The Matrix: anything but a quiet life for the ever-controversial ex-Evertonian
Temperamental, rarely quiet and certainly never dull, Materazzi isn’t getting any younger, nor is he showing too many signs of mellowing.
Is never afraid to throw himself in at the business end of crowded penalty areas and has an excellent head on him, which he uses to great effect at both ends of the pitch. Can get caught out by a tricky forward and is vulnerable to the odd turn of speed, frequently resorting to foul play to stop his opponent.
Has bags of experience though and knows every trick in the book. Inter fans, naturally enough, will never hear a bad word against him.
