not true - here are words from Italy's Manager:
Italy coach Marcello Lippi criticised his French counterpart and defended Materazzi, saying his players did nothing to implicate Zidane and get him sent off.
"Domenech made a gesture that was not very nice, a gesture as if Materazzi had done something but there was nothing. There was no acting. There was nothing going on," the Italian said.
"And you will realise that it was not Materazzi who got the attention of the referee.
"It was the fourth and fifth officials looking at the video at the edge of the pitch.
"We did not do anything. They saw it and they called the attention of the referee.
"Materazzi was not acting. He took a blow and he was hurt."
