for a butt.
